Grand Prix New York / Spins Bowl Tours and Activities

The room we were in was clean with a nice fridge and hot top. AC blew cold, premium channels and room was cleaned every day, I will definitely visit again, although there is no restaurant food choices are a short distance, the laundry machines work, but people must be considerate with other people's laundry, our laundry was left drying, we had our phones set to return to take them out. Only to find them out the dryer already in a corner on a countertop. With a guest drying their clothes." Absolute foolishness " Earlier in the evening doing our laundry we found other person's clothes drying in the dryers and with respect left them until one was available, a nice couple had finished drying their clothes and we managed to use. The location is minutes away from times square lights and the ball and museums. Great helpful staff, amenities and location

Stayed 4 nights with my teenage son, it was our first trip to NYC. We loved the location, it’s in the middle of all the “Vegas style” action of Times Square. Next trip I think we will choose a more quaint neighborhood since we can say we have been there, done that. We rode the subway a lot and loved that the 42nd street & Penn stations are a really close walk. It was also super convenient coming from Newark airport. The hotel gym is great, we used it everyday. We had breakfast at the restaurant once & it was decent. I appreciated the free bottles of water & coffee in the room, nice touch. The pool for us was a bit crowded with younger kids & felt like a cruise ship pool so we passed on it. There are way too many things to do in Manhattan besides sitting at a hotel pool. My only complaint is the $45 per day “resort fee”, I’m assuming that’s for the pool….? We also liked the rooftop bar, great view. Overall, we had a nice experience at Margaritaville.

My 3 night stay was uneven. I definitely think that installing black out curtains would be a huge improvement for sleeping. Also the hotel has to lower the volume from the elevator ding. You can’t claim that the rooms are soundproof when you can hear the elevators making noise from every room. I also feel like the resort fee is a little bit high for what the hotel is offering. The bathroom is also very small so if you’re a slightly bigger person accessing the toilet can be a challenge as it’s tucked into a narrow space. I would not return here as there are other hotels in the area at this price point with more to offer.
