Alot of money for a VERY LITTLE room

The room was extremely small! The bathroom looked like a hospital shower. The towels were cheap and rough! BE CAREFUL. NOT TO PICKUP ANYTHING OFF THE MUNCHIES STATION IN YOUR ROOM!!! Its a weighted system so if you pick it up you pay for it immediately!!!

the not so cozy room

After checking in we went to our room to discover it was totally unclean , bed unmade etc. Went back to front desk , they apologized and gave us another room. The rooms are so small 200 SQ. FT. You can hardley walk around the bed. The bathroom floor was dirty and there were cobwebs and marks on the walls . There is no coffee or hot water maker in room. The view outside our window was the stairwell. We would never stay again or recommend this hotel.

New York visit

This was my first time ever coming to New York. I decided to stay at the W. The decor of the hotel is very nice. The bar and the lounge was active during the day and night. The room was very nice, but it was a bit cramped. I didn't stay in there much, but it did the job.

Love the W!!

Always a warm welcome at check-in. The bar atmosphere is great with the dj spinning tunes. Only draw back is the beds are too short. I am 5'4 and my feet were hanging over the edge. Other than that everything was great.

I Love this Place

I like the clean design and hip feel of the W. I can always count on a certain standard of comfort, aesthetic beauty, and quality with W hotels. Even when the rooms are small, they are comfortable and well appointed. The location couldn't be better, right by the 6 subway line and near the park. The nightclub is a bit loud, but maybe I am just getting a bit old. Would stay here again.

Great location

The hotel was in the perfect location to walk to just about anywhere. Only a few blocks away from Rockefeller Center, Times Square and Central Park. There were also some great restaurants along Lexington that were easily accessible. We didnt spend much time in the room due to sightseeing, but it was big enough for our purposes. Would definitely stay there again!
