When did Hampton Inn lobbies start looking like West Elm showrooms? The lobby décor at the 300-room Hampton Inn Times Square is surprisingly contemporary for a midrange chain hotel. Happily, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
We were impressed not just with the high level of design in the lobby and in rooms, but also general room design, various perks, the friendly management, and room size, at 300 square feet per room. We have to admit that we were impressed all around.
Rooms are done in a restrained palette of browns, whites, and reds. Beds feature big thick duvets and tables with plenty of work space. There are also flat-panel televisions and soundproofed windows (the latter a necessity here). Bathrooms are wallpapered, with marble countertops, massive mirrors, framed artwork, and smart shower units.
A hot buffet breakfast is included in the nightly rate. Wireless Internet is free throughout the hotel. There are also free Internet kiosks with complimentary printing on offer. The Hampton's location in Midtown West is a perfect base for seeing Broadway shows and sampling the culinary delights of Hell's Kitchen.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Hampton Inn Times Square neighborhood
Midtown West is chockablock with tourists sights, so it comes as no surprise that it's also chockablock with tourist-class hotels. Working west from Fifth Avenue to Hell's Kitchen and stretching north from 37th Street up to Central Park, Midtown West is home to the Theater District, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, and the Museum of Modern Art. Whew! And then there's Times Square—an entity within itself. Though most New Yorkers steer clear of this congested area, the neon lights, larger-than-life billboards, and wise-talking street vendors keep the visitors coming. And coming. And coming.
Though not the most picturesque portion of the city—tall, uninspired office buildings form the bulk of the architecture—Midtown West does have its pleasant parts. The awe-inspiring New York Public Library and adjacent Bryant Park are two excellent places to find some respite. Plus, Midtown West certainly offers visitors convenience. Just about every train line is in walking distance, should you ever decide to venture beyond its borders, and the Port Authority Bus Terminal can get you to and from all the major airports, as well as other parts of the region.
