Hampton Inn Manhattan/ Times Square South

This is Hells Kitchen, not Times Square South.
Rooms are smaller than typical NYC hotel, with no workspace at all. Great price, decent location, convenient breakfast and friendly staff. Some of the fruit was still frozen and the coffee was not great.

It's a great hotel and very central to a lot of subway stops and attractions. Very impressed at how they can make such a small area feel so spacious. Their elevators are very slow and seem to never come. That's the only complaint. If you're on a high floor, good luck!

Everything about the hotel was acceptable except for the broken elevator. Thankfully, we were able to get a room on the 4th floor... So lugging our baggage and belongings up and down the stairs all weekend wasn't as traumatizing as it could have been. However, there was consistently a line of disgruntled guests waiting in the lobby for the one working elevator car all weekend.

I chose this hotel in order to be close to Times Square (~10 minute walk depending on foot traffic density) and save a little money as compared to the hotels closer to time square. In retrospect, I should have just paid the extra $20 a night and stayed at a nicer hotel right in or adjacent to Times Square.

Tip: $55 Per Day for Cars / $65 Per Day for SUV's to Valet (It is a third party service that handles the valet function, and you do not interact with these individuals, therefore was not presented an opportunity to tip my valet.)

BUGS, BUGS, BUGS !!!
Bugs in my bathroom.
They did not take care of it and seemed unconcerned. Not sure which is worse.
BUGS! Disgusting!
If I have these bugs when I get home I am taking legal action.

Also, my room was near ice machine. I was awakened by hotel restaurant employee at 5:30 AM, banging containers around. I went out and asked her to hold the noise. She seemed unconcerned and kept right on banging.

Thank you, Hampton Inn.
NO THANKS.

Great front desk service, Chris was super friendly fast and made sure everything was to our liking. The room was gorgeous, clean, neat, everything was laid out and easy to find. The bathrooms are super clean and so nice it was hard to leave lol. We asked for a room with a view of the city so naturally we were on the 27th floor. The elevators are super fast! It only took about 30 secs to get from our floor to the first floor! The hotel is really close to everything as well. Madison square garden is less than 15 mins away walking and Time Square is even closer. Not to mention there are clubs, bars, restaurants, banks and stores all within walking distance.
