Every staff member was so nice and helpful. The room was big! Elevators were a little noisy if your room is close to them. I would stay here again.

Disliked: Staff & service
The staff is incompetent. He gave me a key to a room where another guest was staying . The other guest and I both complained to him. I told him the wake up call is at 4:30 am when I checked in. After he switched room. He forgot to put wake up call at my new room . I missed the train and spend more than 200 dollars to buy another ticket . In the morning, I called the front desk, I said I would not stay in the hotel anymore, because the hotel failed to do the wake-up call. The woman down there asked me why I would do that just because the hotel did not do the wake-up call.

Nice hotel. Room was small. VERY small for a large person. Water pressure in the shower was terrible! And it took minutes for the water to get hot. Otherwise a nice place to stay.

The hotel certainly is a great location in the city. The room was very small and tight. Very tiny walking space around the bed. The water in the shower has very weak pressure.

I had a great experience at this property. The staff was amazing, and it was super clean. It was also away from all of the hustle and bustle but still within walking distance for just about everything you would need. Really great property. Will definitely stay here again.

This hotel was beautiful! Good walking distance from time square and a few nearby dining options. My stay here was pretty much perfect! The only comment I have is in regard to the AC unit in my room. I noticed that as it turned on/off to regulate the temperature, it made a loud noise that alarmed me often. Besides this very minor flaw, I enjoyed my time and I would definitely visit again!

Booked this hotel for a weekend in the city and had a great experience! My group utilized the free bag drop that the hotel offered since our transportation into the city arrived a few hours before our check-in. We had the king-suite room and it was great. Everything was clean and we had no issues. The location was also great, just a few blocks from the Chrysler building and Grand Central station. I will definitely be checking availability here again next time I am in the city!

I have stayed a the Westgate 3 times in the last year. The rooms are great. Since this is a renovated old hotel, each room is unique not cookie cutter like many new hotels. The staff is friendly and accommodating. On my most recent stay my room was at the back of the hotel so there was very little street noise. I will definitely be back.

I’m not usually one to write much about hotel staff in my reviews, but I do want to recognize the team at Westgate for all their hard work and helpfulness! My family and I stayed here for 4 nights and had a really pleasant stay. Rooms were made up every day (which is actually rare these days), everything was clean, we felt safe, and they did a great job renovating a really old building to make it feel more modern and fun.

Overall a nice stay my few complaints are this, we asked for extra towels 3 times. There were 4 of us and only given 3 towels… secondly they tacked on another charge upon check in. Not the normal deposit that gets returned but a “destination fee” no explanation for it, but I paid it because I didn’t know what to do. The hotel is lovely, generally the staff were welcoming and friendly. I honestly would absolutely stay again just not the perfect stay this time.

The staff was very nice and helpful. They offered to call us a taxi when we left the hotel. We had a luxe room and it was spacious and clean. The street traffic seemed to be quiet at night. Only thing was the walls are thin. When the hotel neighbors slam their doors shut, it was so loud it was like someone was opening our hotel door.

This is a small, boutique like hotel....row home size, narrow and tall. Recent renovated, it is nice. At first we were surprised by the small size of our room, but adapted since we were barely there. The room was nice, herringbone wood floors, updated bathroom.... What I found annoying was the tv situation, they have an app you download to run your netflix etc through the tv...very relevant, great idea. Except it didn't work, we wasted a lot of time trying to get it to work only to find out it was discontinued years ago. Their cable is slow as molasses on a brisk nyc day. First, you have to happen upon the guide of channels 30-1 to be exact, then when u click the up or down button to look at the next screen, u have to wait about 10 seconds before it moves...there are no directions on operating the tv and im assuming there were no movie options. The other thing I think could be improved upon was the "dining" option. The tavern advertisement around the hotel makes it seem like there are dining options...but there is no dining at all, just a tiny market. Again, not a huge deal but it would maybe helpful to tell us what is immediately around and/or how we could get food delivered if we wanted to. They do have a bar, which is great and they do have an espresso machine to make strong good coffees...all positives in my book. My sister was here at the same time and stayed at the Hyatt...it was bigger but our customer service was way better. I would choose this hotel again.
