La Quinta by Wyndham Time Square South Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to La Quinta by Wyndham Time Square South, you immediately get that “this is actually Manhattan” feeling — you’re right in the thick of it on West 38th Street, with the energy of Hell’s Kitchen buzzing around you. The lobby isn’t trying to be fancy, which honestly works for this three-star spot. It’s clean, efficient, and the staff genuinely seems to know what they’re doing when it comes to helping travelers navigate the city.

Location That Actually Delivers

Here’s the thing about this hotel’s location — it’s one of those rare finds where you’re close enough to Times Square to walk there in minutes, but far enough away that you won’t be dealing with the complete chaos at your doorstep. Hell’s Kitchen has become this amazing neighborhood with incredible restaurants (I mean, there’s a reason all those food shows film here), and you’re literally surrounded by options. The subway access is solid too, which matters when you’re trying to get around the city without spending a fortune on taxis.

The Room Experience

The rooms at La Quinta by Wyndham Time Square South are what I’d call “smart small” — they’ve clearly thought about how to make limited space work for travelers. You’re not getting a sprawling suite, but everything you need is there and well-organized. The beds are actually comfortable, which isn’t always a given in this price range in Manhattan. The bathrooms are compact but functional, and honestly, when you’re spending most of your time exploring the city, having a clean, quiet place to crash is what really matters.

Morning Fuel

The continental breakfast situation is pretty straightforward — nothing revolutionary, but it gets the job done before you head out for the day. You’ve got your standard options like pastries, coffee, and fruit, which is honestly all I need before diving into a full day of city exploration. What I appreciate is that they keep it stocked and fresh, and the coffee is decent enough to actually wake you up for whatever New York adventure you’ve got planned.

Why Guests Love It

The location score of 9.3 really tells the story here — couples especially seem to get it, rating the spot even higher for romantic trips. You can walk to Broadway shows, explore the High Line, hit up amazing restaurants, or just wander through different neighborhoods without feeling like you’re starting from the middle of nowhere. For a three-star hotel in Manhattan, La Quinta by Wyndham Time Square South delivers on the essentials: you’re where you want to be, the rooms are comfortable, and you’re not breaking the bank to stay in the heart of one of the world’s most expensive cities.

  Location, house keeping very very good

• Stefan1717 from Bosnia and Herzegovina (9/10)

  Staff was super friendly, especially front desk and breakfast staff.
  Location was amazing couple steps from Times square and Bryant park. Pretty safe area, lobby door are locked all the time which makes it feel even more safe.
  Rooms are small but you get everything you need and if you are in NYC you are not there to spend time in your room.
  
  Pretty decent breakfast with different options each day.
  Will recommend this hotel!
