Westin Times Square-Club Floor
 
Has anyone ever stayed on the Club Level at Westin Times Square? I'm wondering what floors the club level occupies. I remember reading somewhere that the club level floors were lower but I'm not sure if this was in reference to the Westin Times Square or if it was about the W New York Times Square?
In your opinion, was the club level worth the extra dough?

Thanks

I seem to recall reading you get a free breakfast among other things on the club level. Have you checked reviews on tripadvisor? Sometimes you get the info there.

mclaurie - Thank you for your reply
I know that with club level at Westin TS you get Continental breakfast for two, evening hors d'oeuvres, health club access and entry to the executive club lounge, but I was wondering about the floors club level occupies.
For some reason I remember reading somewhere that the club level floors covered like floors 10-15 or something like that (not really high) I don't know if this was in reference to this hotel or the W Times Square so that's why I asked.
I'll call the hotel to make sure and check tripadvisor as well.
Thanks
If others have any opinions on club level at Westin TS please let me know

The club floors are lower. Whether it is worth it depends on the a) "premium" you are paying compared to a regular room, b) whether you will use all the "extras". For us, US$60 more for breakfast and hors'deurves is not worth it but then if you like "all you can eat" breakfast, it might be worth it.

Hi
We just stayed at the Club Level and IMO not worth it. First of all ask for a higher room it was worth the great view, the others have a view of the building next door. Our views were spectacular. Also we always forgot to go grab a bite to eat. We ate breakfast one morning and it was not that great. I would rather grab a danish and that good bakery next door. Or grab a piece of pizza in the afternoon rather then go for there goodies. I did like getting all the drinks my hands could hold, that was the best. I found out later there are no soda machines (at least that is what my hubby told me) in the hotel.

The hotel itself was no Ritz, but it was VERY clean and good local and great service. I loved it and will stay there again. Hope this helps you.

We just stayed at this Westin on a club level floor. 13th floor I think. The club level is from floors 10-14 or something like that. We had a corner room (definitely ask for a corner room no matter if on club level or not) and it was great! We enjoyed the evening snacks and the breakfast and health club the next day.

We used our Starwood points and it cost us only an additional 1500 points to be upgraded to club level (10K vs. 11,500). For 1500 points it was worth it. If you are not using points and are going to eat the evening snacks, breakfast and use the health club, paying an extra $50-75 is probably worth it. If it costs any more than that I would just get a regular room. Just ask for a corner room HIGH floor!

If you like sushi my wife and I LOVED the shushi bar downstairs. If you drive in park right next door for $15-20 less than at the hotel.

Have fun either way,

Marc
