Stayed here several times over the years when it was a Westin, and recently after change in management.
This is a traditional grand hotel, magnificent lobby, plush public areas, top-notch service. Standard rooms like I stayed in are a bit small and usually don't have views, but do (still) have the Heavenly bed, expensive decor, and nice baths. On my most recent visit, I noted the room could use a little freshening, even though housekeeping is fine.
Location is a mixed bag. Directly on Central Park, which is great in nice weather, but a little removed from midtown.
TripAdvisor doesn't allow half-star ratings but if it did, I would rate 3.5 stars rather than 3.
