We stayed here one Sunday night and were upgraded to a larger room upon our arrival. Not sure if this was because I'm an SPG member. The check-in area is relatively small, but they do have a nice seating area off to the side that ties in with the hotel bar. Check in was fast and friendly and you can... more

We arrived early Saturday morning and were lucky to get an executive check-in for the Mega Room, which was not SO mega.. but nice. Being able to check in at 7am was a HUGE plus for us, especially after our red-eye flight. My gf attempted to surprise me with champagne and strawberries 2x, but the ball was dropped both times... more

Considering the pricetag, we were disapponted in this hotel. The pluses were the courteous staff and the fact that the hotel was neat the clean. The hotel also required a room card to use the elevator. Not a bad securty measure. The bar located off the lobby served a really good white sangria The minus was that the room was... more

As a first timer to the big apple, I wanted to be central to everything and Union Square was the place to be. RESERVATIONS/CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: This is the worst part of my stay. There were some glitches were due to some circumstances, I had to postpone my stay from January to May. I had booked online via their website a deal... more

I have been a loyal customer of the Marriott chain (Marriott rewards member) and it's difficult for me to stay anywhere else. I was looking for a hotel in NYC that accepted pets (2 dogs) but that would also be near a park for them. I looked in the central park area, but there didn't seem to be a lot... more

When we got to the room it wreaked of cigarette smoke, even though it was a non-smoking room. After complaining to the front desk, they claimed that the hotel was completely booked and they could not move us. They put a machine in our room while we were out at dinner that they claimed would clear out the bad smell.... more

As hotels go the W is pretty good. I had a great experience with the staff, they were friendly and helpful without being either over officious or haughty. The room was ok - pretty clean, average room decor. My problem was with the overall atmosphere of the hotel. This is not somewhere to stay if you are there for business.... more

I most recently stayed at the W in Union Square for a one night visit to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. I received the best customer service I have ever experienced from any hotel. The trip started with me working with guest services to do a few special things to the room before we arrived. The Hotel was wonderful to work... more

A coworker and I went to Manhattan on business. From the moment we walked in the front door we were treated like royalty. The lady at check-in was so amazed that I'd be staying for 6 nights, she signed me up for the Starwood Advantage program, which should eventually get me a free hotel stay or two. Whoever checked in... more
