    There was nothing about the Casablanca hoteI I didn't like. It *is* right off Times Square so light sleepers might have a problem but it didn't bother me and I loved the buzz of activity.

    The location was exceptional. The staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions I had.

    Was there anything we didn't like?? I don't think so! More electrical outlets in the room would have been nice, but it didn't affect our enjoyment of being at Casablanca.

    We loved the staff, the location, the 24/7 access to drinks and snacks at no charge, the wonderful breakfast and the phenomenal Maria who was there to make sure we had everything we needed, the quietness of the room, the cleanliness of everything, the short distance to the subway, etc. Everything was wonderful, and we can't wait to go back!

    We have stayed at the Cassablanca for probably 12-15 years for our family's annual theatre trip. Before COVID, there was a lovely wine and cheese reception late afternoon, which did not occur during COVID (understandable), but was not continued following. We really miss it. Following breakfast, only a small selection of packaged snacks is available. We loved the former special touches. The facilities are fine, but it's clear no updates have occurred for many years, and the property is looking worn (for example, stained decorative pillows, damaged wicker in the bathroom).

    The staff was outstanding as usual. Location is perfect for theatre goers.

    Quirky property; very helpful staff; pleasant breakfast. The room was ok, very comfortable, but smaller than anticipated, but was the last available. This is a small boutique hotel, so important to book a considerable time before arrival. Plus it is in a popular, extremely noisy area. If catching a show is on your agenda, the hotel position is perfect. It is, however, also within walking distance of Central Park, The Met, and MOMA.

    Wish it was a walk in shower vs tub. Paying a resort fee for a hotel that isn’t a resort nor does it provide resort activities.

    I was in a suite, so it was comfortable. It felt like I was stepping back in time.

    The only tiny criticism I have is that I prefer firmer pillows and ours were on the soft side. It occurs to me however that there may have been an extra pillow in the room closet. Our stay was a busy one so I didn’t properly investigate!

    Location is excellent, all the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, and Rick’s cafe is a delightful little oasis.

    View from room but hey you are in the middle of Manhattan!

    Staff were really friendly and helpful. Room and bed really comfortable with everything you could require provided. The lounge where you could get teas coffee and snacks at any time of day was really appreciated after a day of exploring the city. The hotel was within walking distance of many attractions New York has to offer and proximity to subway made easy access to more distant ones. There are excellent restaurants nearby.

    The ONLY thing that was annoying was constant car horns honking outside made it hard to sleep. Not much they can do about that its NYC

    Loved the location being basically right on times square and within walking distance of our tour, great eateries and sites. 2 doors down from discounted parking that I had no issues with. The Staff..they are So helpful and great. snacks/drinks all day and continental breakfast that were great. Restaurant next door/attached was great. Room clean no odd smells, small table/chairs, bed, small bathroom but plenty big enough for 2 and comfortable
