Truss Hotel Times Square

About Truss Hotel Times Square

Truss Hotel Times Square suits travelers who want a Midtown base without the noise of the Theater District itself. Hell's Kitchen puts you a short walk from Times Square, Penn Station and the subway, so days fill easily and evenings end close to the room. Couples can treat it as a straightforward city base, business travelers gain quick access to Midtown offices, and families get a central address for the major sights. The listed gym and room service help on long days.

The score is the booking supplier's summary of past guests' stays, so treat it as one guide among several. Expect a practical, well-connected address rather than a destination in itself. Guests who want a room close to Times Square and Penn Station, with air conditioning, a gym and room service listed, will find the basics covered.

Rooms and listed facilities

Facilities the supplier lists for Truss Hotel Times Square are air conditioning, a gymnasium, a luggage room and room service. Couples can rely on air conditioning through a hot New York summer and room service after a late show. Families can use the luggage room on arrival day or after checkout, and business travelers get a gym for early mornings. Guests arriving late should confirm room service hours and luggage room access with the property before travel, since times can change. Confirm bed type and room layout directly as well.

The listed facilities at Truss Hotel Times Square are simple and practical rather than elaborate: air conditioning, a gymnasium, a luggage room and room service. Travelers staying two or three nights can leave bags at the desk, work out before meetings, and order food when the evening runs long. Confirm with the property which services operate at the hours you need, and ask about room size, bed configuration and any access needs before booking.

The setting

Truss Hotel Times Square sits in Hell's Kitchen, on the west side of Midtown Manhattan, with the Theater District and Times Square a short walk east. Straight-line distances show the shape of a day: Times Square about 0.5 miles (0.8 km), Penn Station about 0.4 miles (0.7 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.9 miles (1.5 km), Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street about 1.2 miles (2 km), and the 9/11 Memorial about 3.3 miles (5.3 km). The surrounding blocks hold casual places to eat, and the Hudson River waterfront is a walk west.

Location and neighborhood

Hell's Kitchen runs along the west side of Midtown Manhattan, from 34th Street up to 59th Street, with Eighth Avenue on its east edge and the Hudson River on its west. For families, the shape of the neighborhood matters: the streets are a walkable grid, the blocks are short, and a stroller covers most of it without a subway ride. Ninth Avenue forms the everyday spine, lined with casual places to eat, groceries and pharmacies. Truss Hotel Times Square sits inside this grid, close enough to the Theater District for an evening show and far enough west for quieter nights.

The neighborhood is mixed in use: office towers near Eighth Avenue, low apartment blocks toward the river, and small playgrounds tucked between them. The Hudson River Park greenway along the waterfront gives children room to run, with flat paths for scooters and bikes and piers that look across to New Jersey. Restaurant Row on West 46th Street is a short block of pre-theater dining. Evenings bring theater crowds to the eastern blocks; the western streets stay calmer. Truss Hotel Times Square works as a base for that mix, with the river at one end and the Theater District at the other.

Getting there and around

Hell's Kitchen is easy to move through. The subway runs 24 hours, and several lines cross the neighborhood, with stations along Eighth Avenue and Broadway; tap a contactless card or phone to pay, and check the weekly cap with the transit authority. Truss Hotel Times Square is around 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from the area center, around 0.9 miles (1.5 km) from Penn Station, and around 14 miles (22.3 km) from JFK and Newark Liberty by road, typically 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and connections. Walking covers most of it. The avenues carry faster traffic; the side streets are quieter and easier with children.

Nearby sights and food

A short walk east, the Theater District holds around 40 Broadway houses, with evening curtains typically at 7 or 8 pm; check the show. The Museum of Modern Art sits on West 53rd Street, and Grand Central Terminal is a few blocks further east, worth a look for its main concourse. West on the waterfront, the Intrepid Museum fills a pier with aircraft and a submarine. Hudson Yards and the Vessel are a walk south along the river, and the observation decks at Hudson Yards and Rockefeller Center give children a high view; book timed tickets ahead.

Eating out here works well with children: the pace is quick and most places take a casual crowd. Ninth Avenue is the everyday strip, with pizza by the slice, burgers, Thai, Mexican, ramen, falafel and bakeries, much of it counter service. Restaurant Row on West 46th Street runs a block of sit-down places that fill before curtains, so an early table is easier with children. Tenth Avenue and the side streets add diners, delis and ice cream. Groceries and pharmacies along Ninth Avenue cover picnics for the river or a snack back at Truss Hotel Times Square.

A day from Truss Hotel Times Square

Start with a walk west to the Hudson River Park greenway, where children can run before the day fills up. Head east on foot to the Intrepid Museum on the pier and give it the late morning; the flight decks reward a slow look. Lunch on Ninth Avenue, then a quieter afternoon: the Museum of Modern Art on West 53rd Street, or the main concourse at Grand Central Terminal if the weather turns. Back toward Truss Hotel Times Square for a rest, then an early dinner near Restaurant Row. A 7 or 8 pm Broadway curtain ends the day; check the show and book ahead.
