We were very pleased with our room at the W. It was comfy, cozy, and clean. The location of the hotel is perfect. The staff was very helpful. The gym is nice. This hotel is an excellent choice for a visit to Manhattan.

I checked into the W New York on Lexington quite late, around midnight. When I arrived the lobby smelled of spilled alcohol soaked into the carpet of a frat house. I got to my room which was so small I was shocked since this was sold as a "King Bed Spectacular room". I was in room 504 and there were... More

Stayed for one night this week. Room rate of $560 outrageous, but so was everywhere else in town this week because of the upfronts. Room very, very small but clean and well appointed.

While this is a StarWood property I found the telephone staff to be rude, I was getting transferred to dead end extensions. But the Manager apologized and helped me so that made it a little better. I would recommend staying here, but I hope you have patience on the phone, because you will need it.
