W Hotel in Times Square
 
Any one been? Opened 3 months ago? Looking at other W hotels. Any suggestions?

I attended an opening night party at the bar/club downstairs below Blue Fin (the restaurant). Very nice. Typical W atmosphere -- pretentious, trendy, opulent. Can't comment on the rooms, however. The location is LOUD, if you know what I mean. Have you considered the W Union Square or W on Lexington Avenue? Both locations are better, in my opinion. <BR>

If you want to be in the busiest tourist area in NYC this W certainly fits the bill. Every Broadweay theater is a five minute walk from the hotel.

How about W New York on Lexington Ave?

Very nice but small rooms. Extremely comfortable beds. Great location and typical W cool party atmosphere.<BR><BR>I stayed there for 4 days a month ago and certainly got my money's worth. I (along with a thousand other people over the past 3 months)paid just $25/night on a promotional rate that was entered incorrectly onto their website. It was supposed to be $259, but they dropped the 9 accidently. To the hotel's credit, they honored the $25 rate.

I like the W on Lex because of its great location (and cool bar, Whiskey Blue). Several friends have stayed there and liked it. Rooms can be small -- ask for a larger one. The upstairs scene is also alot of fun.
