Thanks for the picture review! Do you have any of the brekkie/reception section?
Besides the views, how was the stay & what other details can you provide?
Cheers.

Pros:
View
Great Location
Staff was prompt and expedient at check in
Price
Clean and well kept rooms
Cons:
Staff seemed hurried and disinterested when i asked for advice on where to go eat
Staff seems to be a little confused when questions are asked about what room give you what view and etc, I called the hotel a couple of times before my visit to seek clarification on what exactly what each room view entails(confusing on the Marriott Page, reservations was confused and so was the front desk staff haha)
I did not eat or use any other facilities at the hotel, I was more interested in NYC
Stay Rating:
9/10
I'm hoping my picture review can help people in regards to what view they need to choose and if you have any questions, please let me know!
Cheers!

I notice there's a tub in the room, but I've seen pictures in other reviews showing a glass doored shower. Did the room have both or does it depend on the room whether you get a bath or a shower?

How much of a kitchen is in the unit? Also, the pictures didn't look like the typical RI suite with a sitting area (studio suite) or a real living room (one bedroom units).

Very very little kitchen area, but enough for NYC standards, I would think I did not have a sitting area or real living room, correct.

A very belated thanks for the photos and comments! I'm thinking of staying there with my wife next month, so these come in very handy.

Bumping this thread up as there does not appear to be a master thread for the property.
Does anyone know what the difference is between a "Grand Times Square View Studio" vs a Regular "Times Square View Studio?"
I think the -05 rooms are the corner rooms with good Times Square views. Would those be the "Grand?"

Apologies for the bump if I missed a master thread. I didn't see one. I have been unable to find this hotel available for any nights using points. Has anyone else had any luck?

I have 6 nights booked on points for May, so I went and made a dummy booking and they are still available. Then checked some random dates into the future and there was availability (not sure what exact dates you need).
Are you sure you're checking the "Use Points" box?
