Location is the main reason to stay here!
Great location with it being just a short walk out to Times Square. Not right in the square though.
Hotel is located right on 8th av and 43rd. 
Beds aren't the greatest. Small rooms. Washrooms are not the greatest either.
Parking $55 plus tax per day. Lobby kind of dark and drab. Used to be much nicer seven years ago before the recent reno. Rooms are also a little drab with the ugly green color theme. What were they thinking?
For nearby food..Shake shack is exellent! Just across the street and for even a way better burger go to Five Napkin burger on 9th and 45th. Wow what a burger. Or even Jackson hole burgers which are the best ever...ok I like burgers can you tell? Dallas Barbecue is great and its just outside the door of the hotel! Dallas is great for families on a budget but good food for the price.
Saw Spiderman with the wife and kids and it was amazing! Worth seeing for the production alone even if you don't like the spiderman story. Also saw Bird and Magic play which was also excellent! Spiderman theater the fox wood is just outside the door of the Westin.
Westin is a decent hotel choice because of the customer service and the location. 
I am a loyal SPG Platinum so I pick Spg properties sometimes based on loyalty even when the hotel isn't my first choice. Best hotel program hands down! 
$400 plus on Easter weekend is way too much for this hotel. I like the Omni Bershire way better at that price! But SPG dictates.
