This was our first time at the W hotel downtown - we got a really good deal on their website and we thought to give it a try. We brought our bicycles and even prior to coming they said they can accomodate either in storage or in our rooms (which we preferred). Upon arriving, the door ambassadors greeted us and...

My job required me to travel to NYC on several short trips and I stayed at the W for one of those trips. Big mistake. The construction noise is unbearable. The hotel is literally across the street for world trade center construction. When I asked to be moved to a room on the opposite side of the building I was...

This hotel is tragically hip. I have stayed at Ws before and haven't felt this way, so to me there's something about this one in particular. It started with the completely black foyer with only an elevator and the far away door to the bar. This is a very sparse and non-welcoming way to be greeted. Then I went to...

My Husband and I have stayed in many W Hotels and the service and decor is always excellent. I'm surpirsing him with a trip to NYC where we'll spend our Anniversary at the new downtown W which will be new for us. The reason I'm writing this review before is because I just got off the phone with reservations and...

I stayed during hotel's softng so my comments are general as many services were bedding in. The hotel is downtown and with a bit of walking it's possible to get linked into subway system and go uptown. I think the immediate area around the hotel lacks any good restaurants and bars. Rooms were not up to usual standard for...

Location: Close in distance to: SoHo, Chinatown, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, and South Street Seaport. The WWC is right across the street; although there is construction- we did not hear anything inside the hotel. The PATH train is about 1 block north of the hotel. I definitely recommend taking this from New Jersey. We also never had a problem...

I stayed at the W downtown for just a night and had an amazing time. The hotel is so beautiful!! The room was very comfortable and I slept so sound in the bed. They have a beautiful wrap around balcony behind check-in which I can imagine will be great in the warmer weather. The hotel is located next to ground...

My recent stay at the W downtown was wonderful! Upon checking in we were told that we were receiving a free upgrade due to the fact that the room we had booked was not available. We were given a room 20 stories up overlooking the ground zero site which was very eyeng! The hotel was trendy and beautiful, the...

Ok so the hotel is a little far from the touristy times square but worthwhile. It's a brand new hotel, with amazing interior decor. Just an fyi - our room bathroom shower had the frosted glass wall which was an adjustment that we didn't expect. There was a few hiccups in the beginning with the bedding arrangements in the room...
