I was in town for the NY Marathon this past weekend and stayed at the W. The hotel is beautiful - very relaxing decor and the staff were excellent. Our room was not ready around 12 pm (guaranteed checkin isn't until 3 anyway) but I had my 5 year old with me and we both needed to sleep! The W... more

I stayed in this hotel for a single night in October 2009. The location was fantastic as I had a meeting on 3rd Ave. I selected this location because of its proximity to a client's office. The room was approximately 200 square feet as is typical of mid-cost hotels in Manhattan. Upon arrival the reception staff was quick and attentive... more

I booked my stay at W New York from Priceline. I did travel with my wife and 2 kids (12/8). This is what I'd say. If you book with Priceline, Only do so if you are traveling with someone you could share a bed with. This hotel only has single beds in a room or 2 twins (!) So, with... more

For a first time visit to New York, the location was excellent. W hotels have a reputation for being hipand modern but I got the impression that was a good excuse to rip you off. The foyer and lounge area (which is far too small for hotel of this size) were dimly lit and it's not my idea of fun... more

Superclean room, quiet, dark with a spectacular bed - that's all I needed and got. Even though I didn't go to NYC to sleep, a good sleep is super important. I wasn't crazy about midtown/east but subway transportation is abundant to everywhere. The 3 for 2 promo I got made the whole thing a deal. The public areas were trendy;... more

I might be biased to this hotel, but during this last stay there I got engaged! <3 My fiancee and I stayed 2 nights this past weekend and had a great time! We had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the chrystler building. The front desk staff was very nice, and even came up to our room to take... more

It was a nice hotel - comfortable bed and nice linens. The bathroom was very small - but overall a nice stay. more

Overall, this hotel was disappointing, especially after the much-hyped "renovation". We were "upgraded" to a higher floor, although the shoebox of the room led us to wonder what the original room would have been. The pipes in the ceiling were also a very classy touch and made the room feel like it had been converted from an electrical closet. The... more

I am a professional stewardess and have an industry standard amongst some of the wealthiest people with the highest of standards. The rooms have no sufficient or functional storage area... The rooms are not cleaned properly if at all with room service and the staff are inconsistent with being respectful and helpful. The rooms had a mold in the roof... more

Stayed 1 night as part of a longer business trip. Was excited by the name and the reputation (and hadn't checked any reviews), but was disappointed by the experience Room was extremely small, and didn't have a bath. I think the room was for people with disabilities given various bits and pieces in the bathroom. That said, anyone with a... more
