Find 3-Star Hotels in New York

Pod Times Square is perfect if you are solo, great location, room was basic but clean, cleaned every day, clean towels, hairdryer and tv. My view was of the Hudson River, what's not too like. Walking tours every day if you are interested. Bar facilities, including happy 2 hours and coffee, muffins etc available for breakfast. I really enjoyed my stay here and would come back. I stayed in a Queen room which slept two which was fine for me, just be aware if you are sharing as it is small but hey how long are you in your room in NYC.

We recently stayed at Homewood Suites in Midtown Manhattan, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is ideal—just a short walk to major attractions like Times Square and Central Park, making it easy to explore the city. The suite itself was spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable, with a full kitchen that was a nice touch for longer stays. The staff at the dining area were friendly and attentive but not so at the front desk. The complimentary breakfast was a great way to start the day. Overall, it provided a perfect blend of comfort and convenience for my trip to New York City. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a homey base in the heart of Manhattan.

### Marriott beats Hilton! I can't believe that Marriott and Hilton are only 165 feet (about 0.03 miles) apart, but the experience is so different. Marriott provided free bottled water at check-in, while Hilton charged $8 per bottle. Hilton's elevators were all out of service due to the so-called ”flood”, while Marriott, which is only separated by a wall, was running normally and in an orderly manner. From the moment I stepped into the door, Marriott's smiling service made people feel warm. When the staff asked if I needed help with my luggage, I hesitated for a moment - because my luggage had been delayed in Hilton due to elevator failure. Last time I attended a meeting, I had a tight schedule and had to choose Hilton with a great location. As a result, I spent 17 minutes waiting for the elevator! For business travelers, don't choose Hilton. Whether in Hunan, China or Manhattan, New York, my stay experience was extremely disappointing. The room soundproofing was very poor, and it was almost impossible to sleep! To be honest, if Marriott can completely crush Hilton in such a first-tier city and developed country, it already says it all. Not to mention the refund issue - Hilton's three-night room rate is as high as five figures, and I booked a room with a balcony. As a result, because of their so-called ”flood”, I still haven't refunded it! If I hadn't walked into Marriott with my luggage today, I couldn't believe what I experienced at Hilton. ### Marriott Completely Wins Over Hilton! I can't believe the stark contrast between Marriott and the Hilton just 165 feet (0.03 miles) away. At check-in, Marriott provided complimentary bottled water, while Hilton charged $8 USD per bottle. The elevators at Hilton were out of service due to alleged ”flooding,” yet somehow, despite being just one wall apart, everything at Marriott was running perfectly. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles. When asked if I needed assistance with my luggage, I hesitated for a moment—because at Hilton, my luggage was stuck downstairs for ages due to the elevator delays. Last time I stayed at Hilton for a conference, I had an urgent schedule, yet I waited 17 minutes just for an elevator. Especially for business travelers, never choose Hilton. My experience has been consistently disappointing—whether in Hunan, China, or Manhattan, New York. The soundproofing is terrible! Honestly, if a Marriott can outshine Hilton in a first-tier city of a first-world country, that speaks volumes. And let's talk about refunds—three nights at Hilton cost me five figures, and I booked a room with a balcony. Yet, due to their so-called ”flooding,” I still haven't received my refund. If I hadn't personally walked into Marriott today, I wouldn't have believed the difference between these two hotels.

The room was really good, perfect fit for 2 people and medium luggage. Proper amenities inside the room including coffee machine. The bathroom quite big and well separated wet and dry area. The location is 20-100 m to all subway lines, very convenience for visit most attractions.

Location is great. Close to Times Square and subway. The water with lemon and peppermint in the lobby is so refreshing. I love it! Breakfast is included which is good but the dining area is always full of people. 4 out of 5 our days there ook us some time to get a table. The biggest problem is about 3 elevators serving a 40-storey building which you have to prepare to wait and wait and wait.

This is my third time staying here and every time it's amazing - the best value for money in Manhattan. Large spacious rooms, all the amenities in the room (the only thing missing is cups or a tea/coffee maker, but that's not necessary!). Large spacious walk-in closets and showers. And great views (the photo shows the view from the window). $150 deposit is returned the same day Excellent soundproofing I think this is my new favorite hotel The location is also great - close to noisy areas, but in a quiet place, with many restaurants, cafes and shops nearby.

Great location , you can walk to other attractions, right in Time Square. Quite room and very clean. Please request high floor when you book, if you get lower floor you have to close your curtain all times as you will see your office ‘s neighbors. Breakfast is excellent. Free coffee station.

I’m glad I found Pod 39 because it’s so near the Grand Central Station with an affordable price, though the room not big but just the right small size like me. The cleaner done their job well and and the rooftop bar is pretty and great skyline view especially at night. The staffs were friendly and helpful too. And best thing is they provide free walking tour at all Pod branch every twice per week and free coffee each morning. There’s eateries and shops nearby too. 😊

The location of the Holiday Inn is excellent. It's situated between Sixth and Seventh Avenue, making it easy to walk to the subway station and Times Square. The hotel rooms are not large but they are clean and tidy, and they come with a safe and a hairdryer. Breakfast is free and includes fruits and juices, as well as bagels, cupcakes, and nut bars. If you're in a hurry, you can also take it to go. The most unforgettable person for me was Ms. Nadine. She helped me get back the passports for me and my family. I forgot to take the passports out of the safe when I checked out, and I only remembered when I was about to leave New York after spending the whole day out. I rushed back to the hotel and, in my panic, I told her the wrong room number. Ms. Nadine was very patient and compassionate; she let me go up with her to check. At that moment I found out I had given her the wrong room number. I am truly very grateful to her. I will stay in the Holiday Inn again.

A hotel with a higher CP value in New York, but although the room is small, it is basically enough for one person. The minor drawbacks are that the air conditioner is quite noisy and the toilet is often used by others and there is water everywhere.
