My husband and I live in NYC, but stayed at the Westin Times Square last Thursday night for a "night out." The room was so-so. The outlet in the bathroom is over the toilet, so you literally have to blow your hair dry over the toilet. Another problem - you get no cell phone reception in the hotel, so you have to use the hotel phone to make all of your calls and they charge several dollars for each call (I think about $5 per call with taxes, but can't recall for sure), so it adds up quickly. Also, no cell phone service means no blackberry service, so I had to log on to my computer (pay $15 for internet service) just to see if I had received e-mails. The bed was comfortable and we got a good night sleep even though you can hear noises from other rooms (people sneezing, flushing the toilet, etc., but no street noise). We went to the hotel's bar for a drink and got great service and good drinks. However, the hotel service is not so great - we called the front desk three times and asked for laundry bags, but they were never delivered.
