    Would love to have tea or coffee on hand for longer hours

    Noahay at reception was super helpful and friendly. The concierge were very professional and accommodating. We felt well looked after and secure on these premises. Establishment was modern, chic and immaculate.

    I mentioned in multiple occassions that we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and that a little token (even a card acknowledging the date) would have been awesome. They didn't do anything at all. I stayed earlier that week in DC and they were way more accomodating and welcoming. I was a bit disappointing about that.

    The acoustic insulation is not sufficient, the sound of lift machine as a train passing through the room, also the sound of the AC machine causing loud noise which caused discomfort in sleeping.

    The location is next to all subway and time square. The staff are friendly.

    I really liked the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfy and well kept. The location was perfect for our Broadway show. We asked for a room on the 8th Ave side so we could be away from the construction, which they were thankfully able to accommodate. All in all I’m glad we choose this property and I would stay there again.

    There was hair left in the bathroom & the filter hadn't been changed in a while so when we turned the heat on it was blowing weird black stuff on the sink. House keeping did change the filter, but that was still a first for me. The heat didn't seem to work well so nights were cold and if we turned it up it just felt humid in the room. The app casting on the TVs didn't work, but we didn't know until we called. So only live TV which wasn't bad.

    If you've never been to NYC or are coming for shows this location is PERFECT! It's a block off times square and two blocks from radio City. Penn station is two stops downtown & the history museum is 2/3 uptown. The C/E train is a block away (feels like less). And for times square and NYC the rooms had SOOOO much room! And it wasn't loud. I slept GREAT. And our room faced the Street. I was in for my anniversary and it was SUPER sweet they did something to acknowledge it.

    I can't think of anything!

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for our stay - a relatively short walk to Central Park, Times Square, and wonderful restaurants. The beds were really comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was STRONG but we all liked it! The happy hour on the roof top was a great value, too. Great small plates to share, decent cocktail selection.

    The room door lock was missing the inside latch to apply travel door lock, and the bathroom door was wilted from the shower no mold but it was not appealing.

    The property was clean, staff was inviting and we felt secure. Barely stayed in or room but the hotel had a nice vibe and in walking distance from everything especially broadway and time square!

    The staff weren’t very pleasant, helpful or friendly. One personal item of ours also went missing from our room, when I asked for help it was as if I was a nuisance to the staff. Property can also be loud at night, but that’s New York! Location is very good, near to subway and lots of attractions but area doesn’t reflect the standard of hotel.

    Beds and room were amazing. Beds so comfortable, lots of storage in the room, bathrooms modern and clean. Lobby area lovely

    The shower head will not move down and the shower curtain is too short to close all the way so the water hits the back of the tub causing water to get all over the floor. Also, there was only 1 roll of to at a time so we had to ask for more. Had to ask for extra washcloths a few times. However, those things were immediately brought to the room when we asked for them.

    Clean, the service was great, location, comfy beds.

    The lifts were very slow and malfunctioning a lot. For a two night stay i must have spent a good hour or two just waiting for lifts. One occasion we were waiting for 20 or 30 minutes.

    Location was perfect room very comfortable. Staff were pleasant and it was good to be able to grab a quick coffee before leaving in the mornings.

    - Lack of explanation as to hotel amenities (gym, laundry, airport transfers etc, the compendium on the TV only had information related to the hotel restaurant) - Coffee sold in the hotel lobby was extremely overpriced

    - Great location (short walk to restaurants, Times Square, Rockefellar Centre, Central Park and other sites) - Modern design and comfortable rooms - Rooftop bar (great views!) and happy hour was an unexpected bonus

    The Kimpton Theta was just as wonderful a stay as the rest of the Kimptons that I've stayed in.

    We actually had a different room when we first arrived that we had to get switched - it was literally the loudest room that I've ever encountered - it was facing construction and near the staff room/elevator, and honestly, I sleep with earplugs and am generally a heavy sleeper, but there was no sleeping through this. With that being said, they switched our room to one away from all of that, no problem, and it was amazing. I think they should just not rent out that first room. This was my only reason for the 9/10.

    I generally try to stay at Kimptons. They're my favorite hotel chain by far, and this one was no different (aside from that first noisy night) - super clean, great location, comfy beds, large rooms, super nice staff - really, I have no complaints.

    Great hotel, except a few problems

    Booked room on "high floor", when arrived at 6PM they said there is no available room on high floor, unless I am waiting minimum 1 hour. I think it's unacceptable since according the hotel I could check in anytime after 4:00PM and they also confirmed my "high floor" booking days ago. If I book a specific room, would be great to have the room I booked. Had to stand in the lobby and wait more than 5 minutes for the elevators because there was an event in the building. After a long day when I arrived to the hotel I was expecting more than the issues above. The body wash what the hotel provided in the bath is very poor quality, smells funny and I got itchy rash from it.

    Great location. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Clean, modern, nice room.
