Element New York Times Square West

Worst hotel I’ve stayed at in a long time

Only thing to like is the location. Breakfast is good too ... but severely overcrowded and elevators almost unusable during breakfast rush.

Dirty room. Food smells from the street permeated my room. For two straight days all I smelled was fried food from somewhere. Never quite figured it out. The elevator buttons were not working ibny floor. So I had to go downstairs one flight to call for the extremely slow elevator. I was told by housekeeping that the elevator had not worked for a month... this surprised me since as an Marriott / SPG loyalty member at the highest tier... why would they give me a dirty and smelly room on a floor where you can’t take the elevator? Never going back to this property. Thought I would give this brand a try ...but learned my lesson.

Good size room with great view

Not far from subway 5 min walk to Times Sq

The lifts are a disgrace . We were on the 39 th floor the lift would come to 38 and go back down , when they did come they would stop on every floor on the way down when no one there. One lift had a fire and we were stuck on 39 for 45 mins ... NOT GOOD ENOUGH ..
