Rating 10 - Excellent. 2367 out of 3699 reviews" "
Very stingy hotel. There were no Water bottles in the room, front desk was very rude about it. Advised her its a 4 star hotel, charging 5 star prices, the least the could have was water in the room. I’ve stayed at different riu’s before, this one was by far the poorest decision
Very nice property, excellent staff from check in to room cleaning, complimentary breakfastwas outstanding...I will book next stay at the RIU Time Square!!!
The staff was great at the hotel. Super helpful and friendly. Room could use upgrades on bathroom. Caulking in shower coming undone, shower pan old and stained. My mom's name was not listed on the hotel reservation, as I requested through Expedia. Making it difficult for her to check in.
The Riu Hotel lobby is decorated with stylish, modern design and many seating areas. Rooms are well lit and clean. They are right-sized for a European traveler, but Americans might find them snug. The name of the hotel is veru similar to the other Riu hotel in the neighborhood, so make sure you have the right one. Neighborhood is perfect for seeing theater.
Absolutely spotless and a beautiful hotel. Only wish there was a coffee bar in the early morning to have coffee in rooms.
Breakfast buffet was the best.
Very satisfied and would highly recommend if you could have coffee in rooms.
The Riu Plaza hotel, near Times Square, was the perfect spot for our quick trip to the city. Short walks to several theaters, Times Square and Central Park.
