An uphill battle

It was uphill from the beginning. The second room I was allocated had a distinct smell of smoking, so I settled for the third room, even though there was a large hair clip under the sink, suggesting the floor hat not been cleaned since the last guest – or perhaps it had been there for a while. The dust on the lamp had been accumulating for much longer than just the last guest. I got very familiar with how to call guest services because every time I was looking for something it was missing. During a 4 night stay I had to call for Bathrobes (twice since housekeeping took the first ones without replacing them), slippers, toilet paper, water (empty ones was not replaced by housekeeping), shampoo, bodywash, and a laundry bag, I do not know if they are trying to save money by only supplying these things to those who really needs it, but not supplying an extra roll of toilet paper – really. The wool sweater that I had dry cleaned came back with a whole, but I did not see that until after I left the hotel. The TV is fine, and the beds are also comfortable, but the rooms are a little “tired” and uninspiring. For sake of the Westin brand I hope that Westin Times Square is not anyone’s first encounter with Westin. My experience with Westin around the world has always been good hotels, good service and nice experiences. Because of that I have not lost all faith in Westin, but if this was my first Westin experience, I never stay at a Westin again.

Quick Girls Night Out

My second stay at this hotel, and brought my friends along. An excellent location for those wanting to see midtown or going to the theater! The staff was kind and able to get us rooms side by side. Our experience was smooth from walking in the door to departing. Our room and bathroom were clean and modern. We stayed in the 32nd floor and had a quiet nights sleep. I would choose this again as my stay if I were in Midtown.

Yay Westin!

My husband and I took our kids to NY for a fun-filled weekend, and the Westin NY at Times Square was the perfect home base. Even if you're not a huge fan of Times Square itself (we aren't), this location is not far from Penn Station, and a manageable walk to lots of great things to do and see. We were greeted warmly, upgraded to a larger room (very spacious for NY and great for families) and graciously given a late check-out. We have been fans of Westin and W properties for years, and this is exactly why. We'll be back!

Poor service

I was surprisingly disappointed by how little the staff at this hotel care about their guests. Front desk people acted put out by questions. Had an issue with dry cleaning and manager did little to address it. Do not recommend anyone stay here.

Dear kenclem7, Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to share your feedback. We are disappointed to read your feedback regarding your recent stay. While we rarely receive negative reviews, it is always hard to hear that we have failed to provide a guest with the relaxing, enriching stay that they deserve. We regret that the service that you received from the associates at the front desk was anything less than warm and welcoming.

We have shared your feedback with our Front Desk Manager to use as a teaching tool regarding the importance of good customer service. Thank you for sharing your experience and thus, helping us craft a better stay for our future guests. We hope that you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a more favorable stay in the future. Be Well, Michael Wlodkowski General Manager

Terrible terrible hotel.

Small smelly rooms. We had 2 rooms. Asked for extra bed in both. Got it in none. After reminders we got a bed in one room. No bed in the other room. Breakfast was probably the worst I’ve ever had in a hotel, and priced at 35 bucks/person. Worst bang for the buck ever. Room 1842 has a bathroom making weird noises. Kept us up til 3am. Stay away at any cost!
