We chose the W for our first trip into the big city because of its distance from the show we were seeing on Broadway. We are very happy with our stay and would absolutely choose the W again.
-The location was perfect for a short stay right in Times Square and just a 20 min. walk to Central Park, 10 min. to Rockefeller Center….close to all the touristy spots.
-The room was great, clean, and spacious for two people. The bed was very uncomfortable and the walls were thin. We were exhausted so it didn’t bother us but I could see that being an issue for some.
-The W staff were so friendly and accommodating. If they were annoyed by two out of place tourists, they didn’t show it at all.
-Valet parking was $85 with a $15 parking tax but for ok two days I was glad not to worry about finding parking. It’s right in the thick of it all so I was happy to pay a little more.
-There are two restaurants,a gym, and a lobby bar. You’re charged a $25.00 resort fee but can also spend that at the bar.
Overall, it was a fast experience for our first trip to NYC.
