The Riu Plaza New York Times Square enjoys a fantastic location, steps away from Times Square, making it ideal for exploring the city. Guests often highlight the spotless and modern rooms, some offering superb views from higher floors, such as the 27th.

average stay with some ISSUES

overcrowded breakfast arealate room cleaning
the breakfast area was overcrowded. it felt more like a cafeteria than a restaurant. the arrangement of tables made it difficult to move around, especially during peak hours. also, my room was not cleaned by 5 pm on two separate days during my five-night stay.
