Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI

The W New York - Times Square offers a vibrant atmosphere, with music contributing to its lively vibe, yet some guests find the decor in rooms to be tired and outdated. While the hotel's location is often celebrated for its convenience to Times Square, especially by families, the amenities have left numerous travelers disappointed due to additional charges for basics and underwhelming offerings at the bar and breakfast. Opinions on service vary, with commendations for friendly staff contrasted by reports of poor responsiveness and housekeeping. Cleanliness is generally upheld, though some inconsistencies exist. However, many guests question the value, pointing to high 'destination fees' and pricey extras.

As a former New Yorker, I tend to avoid Times Square for so many reasons but for some reason during a recent 2 day business trip, I booked this hotel. I found the staff to be exceptional though my demands were few. I found the hotel to be glitzy in a bad 1990's way - purple and pink lights, glass, metal and colored plastic and without warmth. It was comfortable and clean but IMO - dated. The location was fine but to charge $30 as a destination charge was ridiculous - though I could use that as credit for the bar. The fact that this hotel and Marriott Corp want to charge $9 for a can of soda is beyond acceptable - this ain't Vegas and if your revenue stream is based upon an overpriced mini-bar, then you got bigger issues. If you want to be in Times Square then this is what the hotel provides you - quick access to the lights and all that those who actually dream of being in Times Square offers.

I stayed here with my dad in December. Firstly, when we arrived we spent an hour in reception as they had double booked our room, despite us arriving early. They had to find an alternate room for us to stay in and the staff seemed in no rush to resolve this and were not remotely apologetic, instead ushering us away from the desk to check in other guests. The actual room was clean enough and had a pretty good view of times square, but was nothing special. The hotel also demanded we paid an additional £30 per day we stayed which we could apparently claim back at the bar, despite both being non-drinkers. If I were to go again, I would stay elsewhere, particularly for the price.

The hotel is at a great location and has great views! The highlight for us was breakfast buffet at Foundry and their amazing staff. I specially want to recognize Felicia the hostess and Gladys who was our server most days. Loved how they made all felt welcomed, remember guests and Felicia even made sure we seat at our preferred table (we were traveling with 10 year old son that wanted to watch Disney channel ;)).
Food was delicious and a great convenience if you are traveling with kids before you hit the tourist attractions.
It’s $35 for full buffet but they give it for free for two people if you are a premier member.
Will definitely recommend the hotel.
There were some hickups though: room service comes early and if you don’t call the front desk if you are leaving after breakfast, housekeeping most likely won’t service your room. Also Bonvoy app messages are not always read by staff. After we complained they were on it.
Another important item: if you need a refrigerator you need to ask and pay for one ($20), so just be mindful of that.
Other than that a great location and Foundry staff.

Our experience at W New York – Times Square was disappointing, especially given the high expectations associated with the W brand.
1. Poor Service: Whenever we requested something from housekeeping, it took three follow-ups to get a response. The staff consistently cited being understaffed as an excuse for the delay, which is unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber.
2. Small and Low-Quality Rooms: The room was extremely small, and the quality felt far below the standard we’ve experienced at W Hotels in other countries. It felt more like a budget accommodation than a luxury hotel.
3. Noisy Environment: The rooms were not soundproof, and we could hear people talking and walking in the corridors very clearly, making it hard to relax or sleep.
4. Tiny Bathroom: The bathroom was uncomfortably small, and there were loud water noises at night, adding to the discomfort.
5. Lack of Assistance: Upon arrival, there was no one to assist with our luggage, leaving us to manage everything on our own. This lack of basic hospitality was shocking.
Overall, the experience fell far below expectations, and we would not recommend this hotel, especially given the high cost and reputation of the W brand
6. Breakfast - they have no dedicated restaurant and the mexican they have which offers breakfast the menu is very very poor
7. Found charges later that were never mentioned during check in and had benefits associated with the charges that were never given or mentioned

We enjoyed our recent stay at the W New York -Times Square. The location was in perfect proximity to Times Square. We went to see 2 plays and 3 museums and everything we went to was within 10-20 minutes either walking or using the subway. When we checked in we were told that the highest floor for a king bed was the 24th floor but that they had a room with 2 queens on the 56th floor. We took the 56th floor and very happy we did. View was spectacular! Our room was clean and comfortable. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion etc was provided. Hotel staff from the front entrance, reception, concierge, lounge and room service was friendly and professional. The bank of elevators provided pretty speedy access to our rooms since floors were separated to provide express service. We ordered room service each day for coffee and got the large pot each day for $13. Two bottles of water were provided free each day which was very nice.
We went to the hotel bar few times, drinks were expensive, but the staff was so friendly that we kept coming back.
We will definitely consider this hotel in the future.

The lobby and rooms are dark and very tacky.

The front desk charged my card twice for my stay and the person at the reception was very unhelpful. I requested for an acknowledgment email from the finance but despite confirmation did not receive any. On the day of the checkout a third charge was made to my card for the same stay. Again the person at the front desk was not available to help and kept treating it as a trivial issue, hence I had to escalate it to the manager and it is now in the process of being resolved.

At the time of checkout, I called multiple times for someone to help me with the luggage down as I had a flight to catch. No one turned up for 45 minutes and the room card became dysfunctional at 12 sharp while was I was locked out of my room with my luggage inside. When I went to the reception to seek help for a new room card I was directed to a wait which was 30 minutes long and told very rudely that nothing can be done about it except wait for my turn. All this while I informed them that I had a flight in a few hours!

If the hotel could focus on making lives comfortable for the guests rather than making it tougher, it has a remote chance of becoming a better property because of the central location.

The bell desk boy Ingel and the manager Bryanna were the only helpful people among all the staff members that I encountered.

Good luck to the people who have already made reservations at this property!

We woke up to find a bug on the pillow I just had my head on! We immediately grabbed it with a tissue, put it in the sink to take a photo and took it in a glass to the lobby desk. The desk clerk took the glass somewhere in the back and came back only to offer me 5,000 points for my trouble! When I said no that is ridiculous he brought out the manager on duty who offered to escalate the matter- I told them I wanted my one night stay refunded. When I returned to my room the manager called with in minutes offering to increase the point return to 10,000 and had the audacity to say the property would have to investigate if the bug came from there! Are you serious Marriott!! As a titanium elite and loyal Bonvoy member I have never been so disrespected! Exactly what are you teaching your managers to do in this situation other than accuse loyal patrons!
We also had black mold in the corner of the shower- do better!

We love the location of this hotel and the staff at the front desk have always been helpful. The rooms are always clean and the beds comfortable.

Was not happy that we rarely get upgraded even with Titanium status. This is always a frustration because the hotel always says they are completely booked.

This hotel has 57 floors and features 509 rooms & suites, 3 restaurants and bars, a 24 hour gym and a stylish décor.

At the time of visiting this hotel, I was a Titanium Elite member under the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programme. I booked a skyline view room with 2 double beds which averaged out to $700 per night. (3 adults sharing). I thought, being a Titanium member, I would receive a complimentary upgrade. However, I read many reviews of New York hotels having little to no upgrades when it comes to suites. So, I didn’t want to chance it and I used my SNA (Suite Night Award) upgrade perk under the elite benefits of the loyalty programme.

You can watch the full review on YouTube at Luxury Vegan Travel.

I chose to be upgrade to a Marvellous Suite which was successful! The room was nice and had plenty of space, a separate lounge and bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms and 2 TVs! Watch the video for the full details.

As an elite member, when checking in, I was given an option of a welcome amenity on top of complimentary breakfast! The choice was 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points or a $10 food & beverage credit.

The hotel charges a $25 destination fee, daily! Many think this is because they are staying in Time Square. However, the hotel, like most in New York, does not have a swimming pool, BUT, within the destination fee, the hotel can provide you with a voucher to use at a nearby gym (about 5-10 minutes walk) where they do have a swimming pool! Pretty cool! However, there is a decent gym onsite (more for cardio and a few weights machines and dumbbells).

The complimentary ‘elite’ breakfast is limited to a small menu (shown on the video) but they do also have an a la carte menu. Sadly, the elite menu does not have any egg dishes for those of you who eat eggs. These and other western breakfast options like bacon will need to be purchased from the a la carte menu. They did have almond milk for those of you who don’t drink dairy milk.

Overall, as an elite member very close to reaching the top tier (Ambassador), I don’t think the breakfast is very good, especially compared with hotels almost in touching distance like the JW Marriott Marquis or JW Marriott Essex House. If I plan to visit Time Square again, I would choose a different hotel, with more benefits for elite members. However, if you are not an elite member or are gold or below, then this isn’t much of an issue and otherwise, the hotel is in a good location.

Check out the video on YouTube at Luxury Vegan Travel and I hope you enjoy it!

This hotel is not cheap but it could not be more centrally located. Broadway Theatres are literally a step away. Fifth Avenue and the fabulous shopping is easy walking difference. It’s a little unusual in that check in is not on the ground floor but the staff were extremely helpful at all time. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom very high class, so much so I took photos to show my family. I only used the bar out of the available facilities but the cocktail was generous and delicious (pineapple base) and the staff were attentive without being overwhelming.

If I had a special occasion or business I would definitely stay here but for regular holiday visits I would go a little more downmarket.

So actually, some of the corner rooms have at least a great view of Times Square so you would get the whole vibe if you selected one of those. About getting out onto the street to see the ball. You... might... but, the way they close off the center into ribboned areas and with the crowds... good luck! But its worth a try!

I don't think so. This is prime real estate in Times Square. it seems highly unlikely that it would be used for a homeless shelter. I've been staying here for over a decade- can't imagine that.
