With Manhattan’s all-singing, all-dancing Theater District literally on its doorstep, Hampton Inn Times Square Central is perfectly placed for bright lights and city sights. Shops, dining, shows, iconic buildings: it’s all on hand, with the two block stretch of eateries known as Restaurant Row just six minutes’ stroll away. If you’d rather eat back at base, the hotel’s convenience store has snacks, drinks and pre-packed meals. There’s no unnecessary fuss or frills here, but there are plenty of freebies: there’s the free hot breakfasts each morning, with classics like waffles; there’s the free WiFi; there’s the free tea and coffee on tap, day and night, in the lobby; and there’s the free in-room movie channel, for any nights you can’t get Broadway tickets.

We traveled to NYC to celebrate my daughter’s 10th birthday, and our stay at the Hampton Inn was a pleasant experience. As expected from any Hampton Inn, the hotel offered the familiar amenities and comfort, but what made it special was its prime location in the heart of Manhattan. We stayed in room 1805, which had a fantastic view of The Edge. It was 4 of us in the room. 2 adults 2 children age 10.
The room was a bit smaller than the typical Hampton Inns we’ve stayed at, but it was still functional and met our needs for the trip. It was walking distance to Times Square, which made it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and exploring.
If you’re looking for a more luxurious Hilton experience, there’s a Hilton hotel just across the street, right on Times Square, offering a more upscale experience. But for the value and location, this Hampton Inn worked perfectly for our family.

Gold treatment

The rooms were comfortable and suited my preferences, though I missed having a mini fridge—perhaps it was unique to my room. A highlight of my stay was meeting Lynn and Mark in the lobby; their friendly demeanor and expert advice helped me seamlessly plan my next leisure trip to New York City. Their hospitality made up for any minor inconveniences!
Great Experience

I used points to boot the room and felt that I got a really good value for the points. My children and I stayed for the long weekend and felt safe, welcomed, and comfortable during our stay. Higher floors are quieter. We stayed in room 2105 and had a view of the Edge. Breakfast was busy but not unbearable. We enjoyed the food. Not 5 star but hot and free.
The front hotel doors remained key in which added to the safety.
Front desk staff were always welcoming and helpful.
Great walkable location. Very pleased with our stay.

Amazing Experience Near Times Square!
Nov 6, 2024Cammie C
The management and staff were so on top of things, kind, and helpful beyond expectation! When we told Isaiah that we were Hilton Honors members, he gave us a personalized experience and helped us lock down rates for our next vacation. Not to mention, the room was perfect and the view from the roof is amazing! Such a great experience in NYC!
