voco Times Square South, an IHG Hotel: NYC

The location puts Broadway theatres and Penn Station subways within walking distance, sitting just outside the immediate Times Square hub. While the rooms are compact, they maximize utility with smart storage space and abundant outlets. Daily upkeep keeps the spaces clean, replenishing coffee and high-quality bath products. A standard daily fee applies, but it converts into a credit for the restaurant, coffee bar, or snack area. The main friction comes from slow elevators, though a helpful concierge who can arrange airport transfers helps ease the stay.
