Awful stay at the hotel. Another guest claimed they felt catfished by the photos. Issue: Had to change rooms…and for my safety, I had to decide if I wanted to change rooms again or check out early. I decided to check out early. Room 1 - wall was unfinished with pipes exposed next to AC, bed was falling off the frame, no curtain on window for privacy and furniture was in disrepair. After debating for 20 mins I went to the front desk with the situation. They placed me in a new room. Room 2 - This room was “finished” per the front desk. I was exhausted so I retired and went to bed. The next day in the elevator, I was cornered by another guest, which is obviously not the fault of the hotel. However, when I got back to my room, I realized that the dead bolt on my door did not lock properly nor was there a door latch to keep my door from opening. I then realized that there was a giant gap under the door at about half an inch. Which would definitely allow someone to stick a coat hanger under the door and open the handle of my door easily. I decided to pack my things and head to the front desk to check out early. At the front desk, I told them the situation and how I felt unsafe and it took me three times explaining to a female front desk agent about the safety concerns until they understood what I was conveying.

there is no communication between front desk and housekeeping which really inconvenienced my guest experience. 1 - the first room I walked in was dirty so they moved me to another one. 2 - I requested a late check out however housekeeping was relentlessly banging on my door from 11am to get me out. The front desk charged had already charged me for the late check out so I don’t understand how housekeeping wouldn’t see that note. The rooms are okay, could use some love. Overall, frustrated with staff and operations.

We stayed at The Gallivant Times Square from Jan 31st to Feb 6th. The rooms were okay and had everything you’d need for a short stay, but the hotel itself is a bit run down. The lobby is nice, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Housekeeping was sensational — our room was cleaned daily, we received fresh towels every day, and the housekeeping lady we saw a few times was absolutely lovely. She even followed up to ask whether maintenance had fixed the issues we reported, which was really appreciated. Unfortunately, some room issues were never resolved. The safe never worked, the toilet clogged and overflowed twice, and while we were given a TV remote, the TV itself only had one channel. The shower had great water pressure, but water would leak all over the bathroom floor, which could be a slipping hazard. After the second toilet issue, staff did offer to move us to another room, but with only three nights left it felt like more effort than it was worth. Overall, the location is fantastic — less than a 5-minute walk to Times Square and close to subway lines. This is not a 5-star hotel, but for a cheaper stay in an unbeatable location, it did the job.

This may have been the worst hotel ever. The room was very run down, walls need painting, desk chair was filthy and stained, wall lamp above the bed was broken and hanging down. Most of the power outlets didn’t work and the ones that did, you had to prop your device in just the right angle to get any power. No seating, just the beds. Plenty of room for a few chairs or loveseat. No ice machines or vending machines, not even a lobby store to purchase snacks or toiletries. Did not enjoy the experience at all.

Hotel is Terrible I definitely do not recommend staying at this hotel.. I booked a queen suite and got a full bed for me and my partner.. then when you get into the room it’s extremely small and nothing works. Shower was broken, tv didn’t work, the door was also busted in and screwed together etc.. On top of everything else when I checked out it’s been weeks and I have yet to receive my refundable deposit. I’ve been calling them and they just say “ well give you a call back” and haven’t received anything yet. Absolutely terrible, DO NOT STAY‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
