RIU for You!

We stayed here over the weekend and had a great time! The Staff are incredibly friendly and focused on customer service. Great location as well! I saw a lot of people commenting on the size of the room. We’re a family of 3 (2 adults/1 teen) and found the size was perfect. The bathroom is spacious. The only complaint we had with the bathroom is that b/c the hotel has a modern look, the shared wall and doors to the bathroom are frosted glass. So basically when showering you can see the shadow of the person in the bathroom. We kept the light off in the bathroom to prevent this (but still awkward ). All in all, definitely a good time. Don’t let the shower be a game changer..just be prepared for it!

Ok standard close to Times Square

The hotel is located comfortably nearby Times Square. The room was clean. It was overcrowded. There were lines to check-in, lifts, breakfast. Food at the breakfast was an all-inclusive standard, nothing to remember well. The room had a glass wall between bathroom and the bedroom, which was not too comfortable for a family stay.

All staff that I interacted with were polite and the hotel lobby is beautiful. I had 2 problems. First was at check in, the agent didn’t know the address for parking. They asked another agent and I was given the wrong address. 2nd booked a room that had 2 double beds and pullout sofa to my surprise the room had a see through glass shower had to shower with the lights offs. Strange choice for a hotel room reccommended for families.
