Not what expected

I have only just arrived first room next to a motor room, asked to move staff said no motor room here but clearly labelled motor room. Second room there is a pubic hair and floor not fully clean but can’t be bothered to complain and change again. Check in woman not cheerful either. Oh wel 5 nights here so just got to hope it gets better!

Disappointed

I stayed at the Westin with friends during a weekend trip to New York. We were a group of 3. We had booked a room for 3 persons with 2 queen beds via third party booking site. When we arrived, we were provided with a small corner room with 1 king bed. We complained right away, this was in no way a room for 3 people. The front desk staff offered to bring a rollaway bed AND CHARGE US FOR IT. We were really unhappy with this and contacted the agent we had made the booking with. The agent contacted the hotel at once and found out that they were overbooked so unable to offer any upgrades. We were unable to switch hotels because no availability in the area. Agent was able to get us a rollaway bed with no charge. For a hotel of this class, this is very poor service. We did not feel valued as guests at any moment. The room was outdated and could use a renovation, pillows were uncomfortable, shower very powerless... I will not even consider staying at this hotel next time I find myself in New York.

Big disappointment

The Westin Hotel in Times Square is a surprising disappointment. On the first of our two night stay, a loud, disturbing party next door led us to call the front desk. Because there was no Front Desk button, we dialed O and waited and waited for someone to answer. After many minutes, we tried the Emergency button, and after another prolonged wait, we finally reached someone. We reported this the next morning and were upgraded. In both rooms, however, the clock was not set, the television cut out, and the WiFi was almost nonexistent. On our first evening, no doorman was present to help us secure a cab. The final insult was a broken Down escalator which made schlepping our luggage extremely inconvenient. If Westin hopes to maintain a decent reputation, they really need to “up their game.”

Dear Anne S, We are disappointed to learn your stay was met with some difficulties. Thank you for sharing your experience with your welcomed review. We value your feedback and always want to ensure a satisfactory stay. We are glad you let us know about the disturbance from other guests and that a room upgrade was offered. We are, however, looking into why it was challenging reaching us. We always want to respond promptly to our guest's needs. A well-appointed guest room is also necessary and we have our engineering associates addressing a few areas that need our attention. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to improve and we are confident we can restore the high Westin standards you have come to love should you return. Safe and pleasant travels. Be Well, Michael Wlodkowski General Manager

Good central location for New York!

We stayed here in room 4137 (good view of Empire State), quiet clean room with daily maid service. With Virgin we had a daily allowance of $30 which would but you 1 beer and 3 cokes so got us a drink each night. Breakfast extremely expensive $104 for x4 continental breakfasts. Plenty of local restaurants within minutes walk to get breakfast at a fraction of the price. Overall a great location for Times Square, Central Park, Madison Square Gardens, Pier 83, Top of the Rock and Empire State. Just beware when you check out they seem to take a pre auth on your card (we had $150 transaction on our Travel Card for 48 hours before this was corrected to $32).
