The hotel is situated conveniently near Times Square, making it easy to explore the city's attractions. The rooms are basic but clean, though I encountered a few maintenance issues during my stay. While the service was friendly, there were times when responsiveness was lacking. The dining options weren't great, and I found the breakfast pricing to be steep for what was offered.

The Gallivant hotel is perfectly located just a stone's throw from Times Square, making it a convenient base for exploring the city. The staff clearly aim to help, and the rooms are quite clean with comfy beds. Unfortunately, the elevator situation and some maintenance issues, like noisy AC units and lack of hot water, can really detract from the overall experience. Dining options could use improvement as well, so be prepared to explore local restaurants for better meals.

Rooms
6.0
The room was a bit small, felt overly warm due to pipes beneath the floor, and lacked a fridge and hairdryer, which would have been helpful.
Service
5.0
Service was hit or miss; some staff were polite and helpful, but there were instances of dismissiveness in handling issues.
