This hotel seems to be trying too hard and also not enough. There is no security- you can just walk in off the street or come down from the public rooftop bar and access bedroom floors without a keycard. I asked the manager about this and he said that they don't want to "grill" their guests. Also, the doors to the hotel rooms have a frosted glass window in them which does not put you at ease given the lack of security.

Other than that, the staff is clueless. I tried to go into one of the hotel restaurants, which was closed because they just opened, and I asked the hostess if there was anywhere else to eat nearby and she said she didn't know of anywhere in the area. For a hotel that boasts themselves as a "Times squ are" hotel, your staff should know at least 1 place to eat outside of your hotel-there are hundreds in the area.

The bathroom does not have an electrical outlet in it, and the hairdryer cord is not long enough to reach any mirror from an outlet.

The hotel is nice for now, but just because it is brand new. Their $99 room offer on the cocktail menu of the rooftop bar suggests that it will quickly become another sleezy, fast trend, spot. It's very strange that Marriott would take this property on.
