A friend and I booked a wine and cheese pairing class at New York City’s Eataly for an autumn Friday, and decided to make it an overnight getaway. Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel proved the perfect host.
After a late-morning train ride from Pennsylvania to New York City and a short cab to the centrally located property, we soon found ourselves waiting at reception in the busy lobby. We were early and our rooms were not yet ready, so we stored our luggage and set out for lunch. When we returned later, our room was ready. I checked us in and my friend grabbed our bags, and within minutes we were in the room.
Our double room had two beds, separated by a large nightstand. The lamp had built-in electrical outlets, which I love. Immediately upon entering, the bathroom was to the left, offering a tub/shower, toilet and vanity. I was impressed by the amenities offered, which included a mini loofah — that was a first for me when it came to in-room amenities. There was ample space for two woman to stretch out, spread our belongings and get ready without toppling over one another. Other features of the room included a dresser, a mounted TV and a cocktail table with two chairs.
Our room afforded us access to the 44th-floor Sheraton Club Lounge, offering private seating, city views, Starbucks coffee drinks and snacks throughout the day. We also had complimentary WiFi and a full breakfast spread.
Also of note: My friend and I both remarked on how quiet the room was and what a solid of night we received, considering the hotel’s location smack dab in hectic and loud Times Square.
Sadly, my one-night stay didn’t allow for much exploration of the hotel, but for those with more time, there’s plenty to experience. The fitness center offers state-of-the-art equipment daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. On-site dining options include Hudson Market for breakfast, lunch and dinner; Hudson Market Bistro for dinner; Link@Sheraton Café; Lobby Lounge & Library Bar; and room service. The hotel’s ample meeting and event space was recently renovated.
For travelers to the Big Apple looking for a central location, Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel can’t be beat, with its location at the heart of Times Square. The property offers a quiet, comfortable stay close to all the action.
