Hyatt Regency Times Square

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was beautiful, clean, well-maintained, and very conveniently located. We registered early (around noon) and were told that we would get a text once the room was ready but this never happened. I checked a second time with reception at 2:30 and the room was actually ready. Everything else was great."
