I have over 100 room stays a year, so it is real hard to impress me. From Nelson on the front desk to Joyce in housekeeping on the 6th floor I must say that I was very impressed! Every one wanted to help and they DID! We ask for two room close to each other (next door), help with room... More

The lobby is a happening place in the evenings, some cozy couches in the front great for people watching. The hotel allowed us to check in early (9 am!) which was excellent. The room had no view, but we didn't expect it to. The bed was large and comfortable! The shower took quite some time to warm up, however we... More

We had a great time on a girls weekend. Room was pretty small and rolling bathroom door was sort of weird for privacy when sharing room with friends, but all staff was really great, the coffee in the lobby was good and strong and it was in a great central location in Union Sq. Subway is a block away and... More

You can't go wrong with a W, but the personal touch and service the staff here has shown me and my family on my last 2 stays in NYC make it stand above every other hotel experience I can remember. The rooms were great. The room service breakfast was as punctual as an alarm clock. But, it was the manager... More

Staying in a hotel in New York is not like staying in a hotel other places. As you are likely to eat every meal out, and are quite probably out of the hotel from early until late, you just aren't going to have the usual hotel experience. Unlike other recent reviewers we found that we had virtually no interaction with... More

I'm a huge fan of this hotel! Right off the bat I noticed how nice the building and lobby are. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and if we needed anything they were promptly there to help.
