Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the Sheraton for 4 days, it was amazing! We arrived early for check-in, so we put our luggage in the $30 luggage storage. At 4 pm the check-in line was huge, but since we had checked in early, we had access to a shorter line. So the tip is: arrive early! The breakfast is very good! The staff is very friendly! My advice is: include breakfast in your room rate. It's worth it! We didn't have any problems!"
