Four Points by Sheraton Midtown – Times Square

Four Points by Sheraton Midtown – Times Square Overview

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first walked up to the Four Points on West 40th – it’s tucked into this busy stretch between Ninth and Tenth Avenue where you’ve got construction crews mixing with theater people and tourists dragging suitcases over cracked sidewalks. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come from places that don’t try too hard to impress you from the outside.

The lobby actually feels like a proper respite from the Hell’s Kitchen chaos, which is saying something because this neighborhood can be… well, let’s just say it keeps you on your toes. What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to get that most guests are here for Times Square (you’re literally a five-minute walk from all that madness) but they don’t treat you like just another tourist checking boxes. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid four-star place – clean, comfortable beds that don’t feel like they’ve been through a thousand guests, and surprisingly good water pressure in the showers. I mean, after walking around Manhattan all day, that’s honestly all I care about. The windows actually open too, which is rarer than you’d think in NYC hotels, though you might want to keep them closed if you’re facing 40th Street – it’s not exactly a quiet residential block.

What really works about this location is that you’re close enough to Times Square to stumble back after a Broadway show, but far enough west that you’re not dealing with the constant stream of Elmo costumes and tourist traps right outside your door. Plus, you’ve got some genuinely good restaurants within a couple blocks – I’m talking about the kind of places where locals actually eat, not just the chain spots that dominate closer to the main tourist drag. The hotel’s restaurant is decent enough for breakfast, but honestly, you’re better off grabbing coffee from one of the bodegas nearby and exploring the neighborhood. Ninth Avenue has some gems if you know where to look. One thing to keep in mind: this area gets pretty lively at night, especially on weekends, so if you’re a light sleeper, maybe request a room facing the interior courtyard. The trade-off is you won’t get much of a view, but you’ll actually sleep. Overall, it’s the kind of place that does what it promises without a lot of fuss – solid rooms, helpful staff, and a location that puts you right in the thick of things without making you feel like you’re staying inside a theme park.
