Which Hotel is better for first timer?

Hi,

I just wanted to ask Your opinion New Yorkers or the once who have experienced these hotels because I%26#39;m a first timer and really need help to choose hotel to squeeze in all of my activities here.

So which hotel is better for overall (value, location, room, amenities, etc)? Hilton Garden Inn Times Square or Comfort Inn Manhattan?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

Which Hotel is better for first timer?

They%26#39;re both good budget hotels. I think Hilton Garden Inn is a bit nicer with bigger rooms. Either is a good option and they%26#39;re not that far apart from each other.

Something to consider... every room at the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square comes with a microwave, mini-refrigerator %26amp; coffee maker. Those are not standard amenities at the Comfort Inn Manhattan; although you can request a microwave and mini-fridge, there apparently will be an additional charge and may not be available to you if other guests have already claimed them.

Also, you%26#39;ll have a somewhat better variety of restaurants in ';Hell%26#39;s Kitchen';, the immediate environs of the HGI, than right by that Comfort Inn in the Garment District.

Thank You Very Much for the immediate replies!

By the way HGI compared to Comfort Suites Times Square which is better? Do you think taking Comfort Suites Times Sq. with the comp. b%26#39;fast is worth taking?

Thank You Very Much Once Again!

You know, I mistaked the Comfort Inn you were asking about. I thought you were asking about the Comfort Inn Midtown. NEITHER the Comfort Inn Manhattan nor the Comfort Inn Times Square (which is not really near Times Square) are,as good a location as the Hilton Garden Inn---IMO. I believe the Hilton Garden Inn TS also offers a free cont. breakfast.

We always stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square.

It is a great hotel and you can%26#39;t beat the location for shows, subway, restaurants etc. They have a

great restaurant that serves a delicious breakfast (which you pay for). However, they do not have a

complimentary continential breakfasts. We were

just there two weeks ago.

We love the Ramada Plaza New Yorker Hotel, espcially on our first visit. It has gone under a grand renovation and the rooms are very nice, especially the tower rooms. It%26#39;s at 8th and 34th and very central.

I%26#39;ve just checked out the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square and it doesn%26#39;t mention anything at all about a complimentary continental breakfast. All I can see is free tea/coffee service. Can anyone else throw any light on whether the free cont. breakfast service still exists?

In my opinion I wouldn%26#39;t pick a hotel based on a free breakfast. I%26#39;ve found the free breakfast deals more trouble than they are worth. The scramble to get in line and jockey around other tired tourists for some bagels to me just isn%26#39;t the way I like to start my day.

While I haven%26#39;t stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn it seems to get great reviews.

I%26#39;m sure there are plenty of affordable, more relaxing breakfast options near the Hilton.

Good luck with your search.
