Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan/Central Park

Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan/Central Park Overview

First Impressions

Walking into the Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan/Central Park, you immediately notice this isn’t your typical cramped Manhattan hotel room situation. The lobby feels surprisingly spacious for Midtown, and honestly, the staff actually seems happy to see you — which, let me tell you, isn’t always a given in this city. This four-star property sits right on Broadway, and you can feel the energy of Times Square without being completely overwhelmed by it. The whole place has this extended-stay vibe that works perfectly whether you’re here for three days or three weeks.

Location That Actually Makes Sense

Here’s the thing about 1717 Broadway — you’re basically in the sweet spot of Manhattan. Central Park is literally a few blocks north, which means morning jogs or evening strolls are totally doable without taking the subway anywhere. Times Square is close enough that you can walk to shows, but far enough that you won’t hear street performers at 2 AM. I mean, couples consistently rate this location a 9.5, and after staying here, I get why. You can walk to Columbus Circle, hit up the shops at Time Warner Center, or just wander into the Theater District. Plus, having private parking in Manhattan? That’s practically unheard of.

The Suite Life

What sets this place apart is that you’re getting actual suites, not just hotel rooms with delusions of grandeur. Each unit comes with a full kitchen — and I’m talking real appliances, not just a mini-fridge and hope. The separate living area means you can actually spread out, work on your laptop, or just collapse on the couch after walking 20,000 steps around the city. The beds here are genuinely comfortable too, which matters more than you’d think when you’re doing the full tourist thing all day. Storage space is abundant, so you won’t be living out of your suitcase for your entire stay.

Practical Perks

The American breakfast here is solid — nothing fancy, but it gets the job done before you head out to explore. What I really appreciate is that they understand business travelers and families need different things. There’s a fitness center that’s actually usable, not just a treadmill shoved in a closet somewhere. The kitchenette means you can grab groceries and save some money on meals, which honestly adds up fast in New York. Wi-Fi works reliably throughout the building, and the business center is there when you need to print boarding passes or handle work stuff.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

You know what makes the Residence Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan/Central Park work so well? It’s the combination of space, location, and that extended-stay flexibility that most Manhattan hotels just can’t offer. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend — hence those high couple ratings — or a longer business trip, you’re not feeling cramped or constantly eating out because you have no choice. The location score of 9.6 isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s because you can actually walk to most places you want to go, and when you can’t, transportation options are everywhere. It’s the kind of place that makes a New York trip feel manageable rather than exhausting.

Locals suggest to book apartments in New York around Williamsburg for river sunsets, vinyl shops, and craft breweries.

• Julia from Canada (7/10)

  Loved the location and the breakfast choices were very good.

• Aivis from Ireland (8/10)

  Location is excellent. Couple of blocks to Central Park and all the other points of interest are a few minutes away by foot. Famous NY subway is near as well. View from the room is great. The higher you are the better it gets. We were on the 39th floor- view was nice but I wish we were higher. Breakfast selection was good for our needs although a little repetitive.A room we were in was quiet when aircon was switched off. I am guessing that in the summer months it is very hot in the room which is small and hard to sleep at night due to air conditioning noises. For us in mid November temperatures and noise levels were comfortable. The staff we interacted with were very nice and polite. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if we found a great deal.

• Marc from United States (9/10)
