I enjoyed my stay at The Westin New York Grand Central. The hotel staff at check-in was friendly and informative. Deirah was wonderful! She mentioned she has been working there for 40 years! The room was clean. I stayed 4 nights and each day the room was reset cleanly. Location is great. I did not want to be too close to Time Square but not too far. This is my 3rd time to NYC and this has been my favorite hotel in the heart of Manhattan and will be coming here again. I was given complimentary breakfast for the number of nights I stayed there. However, dining room was packed every morning. I was happy that I could redeem for food & drink at the cafe so the vouchers were not wasted.

I thank Jesus Christ my family was able to celebrate my son’s fourth birthday at The Westin New York Grand Central. The staff were amazing, the space was beautiful, and the view and room were impeccable. I genuinely look forward to returning, Christ Jesus willing.

We loved our stay at the Westin. It's a wonderful, busy hotel in a great location, only 3 minutes from the nearest subway station. There's also plenty of dining/shopping within a 10 minute walk. We will definitely consider the Westin Grand Central again for our next New York trip.

The bathroom had mold in it! No fans in bathrooms, mold on floors and ceilings. Beds were not very comfortable- not soft like most hotel beds. I had to call about the fridge in room not working and instead of help - I was told just keep flipping light switches until it kicks on. Then randomly someone dropped two water bottles off because i called? We had one and a half rolls of toilet paper for 6 days and two adults. Only given 2 towels and wash cloths. I am used to rooms that provide at least two towels per guest. It is a busy location, lots of food access. Oh and we were offered 12 free drinks or breakfast for 3 times (when we were staying for 6 full days???) The staff was friendly- but the hotel itself was not worth it for $3k.
Assume this is mold?
