Pros:

Buena ubicacion y personal agradable. El edificio se encuentra actualmente cubierto por andamios debido a trabajos de renovación, que parecen prolongarse durante un tiempo considerable.

Cons:

El edificio se encuentra actualmente cubierto por andamios debido a trabajos de renovación, que parecen prolongarse durante un tiempo considerable. Además, la habitación mostraba algunos signos de desgaste; por ejemplo, la puerta del baño no cerraba correctamente. Asimismo, considero que el desayuno podría mejorarse tanto en variedad como en calidad, ya que no estuvo a la altura de lo esperado para un hotel de esta categoría. La atención del personal también podría ser más cálida y orientada al cliente.

Father son time on Fathers Day weekend.
Pros:

The Knickerbocker hotel is amazing. We were in NYC for Father’s Day weekend for father and son time. We stayed in a 2 queens suite. It was so comfortable and full of luxury. Watched Mexico and USA games in the WG. Watching Mexico we had jumbo shrimp cocktail and Artichoke dip and baguette. And a few drinks, totally delicious and filled us. USA game went more traditional with wings, and they were jumbo. The entire staff were professional and showed outstanding customer service. Beautiful place and in the heart of everything. Roof top deck has amazing views and great drinks. I will definitely stay again.

Decent Option for a Times Square Stay
Pros:

This hotel was perfectly adequate for a stay in Times Square. The location was convenient and made it easy to get around the city. The room was clean, which is always appreciated, but it was smaller and darker than expected.
Service was fine overall, though the doormen were often not around when needed. Nothing was particularly disappointing, but nothing really stood out either. It served its purpose as a place to sleep while exploring New York.
Overall, an average experience. If the price is right, I would consider staying again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to book it.
