My stay at The Mayfair Hotel Times Square had its ups and downs. While the location was fantastic for exploring the Theatre District and the room, though small, was comfortable and quiet, I did encounter some cleanliness issues that dampened the experience. Overall, for the price, it was a decent choice, but some renovations and better housekeeping could make a big difference.

The room I stayed in was cozy and appeared recently renovated, but it was on the smaller side. The bed was comfortable, which made for a good night's sleep, and the shower was both spacious and hot. However, I did notice some room for improvement regarding cleanliness, as I found some areas needing more attention.

The hotel has some charming historical features, but it could use a bit of modernization. While I enjoyed the unique character of the hotel, I did notice that some aspects, like the elevators and bathroom facilities, could use some upgrades for a smoother experience.

My stay at The Mayfair Hotel Times Square had its ups and downs. While I appreciated the prime location just a stone's throw away from Times Square and Broadway, I found my room to be quite cramped, making it challenging to move around freely. The dated decor could use some freshening up, but I must say, the cleanliness of the hotel and the friendly staff were definite pluses, contributing positively to my experience.

The Mayfair Hotel Times Square was a pleasant stay overall. Its prime location just a block off Broadway and Times Square made it a great choice for exploring the city. The rooms were small and somewhat dated, but they were clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. I did miss having a coffee maker in the room, but the complimentary coffee in the lobby was a nice touch. I'd return again for the value and location.

My stay at The Mayfair Hotel Times Square was a mix of highs and lows. The location couldn't be more perfect, just steps from Times Square and great nearby restaurants. However, I found the room to be quite cramped and lacking essential amenities, like coffee-making facilities. Overall, it served its purpose for a short trip, but there are significant areas that need improvement.

The room was very small, which is typical for New York City, yet it felt particularly cramped with limited walking space. I had to shimmy around furniture, and the bed seemed too small for comfort, making it difficult to move about freely.

While I enjoyed the nearby dining options, I would have loved to have breakfast available at the hotel. The presence of a restaurant next door could definitely offer that, as it would have enhanced the overall convenience during my stay.

The hotel could benefit from some updates. There were no coffee-making facilities in the room, and I also noticed that the public areas needed maintenance, particularly the worn carpet on the staircase.

I found the Mayfair Hotel Times Square to be centrally located, making it easy to explore nearby attractions, but the overall experience was somewhat disappointing. The hotel's charm is overshadowed by its dated décor and some cleanliness issues. On the plus side, I appreciated the friendly staff and the hot water in the shower, but the lack of heating in the room and uncomfortable bedding were significant downsides.

My room was cramped and cold with inadequate heating, old décor, and a bed that wasn’t very supportive. I struggled with the limited space and had to keep my luggage on the floor. The en-suite bathroom, though clean, couldn’t make up for the overall discomfort.
