The room had a king size bed, had some storage for my clothes, and loved the decor. The room is smaller than I was used to from other tris to NYC, but it was great for me. I like the view. It was a block and a half from Times Square. Great location to walk to shows or food.

Loved my stay at Civilian hotel! Great area to be in. Times Square is close if that’s your thing or just head over to Hell’s Kitchen if it’s not. The hotel itself was very nice and clean. I loved the vibe of the room and would absolutely stay here again!

as far as location. You’re definitely in walking distance to everything which is why I chose the hotel but the side street that it’s on was pretty dirty a lot of trash kind of dark didn’t feel overly safe at night walking down could use better lighting

Could be better…
Location is perfect. If you choose the smallest room, it is really small. There is no closet, no drawers. No space at all. But we managed. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom small but functional. Points go down as there is no room cleaning service and, if your towels get wet because the shower is open, well… no one will bring you any towels, no matter how many times you request them. The Hotel restaurant is great. For this reasons, we chose a different Hotel for our next visit.

Good out ways the bad
Over all it was a great stay. Only complaint is the rooftop is closed on Sundays. They told us bar was open till 12am. When we arrived at 11pm they told us they were closing when bar was still busy. Hostess asked the bartender if we can be served he said only beer and wine. We wanted a cocktail they advertised on the website. Definitely a bummer but we were pleased with everything else :)

If you're looking for a quiet place to sleep don't expect to get much here. The rooftop patio has a DJ that goes until 2 am and can be heard on the upper floors as low down as the 15th floor. We asked to be moved from the 25th floor and could still hear the boom boom boom sound of the music on the 15th. Staff were very accommodating and gave us free breakfast for the rest of our stay though, which was just ok and should be included anyhow for the price you pay for this hotel. Even if you wanted to go to the rooftop it's next to impossible as it's reserved and has a huge cover charge. Other than that, it's clean and convenient.
