The Time Hotel
$-$$$, Midtown West
User Rating: ** 2.2
Fodor's Review:
This spot half a block from the din of Times Square tempers trendiness with a touch of humor. A ridiculously futuristic glass elevator -- eggshells line the bottom of the shaft -- transports guests to the second-floor lobby. In the adjoining bar, nature videos lighten up the low-slung, serious, gray-scale furnishings. The smallish guest rooms, each themed on one of the primary colors -- red, yellow, or blue -- have mood lighting and even specific "color" aromas that create a unique, if contrived, hotel experience.

Time for the Time
Posted by denverdweller from Denver, Colorado on 10/28/07
We have stayed at the Time Hotel several times. We have always had a very positive experience.The hotel is an oasis in Time Square. It is quiet and the staff are welcoming. The rooms have many luxurious touches and the beds are great. I think it is a lot of fun and not a typical chain. My family and I really like it.RATING: 5.0
Worst Hotel I Have Ever Checked Into
Posted by trm420 from Philadelphia, PA on 12/9/06
I had to pay 500 dollars for the room, and when the bellman opened the door, I asked where the room was! This hotel located near Times Square in NYC is so small you can touch the door from your bed (I did!) If you can live with a shoebox sized room for 500 dollars, then there's the bathroom. The sink is the size you would find in a recreational vehicle. There is NO shelf in the shower for soap, shampoo or other amenities, and in the room I stayed in the smell of MILDEW permiated the entire bathroom. Oh yes, I almost forgot there are no washcloths in the bathroom and the only soap from the shower is a shotglass sized bottle of bath gel that is left on the floor of the shower. Ok, you still are sold with the location and can deal with the bathroom and the room. Don't pick up anything in the honor bar you don't want to buy. The thing is rigged to charge you if you pick something up.RATING: 1.4

If your time is important, don's stay at The Time

Don't stay here....reservation was lost and I had to wait an hour, even though I had a printed copy. Middle of the night, the ceiling opened up from a flood in the room above. The hotel cleaned up the mess, but didn't offer me another room. Next morning the manager and general manager refused to make any compromise, or take responsibilty.RATING: 1.0
