Lotte New York Palace
Always great to come back to the Lotte NY Palace for our annual Veterans Day weekend trip. We’ve stayed here for the last four years and will continue. The hotel is in a great location.

Paramount Times Square – A Generator Hotel
Hotel was super close to Times Square. Lobby was quite the vibe. Construction on 46th st was brutal for first night stay, but hotel staff were super accommodating and switched our room to one that was super quiet. Great location. I would recommend this hotel and I would stay here again.
