W Hotel Times Square Review

Overall Impression
The W is a cool place to hang out in Times Square, but it’s not cheap. The hotel is modern, sleek, and well appointed. If it’s your first time in the big apple paying extra for a Times Square view room may be worth it. This is a top notch hotel and priced like one too. Drinks in the W bar are in the $15 range, but Times Square is like a tourist island, so it’s to be expected. I would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to experience the Times Square/Theatre District for the first time or as a romantic getaway when budget is no object.

My Rating: 5 stars

Value Range: $300 + USD per night
