The rooms need updating, refresh and better quality beds and pillows desperately. Thin walls could hear my neighbors all
Pros:

Being in Times Square and walkable distance to Broadway shows, Central Park and bus routes. Liked Serendipity connected, had great waffles!

Cons:

The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. Poor quality and thin mattress like a fold out style bed. Tiny room kept scratching my leg on the 2nd bed as no room to walk around. Bathroom poor condition with cracked shower floor tiles.

Disappointed 😩
Pros:

Close to theaters.

Cons:

Deceptive. Beautiful entry but room was very disappointing. One towel rack and cheap towels in bathroom. Had to ask for towels and/or washcloths every night. Had to have commode worked on every other day. No ice machine . No refrigerators and/or microwave.

Uma hospedagem marcada por falhas graves de qualidade, atendimento e ausência de solução, salva apenas pela localização
Pros:

Somente a localização era boa no hotel .

Cons:

Minha experiência no OYO Times Square foi extremamente insatisfatória e evidencia falhas relevantes de gestão, padrão operacional e atendimento ao cliente.

No check-in, é exigido bloqueio de US$ 500 no cartão como garantia por eventual violação da política de não fumar. Contudo, ao ingressar no primeiro quarto designado, fui imediatamente confrontado com um odor intenso e inequívoco de maconha. O ambiente era absolutamente impraticável. A discrepância entre a severidade da penalidade imposta ao hóspede e a incapacidade do hotel de assegurar um quarto livre de odor é preocupante.

Solicitei a troca imediata do quarto. A substituição foi realizada, porém acompanhada de má vontade e comentários inadequados por parte do funcionário, evidenciando despreparo no atendimento. Caso o problema não tivesse sido comunicado prontamente, haveria o risco de responsabilização indevida por uma infração cometida por terceiros , situação inadmissível.

O padrão estrutural do quarto ficou muito abaixo do razoável: dimensões extremamente reduzidas, cama desconfortável e serviço de limpeza superficial, limitado basicamente à arrumação da cama, sem adequada higienização do carpete ou do ambiente.

As toalhas disponibilizadas eram de qualidade bastante inferior, finas, ásperas e pouco absorventes , dificultando inclusive secar o corpo adequadamente. Trata-se de um item básico de hospitalidade que não atende a um padrão mínimo esperado.

Outro ponto crítico é a infraestrutura de elevadores: extremamente pequenos e excessivamente demorados, gerando espera constante, especialmente em horários de maior fluxo.

A situação se agrava quando considerada a tratativa referente a uma diária paga e não utilizada. Três meses antes da estadia, realizei por equívoco uma reserva para 22 de fevereiro. Assim que identifiquei o erro, comuniquei imediatamente tanto o hotel quanto a plataforma Booking.

Pros:

Como posso afirmar que gostei de algo após ter vivenciado uma experiência marcada por falhas de atendimento, problemas estruturais e ausência total de solução para um prejuízo financeiro?

A única coisa positiva foi a localização na Times Square. No entanto, o hotel não condiz em absolutamente nada com o padrão que se espera da região onde está situado.

Cons:

Great location but difficulty receiving deposit back
Pros:

Great location literally around the corner from Times Square, stayed in room 502, lovely and warm, hot showers too, bed made and towels changed every day.

That is the plus side!!! No as past comments still no refund from our deposit, I have emailed numerous addresses and receive the same worded email saying no information on their files, I booked through Opodo who gave me the relevant information and also attached evidence of booking and deposit paid but still nothing BEWARE!!!

dont trust them with your Payment Cards. Save your Money!
Pros:

Just one front desk guy named Richard. he listens to you and delivers.

Cons:

NEVER EVER give them the "REFUNDABLE" stay or property tax on card that they claim they will give back upon checkout. Its been 1 months and i still have not received my Refund of 269 USD. i tried giving them cash and they said they ONLY accept cards (for sure so they dont send it back) i tried opening tickets and its an endless loop. this hotel is a SCAM in short :).

Don’t stay here, find somewhere else to stay.
Pros:

Booked a superior queen room to accompany my daughter in law & granddaughter who won a holiday to New York.
Upon arrival the reception looked quite nice and the gentleman on reception polite, he asked for a credit card for security , I had already paid upfront for 4 nights.
As soon as I got in the elevator i realise it’s not what I thought, I was in room 319, my god I have honestly never been in such a dirty place (I have travelled west to east of the USA). Dirty carpets with uneven floor, mould covered bathroom, dirty walls and taped up windows! It was 8pm at night so 1am Uk time and too late to find an alternative, needless to say I checked out the next morning after a cold uncomfortable night. It is now 5 weeks and I am still in a dispute over 2 charges of £99 & £132 plus tax that they took off my card, after phone calls and emails and a promise of contact within 48hrs I have now taken the dispute up with my credit card company. So not only did I lose the £790 room cost I then had to pay for a room in an alternative hotel for the remaining 3 nights.
