Краткий обзор: A solid, functional base camp for tourists that is currently plagued by a maddeningly slow elevator situation.
Подтверждено @WayfaringAimlessly: I stayed here for a mix of work and fun. Honestly, grabbing a Junior's cheesecake and eating it on the rooftop with that view of The Edge was the highlight of my trip. The room had a full fridge too, which is rare for NYC!

Reality check
You will likely wait longer for the elevator than you did for your coffee.

- You prioritize free breakfast over luxury service
- You plan to be out exploring all day
Чистота и уход
8.5
- Housekeeping: Good but inconsistent. Service is often every other day; you may need to request trash removal.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling. Grout and drains are usually well-maintained.
- Maintenance: Elevators are the main failure point. Rooms are modern but show minor wear.
- Linens & towels: Standard Westin 'Heavenly' quality—crisp and clean.
- Odors & scents: Neutral. No heavy perfumes, but occasional hallway food smells from kitchenettes.

Советы инсайдеров
- ✨
If the elevator line is insane, take the stairs down if you're on a lower floor (1-10).
- ✨
Grab breakfast early (before 8 AM) to avoid the 'Lord of the Flies' scene.

The filtered water tap in the kitchenette is a huge money saver—fill up before you head out.
5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой
💡The 'Destination Fee' is mandatory but often includes a small food/beverage credit you must ask to use.
💡The dishwasher is tiny but functional—bring your own detergent pods if you plan to use it heavily.
💡There are free bikes to borrow, but navigating Midtown traffic on them is not for the faint of heart.
💡The rooftop terrace closes early (often 10-11 PM), so don't plan on a late-night hang.
💡You might see a 'bed bug' report from 2018 online; recent checks show no active infestation, but always check your mattress seams.
