The only thing keeping it from a 5-star review is the curious choice to put semi see-through glass between the shower and the bed area, giving people a view of the silhouette of the person showering. Not sure who thought that was a good idea ! Read less

Our time at this hotel was great overall. The location is good and the breakfast was delicious. However there were certainly some flaws. The keys/locks on the door and the elevator were terrible. More than half the times they didn’t work and we had troubles getting into our room and also using the elevator. Our shower leaked all over the floor every time so that was quite messy. We did have a nice stay though and would still recommend to others. Read less

RIU Plaza New York Times Square is centrally located to main attractions, restaurant row, etc. The hotel in general is very nice, comfortable and have nice bar and restaurant on the establishment. Our room displayed a very nice view of the Hudson River from the 23rd floor.
