THE W HOTEL – 54th & Lexington - NYC
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. In all fairness, when I visited the lobby was under renovations. This was not a problem for me.
What was a problem was that I requested and confirmed two double beds. When I checked in I was told I was ... Read review

THE W HOTEL – 54th & Lexington - NYC
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. In all fairness, when I visited the lobby was under renovations. This was not a problem for me.
What was a problem was that I requested and confirmed two double beds. When I checked in I was told I was getting one king bed. Obviously, depending upon your travelling companion this could be a problem. I was not the only guest to suffer this calamity. Others were arguing over it when I arrived.
The girl at the front desk chastised me for using an on-line reservation service. Incidentally, this is what I always use. I have never had a problem at any other hotel. I had called THE W HOTEL personally and confirmed the bed configuration. (It is always a good idea to call the HOTEL and confirm everything). I told the desk clerk this. We argued briefly. Then, she said, “Well, if you don’t like it you can try to rent another room someplace else”. In NYC---at the last minute---I don’t think so! She offered to send up a rollaway bed and said, “take it or leave it”. So, I took it. I don’t know if it’s just me, but at $250.00 a night a “cot” is not my idea of my money’s worth.
There was no bellhop. When I arrived upstairs, there was a lovely chaise lounge in the room. I opted to sleep on it and cancelled the rollaway bed. The room had a mini-bar (high-priced) and web-TV. The décor was an interesting modern Mediterranean. The bath amenities were excellent.
During our stay, a taxicab door bashed into my too-tall travelling companion’s head. That evening, a lump and severe headache ensued. I called the front desk, explained the situation and requested ice. I was not impressed by the 20-minute wait for the ice to arrive under the circumstances.
Housekeeping staff was very helpful. The complimentary continental breakfast (coffee and limited assortment of donuts) left something to be desired.
At checkout, the same desk clerk was very pleasant. A distinguished gentleman guest was irate because he went out and returned with a guest to a room that had not been cleaned. If push came to shove, I would stay at the W HOTEL again. It would not be my first choice.
Advantages: Well positioned, close to a lot of attractions Disadvantages: Dull, no views, pricey
...wall and metal chimney and the concierge often looked like he could not be bothered.
On the whole I would not reccommend this hotel, try alternatives of the Marriott (30 seconds walk away) or its sister hotel the W on Times Square (far supoerior if budget allows). ...

Advantages: Cheap, right by Times Square, friendly staff Disadvantages: Rooms may be too small for some fussy travellers!
great exercise lol, but a nightmare for someone who was 6 months pregnant and needed the loo every 5 minutes (to my partners annoyance!).
On our first night, we wanted to explore so we got a map from the hotel and headed off to the Rockefeller Centre to see the world famous Christmas tree. It only took us about 15 mins to walk there, and it was so easy to find! The hotel couldn't be in a better location, and best of all, if you forget the hotels address when you get in a taxi, just asked to be dropped off in Times Square, and you are all but there!

friendly. And with a whole city to explore ? what else do you really need? Yes, sometimes we all would like to stay in a place that is luxurious and a level above our own homes. But if you just need a place to rest for the night and store your luggage, the Comfort Inn Manhattan is truly a ?Home away from Home?.
