Check in was less than ideal as told would need to wait until late afternoon to get adjoining rooms , would get call when rooms available -never got call . Rooms not adjoining or even adjacent . After that all staff terrific and stay very enjoyable . Breakfast area too small for large number of guests with free breakfast voucher. Had to wait for 35 minutes to get seated on Sunday morning and still party of 5 had to split up.

Breakfast was good. But very crowded during Christmas week. Wait is about 10-15 minutes before seating. Can’t sit around too long as there’s a long line of people awaiting their turn. Lobby is small and not relaxing as other upscale hotels. Great gym space. Room service is great.

This is definitely not a 4.5-star hotel (except maybe when it comes to the price). I would rate it a 3.5 at best. We booked a premium bedroom expecting more space (33 m² vs 28 m²), but instead got a small room plus a large L-shaped entrance corridor... essentially an expensive hallway, not usable living space. There were also no complimentary water bottles in the room... you have to request them. The hotel is called Grand Central because it’s close to the station, but it also feels like it. With 41 floors and about 25 rooms per floor, it’s extremely crowded. In the morning, it can take up to 10 minutes just to reach the lobby because elevators are always full. Breakfast is another challenge: unless you arrive very early, getting a table is difficult, so we often chose to eat elsewhere. Service was disappointing. It took multiple requests to get basic things done: the sofa bed wasn’t prepared on arrival, and when it was, only a tiny blanket was provided. Pillows arrived in stages, and water bottles required several reminders. With over 770 rooms, the hotel clearly struggles to deliver attentive service. Finally, don’t forget the $40/day destination fee. And if you have a car, park elsewhere... $140/day for parking is bonkers. We parked two blocks away for $50/day. We will definitely choose another hotel next time we visit Manhattan.

Pricey all around but somewhat expected due to location. It was just unfortunate that the staff was unable to accommodate my daughter who was celebrating her BD with (1) a BD treat, especially since they 1st assured us that they would; (2) with a comforter to sleep with after all the money we paid to stay at the property. She was uncomfortable all night long - the pullout bed (mattress) was terrible (very dirty, old, smelly and super uncomfortable). Overall, beautiful property and very courteous staff

We had a great stay at the Westin during the Christmas week past. The hotel was packed and believe its full house but the staff tried their best to maintain the service that we expect from a Westin. Housekeeping had been excellent as we look forward to clean rooms every night we returned. Rooms were clean, showers are well maintained and air conditioning was working very well so my family was kept nice and warm during this cold Winter. Location is excellent, near subway and food around us. We will come back again!
