I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Courtyard by Marriott near Central Park. The hotel’s prime location was its biggest advantage—within minutes, I could walk to Central Park in one direction and Times Square in the other. With subway stations and countless dining options nearby, getting around Manhattan was incredibly convenient.

I booked a King/Queen Room with City View and was placed on a high floor, which offered a nice (though somewhat limited) outlook. Some videos show rooms with multiple windows (almost like a corner suite), but mine had just one. Still, the space was comfortable and clean, with a great coffee machine—a small but appreciated perk. The AC worked perfectly, which was essential given the chilly weather outside.

At over £1,000 for five nights, the price was steep, but given the ideal location and solid amenities, I felt it was worth it for a hassle-free stay in the heart of Manhattan. If you’re looking for a well-located, reliable hotel with easy access to NYC’s top attractions, this is a strong choice.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) – Great for convenience, but pricey.

Would stay here again for the location alone!
