Although it's not in Time's Square, this is a great location. Very close to the subway (which is always a plus) and great restaurants. Our room was facing out towards Filene's Basement, DSW, Whole Foods and the Union Square Park. Our room was large and the bathroom was a nice size too. The beds are very comfortable and the staff... more

Very comfortable room, great service. High floors have fantastic view of NYC. Union Square is a great location for walking down to SOHO and the subway. The W has complimentary car service from Acura which was fun and convenient. Glam crowd. more

I was going to New York on business and booked a room for me and another room for members of my family who tra velled with me. The check in process was quick - though I wasn't keen on having to pay up front for the rooms at booking several weeks before. When I got out of the elevator, I... more

Having read the reviews below after my recent stay, I can understand why some would complain... We were here to celebrate a friend's 50th, and if we ended up with the first room they brought us to, for the b-day boy, I would have been really upset. But... lucky for us, they gave him a room already occupied, with someone... more

Stayed four nights at the W Union Square. Booked in with the Starwood free weekends promotion so only paid for two of the nights. That said, I felt the stay wasn't worth paying two nights at the 450 dollar rate, much less four. This was my first visit to New York City so I have no other hotels to compare... more

I stayed at the W with my husband and 14 month old for three days over a recent weekend. I used to live in NY and so was familiar with Union Square, and so selected the W because of its location, which is fantastic. In the area there are great restaurants of all price ranges, from Olives in the hotel... more

I was very surprised how HUGE our room was. For a historical hotel, I really was expecting "cozy", but the room was huge, the bathroom was huge, it was great! Of course all W standards are there including the wonderful bed, very comfy after long days walking around New York. Great location close to shopping, restaurants and subway station. Looking... more

I wrote a long review in winter of last year, but having taken a trip to NYC this past week and stayed at the W Union Square again, I wanted to review it again to say it was just as great the second time. We were originally going for one night and had gotten a great rate, and decided to... more

Most hotels in Union Square are out of budget for our travels to NYC. When the "W" offered a Pay-2,Stay-3 discount, we jumped. Union Square is such a fun area - with open-air markets all year round; Whole Foods, DSW, and tons of great, affordable dining. This hotel is casual but sophisticated, the staff was phenomenal, and the room was... more
