    The lobby was nice not not a wow. The bathroom is on the smaller side BUT the room is really nice and big.

    I was really looking into options for my recent stay in New York and I loved my choice of Thompson. What I loved - location close to park, room size, and the ability to open windows.

    Both nights we were kept up by loud neighbors--the adjoining doors are paper thin and you can hear every word. You should expect city noise....but not this. I stayed in The Thompson in Houston and it was soooooo nice--this was disappointing in comparison.

    It's in a great location--walking distance to Central Park, Rockefeller Center, tons of shopping and excitement

    All food ordered in the bar and for breakfast was disappointing as it was cool by the time it reached us and was expensive for what it was. If I went back I would have breakfast somewhere else.

    Great location, staff were helpful and friendly, rooms were clean and very comfortable.

    The back side of the hotel is noisy from the exhaust fans of buildings immediately behind and the whirring sound never abates. The room thermostat doesn’t work consistently.

    Location and access to the gym across the street were major pluses

    The only negatives were a lack of storage space, so we left everything in our cases and didn’t unpack, and one window was so drafy it was blowing the blind in!

    The location of the hotel is fantastic and the facilities were great. We had a suite so it was great to have extra space.

    The only downside was that we had an issue with the shower—it was broken when we arrived, and although the engineering team tried to fix it four times, it kept breaking again. Eventually, we gave up and had to manage with a broken shower for three days, which was disappointing.

    The location is unbeatable—right near Central Park, Times Square, and within easy reach of so many iconic landmarks. The staff truly made the experience exceptional with their warmth and attentiveness. The hotel boasts two amazing restaurants, including a famous burger place that’s an absolute must-try. The room was spotless, the service impeccable, and the bed? Oh, the bed was so comfortable that leaving it in the morning was a real struggle—talk about relaxation!

    Very limited breakfast buffet and choices. Lack of vegetables and choices for people with diabetes or a special diate.

    Super welcoming start at check-in, superb location and nice design. Great view to central park from high floors. Loved the two entrances to both streets. Easy to get around.

    We had some issues when we arrived. My family arrived a little earlier than I did, so while waiting for me, they ordered some food immediately after checking in. The Thompson bar/lounge has a decent menu, so my wife and sister-in-law ordered their food while my 9-year-old daughter ordered a simple pasta dish. The adult food came out before the kid's meal came. My wife waited for the kid's meal, but it never arrived after numerous requests. When it finally arrived, it was cold, and, as a result, so was the rest of the meal due to the wait. (My family did not want to eat before the kid's meal arrived). My wife asked the server to speak with the manager and, again, requested it more than once, but they never came. When I showed up and was made aware of this, I complained directly to the front desk. Within minutes, the restaurant manager came and listened to our concerns. She was shocked to hear that when we requested to speak to her from our server, no one attempted to reach her. The hotel automatically comped the meal, so I appreciate that the Upper Management addressed the issue right away when they were made aware of it and did the right thing. I am more disappointed with how the service staff handled the situation by not addressing their supervisors immediately when the issue arose. This disconnect between upper management, who were on the ball with our concerns, and the service staff that seemed to dismiss any misgivings is something to be addressed. Other than this one incident, the rest of the stay was pleasant.

    First, the Thompson is in a great location—within walking distance of Central Park, Broadway and Time Square. The Upper-level staff (Front Desk and Managers) were great. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a good selection of food.
