Good location in NYC
I just returned from a 4 night stay on the 3rd floor, "wonderful room". I was in town for the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. The location is somewhat close to Times Square and our favorite inexpensive place to eat was 2 blocks down at the Oxford Cafe at 591 Lexington (corner of 51st & 52nd Street). The W Staff were friendly and the lobby cozy. The room temperature was perfect. The only negative things were: housekeeping was poor. :I had to ask to have my room restocked with towels because housekeeping forgot to clean my room one day, they said it was because "I probably had a do not disturb sign up". (I never had one to begin with in my room. The pillows had an awful odor. I was also charged on my invoice for the mini bar, which I NEVER touch. They did remove the charge after I brought it to their attention. I have stayed at the Marriott Marquis Times Square and found it cleaner, brighter and with top notch housekeeping but, I would recommend the W Hotel and maybe would stay there again.
