Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel

- Note: Right in the middle of the busiest part of Times Square, and I love it. Remarkably, despite how busy the area is, the rooms are completely quiet.

- Note: Beautiful hotel in a great location. Great restaurants and the rooms are good. Unfortunately, if anyone uses the bathroom at night, the bathroom lights turn on fully. That was disruptive enough that I would not stay there again.
