What a lovely place! Newly renovated, it is just wonderful! Clean, comfortable, and the staff is excellent. We were there on Memorial Weekend/Fleet Week. The hotel is very, very close to Times Square and walking distance of everything.The staff is professional, efficient and very welcoming. Only complaint: The air conditioner is rather loud, so I suggest bringing ear plugs....I used... More

My partner and I stayed for 6 nights in this lovely, small and cosy hotel from 18 till 24 May, 2012. The employees are friendly and helpful. Its location is perfect if you need a fast connection to NYC main attractions and a walking distance you can go to your favourite musical and enjoy the unbeatable atmosphere of Times Square.... More

Good midtown/broadway location. Like the others have commented, the lobby has an old world charm/boutiquey feel to it. We arrived at 4am and the concierge was kind enough to store our bags and recommended us to Cosmic Diner just around the corner for a quick pick-me-up. The room is standard NYC size, there were 2 of us therefore manouvering around... More

The WJ is located a short walk away from Times Square in the very heart of New York City. It's location is the hotel's best feature. It is literally minutes from Broadway. With its location you'll find yourself immersed in the best and worst features of the Big Apple. The hotel is very close to the subway and entertainment/restaurant precincts.... More

Rooms are small but what do you expect for NYC - great location, walking distance to Times square and all great restaurants yet sits in a lovely neighborhood setting. Rooms were VERY clean and staff was most professional and helpful!

As with other reviews, it has to be pointed out that the rooms at this hotel are small. But that's what you'd expect from a NYC hotel and with this hotel, the price is right. Also noted in other reviews is the fact that rooms facing the street (i.e. - 51st St.) tend to be noisy. Despite asking for a... More

We really enjoyed our stay here, good location, not far from train station and food store. Restaurant across the road is South African themed so it was really nice to experience some home cooking even in New York. Room is however very small, we didn't really have place for both our suitcases. Bathroom is also tiny. We however only really... More
