Candlewood Suites New York City- Times Square byIHGPROVerified business?

The hotel is old, but well maintained. Has great facilities like free laundromat. They also offer free coffee and sometimes provide snacks. Great touch! Check-in was super fast as well

this was my 5th stay in Times Square in the last 10 months. I stayed at a different hotel each time, all depending on price. This was the best value for the money of them all. The rooms are by far the largest and most comfortable. The location is fantastic - close to everything you could need without being in the center of the noise and traffic. There is not a hotel restaurant or rooftop bar or anything, but there are PLENTY nearby to hop into. If those kinds of frills are not needed, this is the perfect place to stay. It has all the other amenities and conveniences you will need.

I just finished my stay at this hotel in a room with a queen bed and kitchenette. I wanted to leave a clear review because I was very skeptical about this hotel before I booked it. Long story short I would recommend. Kitchenette: If you are looking to save money, the kitchenette comes with a microwave, electric stovetop, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, sink, glassware, pots and pans. It was more than enough for my cooking needs and was very clean on arrival. Room and bathroom: The room was a great size, mine came with a queen bed a small desk space. There was a large TV however it was not a smart TV. So we didn’t really end up using it. The bathroom was basic, it was a good size. Came with hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner. All good. Amenities: there was not really much that comes with this hotel as it is pretty standard and a cheaper option. But the staff was very friendly. It did have a gym, which had two benches, weights up to 50 pounds, treadmill, and a stationary bike. In the lobby, there is a small market where you can buy small snacks for purchase from the hotel, there is also free coffee and tea at all hours. Which we definitely took advantage of and the coffee was actually good. Not to mention that most days in the lobby the staff put out free cookies or muffins. Despite what some other reviews said, I noticed that the beds were made every single day. On one occasion, we had spilled food on the sheets and when we returned back that day, we had fresh sheets. So no complaints on the cleanliness. As well on our last day, we were able to check our bags at the hotel for a while, which was very nice. Location: there are so many grocery stores and markets nearby for if you are planning to get a room with a kitchenette. More importantly, it was about 2 to 3 blocks away from the heart of Times Square. While I’m not from New York. I believe the area to be pretty safe. The area is very densely populated, we came back to our hotel as early as 9 o’clock and as late as 1 AM and we had no issues. Overall, if you’re looking for a good budget-friendly hotel this is going to be the one for you. It was nothing special, but it was definitely safe, clean, and we were very happy with our stay.
