Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square

8/10 Good

"Location is great, the hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. The hotel only gave me 2 days notice that there were renovations going on during our stay which took away the hotel restaurant etc… they clearly knew this was planned prior to us booking and only waited until 2 days prior to check in to avoid us cancelling the hotel. Very poor especially as we paid a full price for for a hotel under construction"
