We stayed here with our two children Oct. 2021. The Time has a great location and the rooms are generally nice and attractive (although oddly there isn't a towel rack for hand towels). We stayed in a suite with a pull-out couch for our kids.
Unfortunately, while we were there, there was only one working elevator. Another person staying there made a comment, making it sound like it had been months with only one working elevator. It made getting in and out tedious and tough at times, especially when it was time to leave.
We had a couple problems that really frustrated us. First, one our daughter has a blanket from when she was a baby that is beloved and special. She had left it on the fold out bed, and only two days into our trip for whatever reason, housekeeping stripped the sheets and took away the blanket. This blanket has made it through Mexico, Spain, and Italy, the but The Time housekeeper managed to lose it on the 2nd day. We realize she shouldn't have left it on the bed, but still, the housekeeper should have been more careful. We kept asking for them to look for it, and the staff said they would, but it didn't seem like anyone took it seriously. Our daughter was heartbroken.
Also, we arranged to check out an hour later (1pm instead of 12pm). They said this was fine, but our keys wouldn't work when we tried to open the room at 12:50pm. We had to wait in line at the front desk (there was always a line - hard to get help). Rodrigio said he would get our suitcases for us, which was really nice, although hard for a family of four that had been in NYC for a week. And again, there was only one working elevator. We don't know what happened, but it took Rodrigo 35 minutes to get our luggage. Our Uber driver was waiting for us (and we had to pay extra), but more importantly, we almost missed our flight. No one at the front desk could locate Rodrigio. He did have all of our stuff, and we appreciated that he tried to help us, but this really stressed us out and created problems with our travel. We would have preferred to get our suitcases ourselves.
It's a cute place with a great location, but really frustrating, and didn't need to be.
