Positives: Staff was friendly, great location and clean
Negatives: Room was small (as expected), furnishings are dated
The key card was intermittent sometimes had to try several times to open the door, and the internet was difficult to get on to. But the staff were excellent, and the breakfast was superior. Cleanliness was good but once they finished our room while we were at supper. But it was done every day and done well.
Good clean every day I loved that, friendly staff, only The shower had problems, the water from the shower came out to the outside of the bathroom even with the shower doors closed.

A good hotel in a great location, so many landmarks are within walking distance. The staff here are so friendly and it is also very clean.
Sadly, the whole place needs some TLC as it's a little dated and bashed now, but overlook this and it's a good base for the city. The only real negative is that it's not very soundproof so we could hear lots of external noise as it's on quite a busy street (luckily I travel with earplugs so it wasn't too much if an issue).
Special shout-out to the happy chap who kept the breakfast room clean and tidy, he was always a bright start to our day!
Excellent location. Could walk to most attractions. Room and bathroom a bit small but clean. Room was cleaned daily. We enjoyed the breakfast very much. We also enjoyed the free tea/coffee service.
After checkin instead of the balance the full amount was charged to my card (though we had paid a deposit). Thankfully the bank called to verify. When I asked the person who was at the reception he denied and what he said did not make sense. He could not get the balance breakdown correct. Think he was confused as we were paying half in card and rest in cash. But he made it like we can’t get the calculation correct. Don’t think he actually understood. Anyway we didn’t think too much of it. Overall we had a good stay.
We have no complaints - enjoyed our stay here very much and it is affordable compared to almost every other midtown Manhattan hotel. NOTE - there is another Holiday Inn Express Times Square-North, which I think has not gotten very good reviews. This was the Times Square-South hotel we stayed at.
