Top Columbia Street Waterfront District Hotel Reviews

Hotel St. James

6/10 Okay

"The rooms are pretty clean, it’s an old hotel so small rooms. What I didn’t like was there was no coffee or water available. I feel like that’s the minimum that should have been offered. The location is pretty central albeit a lot of walking around the city finding your way."

Aura Hotel Times Square

8/10 Good

"The hotel and my room were generally clean and comfortable. Also, the location of the hotel close to Times Square, Broadway, restaurants, museums and other attractions was very good. Room service was good. On the weaker side was customer service at the front desk. They answered questions but it felt as though you were really on your own here. Not much in the way of customer service or general helpfulness. Luggage was stored upon early arrival at no charge which was very good. But no help with getting luggage to my room. Elevators were old and very small. Hallway floors and walls were a bit drab. I would stay here again due to good location and competitive room pricing. However, If you are lookin to be pampered or impress a significant other, there might be better choices out there. I was traveling solo, so it didn't matter. If I was bringing a woman with me on the next trip, I would explore other options that have better customer service, more amenities and a little more "WOW" factor. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate the AURA a 7, or maybe 7.5. Thanks."

Hampton Inn New York Times Square

2/10 Terrible

"How do I begin? hotel under construction never told, less than friendly staff, horrible breakfast(over cooked, cold, rushed to eat and shut down 15 early) claustrophobic room, shower no pressure, bathroom wall paper coming off,had to leave windows open because thermostat would not cool room below 71 degrees, cleaning staff knocking on door at 10:05am asking us if they could start to clean the room when check out was 11am, horrible elevators service ( waiting 5-10 minutes each time to enter elevator with 15 people already on elevator) This is just the beginning. Never ever again booking a stay at a Hampton inn!!!!"

Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square

6/10 Okay

"Overall, it was a good hotel; some staff were very helpful, others not. It's right in the centre of Times Square - if you are planning on seeing Broadway shows, it's a great location. As a first-time visitor, it was quite central compared to other places in New York, and the subway is close and convenient - it was easy to go explore all the other boroughs. The bed is very comfortable. The cleaners will come to change your towels and take out the garbage, but other than that, the room is pretty untouched. The bar in the lobby is convenient, and being out of town, you get a $34 credit per day to use (I'm not sure if this was a promo or not), but it's fun to grab a drink before going out. As we arrived very early and check-in was not until 4 pm, they tried to accommodate us by letting us into our room early, but we only got to our room around 2:30 (I would opt for an early check-in option so you can fully maximize your first day if you are arriving early, as we did). Upon check-in, a card is required for a $300 deposit, although upon check-out, you only get $150 back due to "Taxes"; these should've been included in the price of the hotel when booking, as we were told we would get the full $300 deposit back."
