The Bottom Line:

The New York Marriott Marquis is a centrally located hotel in the heart of Manhattan. Guests love the hotel's proximity to Times Square and Central Park. The spacious rooms are both quiet and recently renovated, and many of the suites actually overlook Times Square. Guests rave about the stunning views—both from their rooms and the glass elevators. The hotel staff has been noted for their timely service, and the lobby offers a wide variety of dining options—including a highly rated sushi bar. While the food is largely considered first rate, one complaint is the exorbitant prices charged—even for the simplest of dishes. Nevertheless, guests consistently praise the hotel's location and plentiful amenities.
