No complaints. Platinum upgrade on pts stay Sat-Sun. Reasonably large size rooms for the city and the recently renovated rooms are nice and comfortable . Easy walk to grand central - will stay again.

Good place to stay for SPG Platinum tourists w/ Suite Night Awards: Use them here and get a Junior Suite with view at Chrysler Building. But don't expect hight plat recognition (this is NYC after all)

Tucked inside Grand Central Station, the Campbell Apartment is truly a hidden gem . With its cozy couches and grand fireplace , the Campbell Apartment is the perfect place for a nightcap. Read more

Camron King

Westin Grand Central repeat customer here! Love the location and the hotel/rooms are comfortable and clean . May not be the most upscale Westin, but it's on brand and a great property.

Henry Li

Rooms here at the Westin are generally bigger than NYC W's for the same price. Great location just a couple blocks from Grand Central. Duane Reade conveniently located around the corner. Nice spot!

Ralph Meyer

Got a great deal online and enjoyed this property. Room was immaculate, spacious and everything for our stay was in order. Check in and check out was a breeze. The bar area was spacious & well served.

Cheryl

Upgraded to a comfy king bed in corner room . Westin workout service is ridiculously slow - 1 hr to get all requested gear correct. Otherwise tranquil hotel unlike SPG Times Square properties.

Till

Internet here is comfortably fast! (Not like in other Starwood hotels in Europe where "high speed Internet access" is often comparable to 1998 modem speed.)

Aleksey

Clean and nice with a fresh and pleasant smell in the rooms. Rooms are a bit small, but accurate. Biggest drawback? Paid Internet. Come on, it's 21st century. Don't nickel-and-dime your visitors.

Using key card in the elevator before being able to select your floor does not work quickly enough resulting in missing my floor on the way up and having to stop the elevator on the way back down.

Dorothy Hunt

The bed was comfortable . It wasn't as noisy for me. They charge for EVERYTHING its overpriced even for NYC. Don't buy drinks at the bar walk up the street you'll thank me later!

Christina Warren

Dig this hotel . It’s a good location for what I’ll be doing and I got a good rate! Hotel tour coming soon!

Julian Si

Check-in staff tried to insist on a Destination charge which was eventually waived - Excellent view of Chrysler on higher floors ????

Stephen Wright

Nice place to stay albeit expensive for food. Get the room view or you will miss out

Pamir Aydinoglu

Friendly door keepers, room cleaning PERFECT, street noise is at very normal amount. Of course it is better if your rooms are at higher floors.

Christina Caraveo

Concierges were grumpy and a bit snooty. See the cheery bellmen for quick help for things. Got an upgrade without having to use my Suite upgrade points - check in desk was more than kind to us.

David E.

Best service in town . The location is perfect and the rooms are spacious and clean . 5 out of 5.

Stephanie DeDecker

Great location and clean rooms , but often rates are more expensive than it's worth

Lindsey Hogan

Make sure your room is clean before committing to staying in it; colleagues found left over sandwiches in their mini-fridge. Makes you wonder what else they skipped over in the cleaning .

Westin Hotels & Resorts

The Westin New York Grand Central is in prime Midtown East location makes it easy to experience Manhattan.

Fran Su

Comfortable SPG bedding, relatively quiet midtown neighborhood .

Tasos Chatzitheodosiou™

Very nice hotel . Central location and good service . I can't understand why it is not a 5* hotel .

Marie Domingo

Cannot recommend the $10 or more for a can of Spindrift types of drinks in from the lobby.

Paul Lomax

Location is perfect, & beds are comfortable . But rooms can be noisy , & room service is sloppy. However, it's currently half the points of other Westins for SPG Free Nights, so works out well .

Scott Kleinberg

One of the older hotels in the area, but it was fine.

Pieter Levels

Great place but they charged us for WiFi ! Criminal! ????

Dennis Agusi

Great place to stay! Love the large rooms and convenient central location.

Amol K

Great views from the higher floors.

SanDee Priser

Rooms are OK but service, especially for SPG Platinum , is consistently disappointing. Very slow check in. Only 12 suites so forget upgrade even if you request Suite Reward 2 weeks in advance.

Julian Si

Firm beds, and super location

Matt Law

Worst thing after a long day of travel delay is showing up in a long line at check-in. Well , this is the hotel ... Long wait with one person. fool me twice now, will not have a third time !

Frank Atkinson

Great location and very friendly staff

Rhonda Scharf

Easy walk from Grand Central Terminal - great location

Jose Prieto

Other than a name change and facelift this place doesn't impress me. The very small space at front makes check in makes it a free for all.

Parham Haghighi

No free wifi ! Comfortable beds .

Westin Hotels & Resorts

Meet me under the clock. As the literal center of the station, there's never a dull moment waiting here. Read more

Jeff Gunn

Serves Stumptown . Book it.

Beth Dwyer

WiFi is 15 bucks a day per room!

Maya Dominguez

A bit noisy in the mornings with construction (temporary) and traffic and a lot of horns in the morning.

Jodi

Westin Times Square is so much nicer. Friendlier staff as well .

Stephen Wright

Nice area and not so loud

Sachin Gaur

No bottled drinking water in the room unlike other Westin hotels

Jonathan Khoo

Do they not believe in fabric softener? My $2.99 towel from Walmart is less sandpapery.

Heather Horenstein

Beautiful hotel since renos have been done.

Stephen Luo

Probably the worse Westin in term of service attitude, they are not probably trained and don't care. Room is fine, could be noisy because of the windows sealing.

Christopher Shabazz

This hotel died not impressed me none. Everything was expensive . The housekeeping staff dust not leave fresh towels and the room was not as clean , finding hairs on the bathroom sink.

Donna

Slow elevators !!

Nora Lamarti

Awesome dirty martinis !

Lisa Ingellis

Wait until construction is done. Jackhammers go until 11 pm. Coupled with street noise , sleep is difficult.

Kate Geiling

This place is perfectly fine, I don't hear any traffic noise .
