Courtyard by Marriott Times Square West

Courtyard by Marriott Times Square West Overview

You know what struck me first about the Courtyard by Marriott Times Square West? It’s actually tucked away on 37th Street in Hell’s Kitchen, which means you get that “I’m totally in the heart of Manhattan” feeling without the absolute chaos of being right on Times Square itself. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from all the Broadway madness, but when you step outside the hotel, you’re on a relatively normal street where you can actually hear yourself think.

The lobby has that modern Marriott vibe – clean lines, lots of glass, the usual business-friendly setup – but honestly, what I appreciated most was how efficiently they handle check-in. The staff actually seems to know what they’re doing, which isn’t always a given in this part of town where hotels can feel like tourist processing centers. The rooms are pretty standard for a 3-star property, nothing fancy but everything works. The beds are comfortable (thank god, because you’ll be doing a lot of walking), and the bathrooms are small but well-designed. One thing though – if you’re on a lower floor facing the street, there’s definitely some city noise, but that’s just Manhattan for you. Ask for a higher floor if you’re a light sleeper.

What really sells this place is the location specifics that you won’t get from other hotels. You’re right in Hell’s Kitchen, which means incredible food options literally everywhere – I’m talking about those hole-in-the-wall places on 9th Avenue that locals actually go to, not just tourist traps. The Port Authority is close enough to be convenient for airport connections but far enough that you don’t deal with that particular brand of chaos. And here’s something most people don’t think about: you’re perfectly positioned for both Midtown West attractions and easy subway access to downtown. The N, Q, R, W, S, 1, 2, 3, and 7 trains are all within a few blocks, which honestly makes getting around the city so much easier than if you were staying in some of the more “prestigious” areas that are actually transit deserts. The hotel doesn’t have a pool or spa or anything fancy like that, but you’ve got Bryant Park, the High Line, and Central Park all easily accessible when you need green space. Plus, if you’re here for shows – and let’s be real, most people staying in this area are – you can walk to most theaters in under ten minutes, which means no crazy cab rides or subway delays when you’re trying to make an 8 PM curtain.

Reviews of Courtyard by Marriott Times Square West

• Albashayr from India (9/10)

  It is located very near to Times Square. Rooms are quite small, but I guess that is the case with most of NY Hotels. I really enjoyed my stay here.

• Elizabeth from Singapore (7/10)

  Great location

• Karin from Maldives (7/10)

  Good location in walking distance to Time's Square etc. Good value if you plan to spend most time outside exploring and not being in the room much. Easy to come for a quick break during the day to drop off things or change as its close to a lot of attractions.

• Daniel from United States (9/10)

  Very close to MSG
  Darwin was incredibly pleasant
  Very clean

• Asaf from Germany (9/10)

  A great hotel. as expected under Marriot brand. the price was amazing to the point i thought it might be an error. big room. good location close to everything.

• Ada from United Arab Emirates (8/10)

  The location was great. Plus points for the laundry room. Staff was helpful and professional.

• Cynthia from United States (8/10)

  I didn’t realize there was a cost for the breakfast food. What I got was not really worth what I paid for it.

• Joan from Spain (9/10)

  The rooms have been renovated recently, they look cleaner and more modern now (wood floor, no rug), but I kinda miss the more classic style. The bed is very comfortable and it's a very convenient hotel in general.

• Silvia from Italy (7/10)

  Location is good for a first time in NY (like in my case). Very central and close to the main city attractions.
  The room exceeded my expectations as the pictures on booking.com are old; the rooms have been renovated and are really really nice! Good size, nice and comfortable bed, modern, clean.

• Hila from Israel (9/10)

  Great stuff
