Riu Plaza Manhattan Times Square occupies an unassuming spot in Manhattan, the kind of address you only find by recommendation or by a careful read of guest reviews. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel well-appointed; the touches travellers mention most are reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant, and the comfort feedback has been consistently flattering. Pull the review pages apart and you find well over 9,700 reviews, with a strong consensus that's hard to engineer. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €313 a night, which lands as a middle-of-the-road option for the city. Stack Riu Plaza Manhattan Times Square against the better-known names in New York and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
