Hotel was conveniently located and room was spacious. However, although we booked the room for 3 people, they did not have a comforter. So, we had to make do with extra blankets which wasn't very comfortable during winter.

Very sad reflection on the Westin brand. The only effective interaction was with the cleaning staff who was trying their best. Management ineffective - ineffective communication between staff and management. Waited for elevators 20 minutes and gave up. Took stairwells only to discover tens of other people like us trying to get out of the hotel, or to their rooms that way. Customer service at the central Westin number non-existent. Concierge and front desk could not be reached over more than 20 minutes of repeated calls. Will think hard before staying at a Westin again after the experience at this property.

Disliked: Amenities
Well let me tell you , place was overpriced to what it looked like. The front lobby just looked unkept. Bar area was ok. I thought that it would be nicely decorated due to the holidays but it was kinda basic. The restroom was outdated, chipped corners , chipped bathtub . When I walked in. I had asked the front area rep to make sure to put the hold on a different card. I gave her the card she swiped it and I told her to remove the previous card hotel amount was held. Well guess what, 4000$ dollars was held on BOTH of my credit cards !! So total of 8k! And it didn’t get cleared until I got back home which was annoying. So never again will I stay there . Bad experience.

The room 1619 was nice but had two sets of windows, one in the front andbthe 2 rear windows that were drafty with cold airbseeping through. This made the room colder than normal.

The Westin at Grand Central was amazing!
We had an amazing trip to NYC, and our hotel was in a fantastic location. The service was excellent; however, I gave the hotel an overall rating of 4 stars due to the slow elevators—perhaps not all of them were operational—as well as the long lines for breakfast.

The property was okay. Nothing special. When the time came to check out however, we waited 30 minutes for an elevator and then had to walk down eight flights of stairs with all of our baggage because they would not arrange anything for the people in the middle of the hotel to get an elevator. Apparently they had almost 400 people checking out and they made no accommodations for anyone other than those on the top floor.
