Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square
5/5 Excellent
"Everything was very clean and appealing about the inside and out. The lobby was beautiful and well kept, as well as both entrances to the hotel were kept clean and nice looking. The room was fantastic and clean, and overall made us feel comfortable to stay there. The only things we would have liked was a heavier comforter on the bed instead of just a single fleece blanket, but I'm sure we could have asked the front desk for another one. We just never got around to asking haha other than that, the place was perfect! Loved having a corner room that looked over Time Square!"

Enjoyed
"My best friend and I stayed here and it happened to be right in the middle of all the things we wanted to do while visiting NYC, location was perfect for us. Beds we comfy, pillows could be better however, I've never been to a hotel that had a comfy pillow. The room could be updated as far as style, not dirty at all, just older room than expecting. The staff were all very helpful."
