I had booked this hotel through an Irish travel company some seven months before my trip, so you can imagine my surprise to arrive there Christmas week and discover that they didn't have my booking. Of course, being the week that was in it, the hotel was full. Crystal at reception could not have been more helpful and after about two hours of waiting she found us a very comfortable room. I wish to emphasise that it was the fault of the irish tour operator that the reservation had not been passed on. There were two very soft double beds in the room and it was well equipped in every way. The beds in Westin hotels are particularly comfortable. The hotel certainly deserves its five star rating because of its impeccable service and high standards of comfort, but it was far too modern and far too big for my taste. In addition to that, the whole system of tipping in NY is so close to begging that it drives me nuts! People have their hands out at every opportunity and, where an opportunity does not exist, they are very adept at creating one! You require a reservation for the steakhouse in the hotel, even if you are a guest, and they are quite snooty in refusing you if you don't have one. In typical NY style no breakfast is served in the hotel, but there are pretty good diners on every street. The hotel is so central to everything, particularly if you want to attend the shows. However, I wouldn't stay there again, but only because it's too impersonal for my taste.
The location is excellent, and service is efficient in every way. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: Right on Times Square.Map: Westin New York Times Square

| | | | Westin New York Times Square: In the center for everything Compare Rates NEW! | Satisfaction: | | | | |
I spent 3 nights in Westin. The place is next to TimesSquare has 2 entrances in 42nd and 43rd streets. The 42nd gets you inside a complex with a Mex-restaurant to a multiplex cinemas and to a Starbucks.The 43rd is the main one and you get straight to the hotel. The check in took me not more than five minutes and a very kind lady gave me the keys for room 3502. The elevator was something... It would took you about 15 seconds to get to 35th and this could make you feel a little sick! But i really liked it although my fiance didn't so much... The room had a magnificant view.It was a corner deluxe room,which i highly recomment. 2windows in each side give you a view from Southern Manhattan,all way up the Hudson river, all way up the 8th Ave and some TimesSquare view.It is a very good opportunity to understand some of the sizes of the city's buildings and streets... Totally recommented...
A very good thing was, after a time in afternoon,you should show your room key to enter the hotel, for security reasons. All the pesonel was real kind and polite and seemed to want to satisfy all your needs. The concierge has a full knowledge of the city and everything i asked they answered me right away.Also they made me 2 reservations in the restaurants i wanted. The rooms provide you coffeemaker and coffee from Starbucks, also laptop size safer and full bar. My room had 2 opening windows and...OH MY GOD!!! I forgot the bed! You will not believe the bed... It gives you the sense that when you lie down you think it gives you a huuuge hug and doesnt let you go... The best bed i've ever slept... The only negatives i could say, is that you should wait more than 1-2 minutes to get the hot water, perhaps because of the high floor and also the room service once forgot left a shampoo.. That's all.Overall was a great experience...

| | | | Westin New York Times Square: Heavenly bed, close to attractions Compare Rates NEW! | Satisfaction: | | | | |
The Westin NY is in a great location if you want to experience the excitement of NYC. It's located right next to Times Square and 5-min walk from Port Authority. You can choose from 863 luxurious guest rooms & suites that all come with their signature "Heavenly Bed", oh so soft & comfortable, and the "Heavenly Bath". When I arrived at the hotel, there were many bellhops to take my bags. Unfortunately, I must've not given him enough tips or something because he didn't look happy when I gave him the money. The room was pretty big for a hotel in Times Square that fit 2 very comfortable double beds with white sheets & duvet. Pity I didn't spend much time in the room because I was out to the theatre & exploring Times Square that were all within 5-min. Breakfast in the executive lounge was quite simple (mostly cold dishes) but they did have Starbucks coffee. Bar 10 on the 2nd floor served nice cocktails and had a modern but relaxing atmostphere. Overall, this hotel is great if you want a central location for shopping, theatre & dining but it can be very busy. Rooms, facilities & location are top notch but I can't say the same for their staff.
A 32” flat screen HD TV and iHome clock radio with iPod dock in the room were pretty handy for me. The "Heavenly Bed" was so soft & comfortable and wished I could take it home with me.

Otherwise, you can see it once you come out of Port Authority along 8th Avenue.Website: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1380&requestedChainCode=WI&requestedAffiliationCode=WI&localeCode=en_US&l Other Contact: http://westinny.comMap: Westin New York Times Square

| | | | Westin New York Times Square: A little piece of heaven in NYC Compare Rates NEW! | Satisfaction: | | | | |
Well, after a 2 year hiatus down under, I was back to travelling and NYC was on the docket. In my quest to stay in every hotel in Times Square (that gives out points anyway), I was off to the Westin New York at Times Square. Despite the difficult and lengthy name, I was able to find the place and check in. Thank goodness for a corporate card! This place was E-X-P-ensive. I would actually like to meet the people who stay in these places when the company is not paying for it, because I think $350 dollars a night is close to highway robbery (or in this case subway robbery). I will tell you this much though, the hotel is superb. The Heavenly bed that is a Westin trademark lives up to its name, and the heavenly showerhead are two signatures of Westin that are worth their weight in gold. You will sleep like a baby, guarenteed! The location of this hotel is also ultra convienent, and the bar lounge has a great selection of wine and spirits, as evidenced by the get together we had. One tip to you points concious travellers: All of the hotel bars are tied in to Starwood Points, so if you have your get together at Shula's Steakhouse or Bar 41, you will be earning those 3 Starwood points per dollar spent... and if you have the Starwood AMEX, you get an additional two per dollar at Starwood properties. Translated into English, if you take your client out to this restaurant, you could be earning 5 starpoints per dollar compared to those other choices that are only 1 starpoint per dollar!
