The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express - Times Square By IHG

Midtown Convenience Just Minutes from the Music

Modern and smartly designed, the Holiday Inn Express - Times Square puts you right in the heart of Manhattan’s buzzing entertainment district. Located just a 10-minute stroll from Times Square and the Broadway theater scene, this hotel is ideal for concert-goers who want to be close to the action without the chaos.
Contemporary rooms include free Wi-Fi, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and coffee makers, making it easy to recharge before or after the show. Plus, you'll enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet every morning—perfect fuel after a late night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Fans love the easy access to major venues like Madison Square Garden and Broadway theaters—each just a 10-minute walk. The hotel’s location means you can skip the late-night subway or ride-share scramble. Rooms are reasonably quiet for Midtown, and the 4 PM check-in and 11 AM checkout make it easy to plan around your show schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show and wanting to stay central
  • Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list concert moment
  • Couples making a weekend getaway around a live performance
  • Fans who want a peaceful recovery spot post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want great value in Midtown

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant, the complimentary breakfast buffet offers a solid start—especially if you were out late. Coffee makers in every room help with early mornings, and you're surrounded by walkable dining options from fast bites to late-night eats. No 24/7 room service, but nearby spots stay open well into the night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, you’re just blocks from Times Square, where you'll find rooftop lounges, craft cocktail spots, and lively pubs. Whether you're looking for a nightcap or an afterparty, it’s all within walking distance.

What People Say

Guests love the central location, especially for easy access to concerts and Broadway shows. Reviewers highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent value. The complimentary breakfast is frequently praised, and many mention how surprisingly quiet the rooms are despite the busy Midtown location.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side—typical for Manhattan—but well laid-out. Elevators can be slow during peak times, especially after shows let out. No on-site bar or restaurant, but that’s a small trade-off given the endless options nearby.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show in Midtown Manhattan and want a clean, comfortable, and affordable base near the action, the Holiday Inn Express - Times Square is a top pick.

Terrible experience for first time...

Liked: Location was close to places I wanted to visit
Disliked: Room was either ice cold or Sahara hot, bathtub didn’t drain while showering so I stood in 2 feet of water, beds were broke and hard as rock, metal poking through, ice machines didn’t work, only 2 elevators for 32 floors, breakfast was cold, hard and unappetizing, fruit was bad, juices and lemonade were watered down and bitter. Staff was no help and didn’t seem interested.

From the moment I arrived, Touria welcomed me with genuine warmth and professionalism that immediately made me feel at ease.She was incredibly helpful, always ready to assist with a friendly smile, whether it was providing local recommendations or ensuring a smooth check-in process. Her attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction truly stood out and made a significant difference in my overall experience.Touria is a true asset to the Holiday Inn team, and I sincerely appreciate the care and dedication she brings to her role. I would highly recommend this hotel, in no small part due to the excellent service provided by people like her.

It was convenient due to...

Liked: Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was reasonable
Disliked: Elevator waiting time was very long. I noticed during the stay that the bathtub was not cleaned properly and woke up with insect bites. Had to be moved to another room so came down from the 20th floor to the 8th floor. The level of noise significantly increased as a result which made it vey hard for me to get any sleep during the last two nightsI was told there was a deposit of $112 on the booking that will be refunded but that has not happened
