Best Manhattan Marriott?

Thanks, again, for the replies and suggestions.  I certainly have my work cut out for me over the next couple of months.  I’ll let you know what I decide. 😁

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and tips!  We are planning to stay at JW Marriott Essex House.  I think we really just wanted something more quiet than Times Square.  Things may change in the next 11 months, but at least we are holding a room.  I love all the help I get on CC.  😊

I'm not sure that's really a quiet area.  Yes, more quiet than Times Square, but it's right on Central Park South, where all the horse carriages pick up tours, and it's a very busy 2 way street.

 

Great hotel, but not quiet

Nitemare,   by quiet do we mean quiet inside hotel or quiet not a lot going on around hotel?  I would not think it is quiet on the streets of NY no matter where you stay.

Compared to Times Square it's a quieter area, but it's not as much quieter as the UWS or TriBeCa (where we stay) is.

 

If the concern is traffic, noise, and crowds, the Central Park South area where the Essex House is located, is still pretty busy

Thanks for your feedback

Essex House is in a good location. Central Park South one of the toniest addresses. 

 

Also some properties that classify themselves as “Times Square” really isn’t in TS but a quieter side street.
