I stayed at the W on Lexington in early July for business. The location was extremely convenient for both work and play (I built in some extra time for sightseeing). There are plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops & delicatessens nearby. I walked to Grand Central, Central Park, and Rockefeller with ease. I arrived at the hotel at 11am and... more

At first I was really excited when I saw that I had gottten the W Hotel on Hotwire, but then I discovered that it wasn't the W in Union Square which is the really nice one, but this one in Midtown. Yes, the location is very convenient to Grand Central and so you can get anywhere in the city and... more

The rooms are not too small. The lack of bedside lighting was not good. I was tired after a day of sightseeing and wanted to put my feet up and read while the other person in the room slept. I had to sit in the less-than-comfortable desk chair to do this. No shelving in the bathroom a problem. I don't... more

We stayed at the W Hotel for a long weekend over July 4th in a suite. Perhaps these have been refurbished recently as opposed to the smaller rooms as this was a great room - the bedroom was slightly small but the bathroom was large with a tub and power shower and everything was spotless. The car service was a... more

Great place, very chic and well appointed. Good base for a stay in the city. I could see where some folks said the rooms were small - we were upgraded to a suite and it was really no more than a decent sized hotel room with a bed and small sitting area. Also had a workdesk and comfortable swivel chair.... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the W and were upgraded to a small suite, even this was small but it met our needs and we were there to explore New York and not spend day and night in the room. We had a problem with our safe but it was sorted within 10 minutes. Edna on reception was wonderful... more

Booked the W on PriceLine...so I didn't know the name of the hotel until I had already paid. Expected much more than we experienced unfortunately. My 20 year old daughter and I were there for 4 days to celebrate the year end of university. The trip was great but the hotel was disappointing. The room was extremely small, unbelievably dark... more

I'm from montreal and we have a really nice and stylish W here in one of the trendiest districts in quebec, Canada. I expected the same from the W new york.....what a rude awakening it was when we got there.....The lobby is really modern and very happening in the evenings but the rooms are a disaster. They are old, decreped,... more

Spent 3 nights at the W Hotel on Lexington, taking advantage of a special birthday rate of $249 for the first night, then the guest's birth year plus $100 for the next two nights (available on their website). This was a good deal for me and my husband, who was born in 1939; hence one night at $249 and then... more

Booked this hotel because of great experiences with W hotels in past. Wanted to try something different. Don't know how Starwood gave the name "W" for this hostel-like property. I am a Starwood gold member based on minimum stay requirements and got upgraded to what they call "spectacular" room. The size of the room is exactly two times smaller than... more
