Westin New York at Times Square

I was there for business and my family joined my for the weekend. Big room (for NYC), great staff and a pefect location.

Location: The hotel's location is very close to Times Square, if that important for you. On the downside, it is right around the corner from the port authority police, so the sound of sirens is pretty common. Unfortunately, my hotel room window didn't have a great seal, so the noise wasn't completely excluded. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, I was told that the hotel was completely booked and there wasn't a free room to which to transfer.
Overall, the room was spacious and reasonably appointed. However, it just seemed that the designer had cut corners. For instance, rather than opaque curtains in the windows, there was a blind that one pulls down from the top of the window. Unfortunately, there were gaps in the blind's coverage of the window (along the superior and both lateral aspects), which let a significant amount of light in at sunrise (I even had a West-facing room - can't imagine what it was like on the East side of the hotel). As for the bathroom, the thin, stainless steel countertop and sink was reminiscent of an airplane lavatory.
Service was not quite as good as you might expect from a $300/night hotel. After the first night, when the maid service came to clean the room, they took the dirty towels but failed to replace them with clean ones.
I had stayed in the Millenium on 44th street just 1 month earlier on business - though the Millenium room was a bit smaller, I didn't have any problems there, and rack rates were notably cheaper there. I'll stay there next time I need to be in Midtown.
