Great hotel and location… but, resort fees

Good stay and happy with everything - the ‘resort fee’ was a surprise at check-in, adding around $50 per day stayed to the pre-paid hotel room we’d booked.

Good stay and happy with everything - the ‘resort fee’ was a surprise at check-in, adding around $50 per day stayed to the pre-paid hotel room we’d booked. Not particularly sure what additional benefits we got for $250 extra for the time we stayed - and so, if I had known about this would probably have selected somewhere else when booking with Expedia - or at least added this to what I knew I was going to pay - and it would be the only thing discouraging me from returning in the future as everything else was very good.

Terrible experience all around (except)! I booked a standard two double bedroom - room! The room was OK. Very small, uncomfortable beds / pillows. Minimal service. I usually stay at the Hyatt Centric (Time Square) every three months - phenomenal hotel! I booked well in advance at the Hard Rock (only because my boy wanted to try it) and paid $815.85 +++ / night from December 16th - 20th. I felt that was an extreme as I've stayed at the Centric for much less for a better room / view. Once I checked in, I inquired on their site and noticed my same room was in the $400 range. They stated "Kindly note our average rates are dynamic and will vary depending on the market, nights of stay and room type" I've never had this experience with the Hyatt Centric! If anything, choose alternatives, like the Hyatt Centric! Honest review!

Merry Christmas

Milton was the highlight of our first breakfast in New York. He was engaging, full of the festive spirit and just a genuinely nice guy. Breakfast was fresh and delicious too. The hotel is simply beautiful, especially all the Christmas decorations.
Excellent Service

Our server, Julia, was fantastic! She was very pleasant and friendly, took our long order from memory, and delivered an overall enjoyable experience! Her fellow staff was also notably attentive as our coffee and water was consistently refilled and our plates cleared promptly. Thank you, Julia and team!
Pre Christmas visit to New York.

Excellent hotel, excellent staff, excellent facilities and excellent location.
Overall a pleasant, extremely comfortable and friendly hotel about 100 metres from the buzzing of times square, also about 10 minutes walk from the Rockefeller centre and 5th ave, 20 minutes to the empire state building and the summit.
Excellent transport all around…
