    Can recommend for a mini-vacation

    Comfortable beds, spacious room, with excellent amenities such as a 24-hour fitness center and convenient luggage storage options, all situated just a short walk from Grand Central Station.

    Limited elevator access and missing basic toiletries.

    spacious room
    convenient location
    elevator delays

    Comfortable and spacious room with a massive bed that feels custom-made for a solid night’s sleep. Conveniently located near public transportation, it’s just a short stroll from major attractions, making exploring the area a breeze.

    Elevators were a hassle, leading to frustrating waits with some guests reporting over 15 minutes just to catch a ride. Breakfast seating felt chaotic, with a line that made grabbing a bite more of a chore than a pleasure. Housekeeping could use some consistency. on one day, the bathroom wasn’t fully stocked with necessities, which detracted from the experience.

    iconic sights
    spotty wi-fi
    occasional connectivity issues

    The location is just perfect! So close to Grand Central and iconic sights. The only downside was that the wi-fi connection was a bit spotty at times. Overall, a solid experience! 😊

    Fantastic stay with great views

    We had a wonderful stay! The breakfast offered freshly baked pastries and a variety of organic juices, and our room had a great view of the Chrysler building, making mornings special. The staff was friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. However, I wish the wi-fi connection had been more consistent during our stay.

    juicy burgers
    fantastic customer service
    prime location
    cold reception
    rushed breakfast experience
    poor cleanliness

    Dude, those juicy burgers at Shake Shack were absolute fire! Plus, our stay was sprinkled with fantastic customer service from the fab staff that made us feel at home. It’s a prime spot to crash after exploring the city’s delights.

    the receptionist barely cracked a smile. Come breakfast, we were ushered out faster than you can say 'New York minute'—no one offered a friendly holiday wish during our chaotic stay. And sadly, cleanliness was a hiccup too.

    clean room
    friendly staff
    dated room
    uncomfortable pillows
    no bottled water

    Cleanliness and friendly staff stood out during my one-night stay. The convenient location next to Grand Central made it easy to explore the area post-checkout, and I appreciated the option for luggage storage. However, the room felt dated, lacking USB outlets, and some pillows were uncomfortable foam. Additionally, the absence of complimentary bottled water was a missed opportunity for an enhanced experience.

    full breakfast buffet
    great location
    high breakfast costs

    We had a fantastic stay here, especially enjoying the full breakfast buffet every morning. It was great to fuel up before exploring the city with my two grown kids. The location made it easy to reach all the major attractions.

    In my wife’s opinion, the breakfast prices should be more family-friendly. It's tough when feeding everyone adds so much to the budget.

    buffet breakfast
    delicious

    It was just a commendable fit for a mini-break over the weekend in New York with good price-value balance. The buffet breakfast had everything you could want, and it was delicious. Make sure to ask for a fridge if you need it because they can bring one quickly.

    lift issues

    The Westin Grand Central impressed with its clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff. Loved the location near Grand Central and Times Square, but the breakfast service was slow, and we faced some lift issues during peak hours. The overall atmosphere felt a bit impersonal due to the hotel’s size.
