The Gallivant Times Square

Not to bad

Plus: It was close to a lot of things to do in Time Square! Easy walking distance to the metro and other sight seeing attractions.

Minus: They didn't change the bed sheet. All they did was keep turning it inside out and the back again. They only service the bathrooms as far as we could tell. They might have changed the bed covers, but couldn't tell on that part. Shower head had a leak and was spraying water in the ceiling as you took a shower and the water didn't drain very good and it would crate a small pool of soap and water at your feet.

Fantastic Location

Plus: We were a couple with my 86 year old mother. Gorgeous lobby with a place to sit if you need to wait for your room. We liked the premium suite which has one double bed and two bunks. The bunks are separated from the double. The bathroom separates the bedding into two separate rooms, so allowed us privacy. The room was clean and the suites include a small refrigerator, in addition to a coffee maker. We found the room suitable for an excellent stay in the city, allowing mother to go with us to the broadway shows, within walking distance. We got a fantastic deal on the nightly rate. The location can't get any better than this.

Minus: The local Fire Department is right on the same block so you will hear the sound of sirens. Being in the city is going to be noisier. I suppose the large five star chain hotels will insulate their windows more. Bring earplugs if you are affected by noise. Yes, it's an art to keep the floor from getting wet due to the design of the shower. However, we were able to position the shower head to shoot left onto the shower wall which helped a lot. This is a small problem. We found the housekeepers amiable and helpful when approached. Staff were mainly professional --- neither friendly, nor unfriendly. The concierge was more approachable and kind.
