Terrible experience all around (except)! I booked a standard two double bedroom - room! The room was OK. Very small, uncomfortable beds / pillows. Minimal service.

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! Read less

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.

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!

Hotel was very nice. Staff was attentive. Excellent location for 30 Rock, Theaters, and Times Square, walking distance to many places. Superior King room was adequate but not too spacious (I believe thats a NYC Standard). Stayed on 25th floor, not much noise except for the occasional siren. Would stay there again.
