Midweek Hotel Deals: Why Weekday Stays Are the Smart Way to Travel

Discover the Secret to a Smarter NYC Stay

New York may be the city that never sleeps, but savvy travelers know there's a calmer side hiding in plain sight. While weekends bring crowds and chaos, midweek stays offer a different kind of energy, slower mornings, shorter lines, and more space to breathe.

At Margaritaville Resort Times Square, that midweek magic comes with a tropical twist. Picture yourself sipping a frozen margarita at the rooftop pool while the rest of the city rushes to meetings. From remote workers to staycationers, this is your permission to check in, chill out, and enjoy NYC without the hustle.

Whether you're planning a Wednesday escape or a quick Thursday-Friday recharge, Margaritaville Resort Times Square offers the perfect blend of city excitement and laid-back comfort, right in the heart of Times Square.

Why Midweek Stays in Times Square Make Sense

Shorter Waits, Smaller Crowds

Midweek in Manhattan is a whole different story. The lines are shorter, reservations are easier, and the sidewalks move just a little slower. Want a table at that buzzy new restaurant? A Wednesday night's your best bet. Prefer quiet galleries at MoMA or a peaceful walk through Bryant Park? Skip the weekend rush and go midweek. The same city, just with more breathing room.

Work + Play, Perfectly Balanced

For remote workers and digital nomads, weekdays at Margaritaville Resort Times Square are where bleisure travel hits its stride. Set up shop in your suite, take video calls with a skyline backdrop, and then close the laptop for a poolside unwind. With reliable Wi-Fi, comfortable seating areas, and multiple bars and lounges for post-work wind-downs, you can actually get work done, without missing out on the fun.

Explore the resort's Work From Paradise package, which caters to flexible travelers who want to mix business with a little escape. Because let's face it: your lunch break deserves better than the kitchen counter.

Smart Staycationing

Midweek stays aren't just for out-of-towners. New Yorkers looking for a reset can tap into a weekday escape without the stress of travel. Use less PTO, dodge weekend surcharges, and treat yourself to a getaway that doesn't involve packing up the car or catching a flight. Margaritaville's “resort-in-the-city” vibe makes even a one-night stay feel like a break from reality.

Why Margaritaville Resort Times Square is Ideal for a Weekday Stay

Resort Perks Worth Booking Midweek

Think of Margaritaville Resort Times Square as your weekday oasis. The rooftop pool resort, an NYC rarity, is significantly calmer midweek, meaning more space, less noise, and better access to prime poolside loungers (or private cabanas if you're going all-in). Order tropical bites and beachy cocktails from LandShark Bar & Grill without ever leaving your seat. This is your midweek moment to exhale.

Dining options also shine during the week. Whether you want casual cocktails at License to Chill, skyline views and live music at 5 o'Clock Somewhere, or a sit-down meal at the Margaritaville Restaurant & Tiki bar, midweek means shorter wait times and a more relaxed vibe. Midweek means easy-going meals, plenty of seating, and a relaxed dining atmosphere, perfect for unwinding at your own pace.

Location Without the Overwhelm

Being in the center of Times Square doesn't have to feel overwhelming, especially not during the week. Catch that Broadway matinee without the usual ticket stress, pop into Central Park when it's less crowded, and make the most of the neighborhood without the weekend traffic. When you're done, head back to your room, take in the views, and breathe easy.

Atmosphere That Feels Like a Getaway

The décor is beachy, the music is breezy, and the pace is purposefully laid-back. Margaritaville Resort Times Square isn't just a place to stay, it's a state of mind. Even in Midtown, you're wrapped in a vacation-ready atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and stay a while.
