I recently visited NYC which I do annually. I booked a reservation at the W New York on Lexington but they were not able to accomodate my needs and suggested I stay at the W Union Square. The location is great of the Union Square W it is in the middle of great shopping and very close to the Subway. That was my favorite part of this hotel. The rooms are larger than the W New York, but I found them to not be as well 'styled'. Also, the building is very old... and one big problem is you can hear a lot between the walls. The other issue I had with this W is that the service is not up to par with other W's I have stayed at. The front desk manager was excellent. Front desk and doormen/bell staff was just 'OK'. Upon check-in I requested a roll-a-way bed and never got it. I had to call again hours later to ask again. Also, the doormen/bell staff are not as friendly/eager to assist with getting you a taxi or taking your luggage. The yes I would recommend is a 'barely' recommend. Unless you need a large room and must have the Union Square location I would highly recommend you stay at the W New York on Lexington Ave. The rates are generally lower at the W New York, also.
