Westing GC - Wedding Weekend

My spouse and I married in NYC in August 2025 and booked a large room block at The Westin Grande Central. With nearly 100 guests staying at the hotel, it was crucial for us to find a venue that not only met our high expectations but also pleased our family and friends. We’re delighted to say that both our hopes and expectations were more than fulfilled.
First, working with the Westin's management team to coordinate the room block was a smooth and professional experience. From the planning stages through the wedding weekend, Jerron Garret was exceptionally attentive, responsive, and accommodating. He managed various special requests from ourselves and our guests, including last-minute room changes, dining requests, and welcome weekend amenities. Jerron’s quick responses and collaborative approach made the process seamless and stress-free.
Second, regarding the hotel itself, our guests were highly satisfied with the location. Situated in Midtown East, the hotel is within walking distance of many landmarks such as Grand Central, the UN, the Chrysler Building, and Times Square. With convenient access to multiple subway lines, guests could easily explore other neighborhoods around the city. In terms of accommodations, guests appreciated that the rooms were larger than typical NYC hotel rooms, and also enjoyed the hotel’s gym and bar.
Overall, my spouse and I were truly relieved and delighted to have chosen The Westin GC. We are grateful to the entire staff for making our wedding weekend unforgettable.

I've stayed at this Westin several times even before its renovation and it has always been a pleasant stay. I wanted to take the time to write a review this time because Alexandra at the front desk went above and beyond to make sure my stay went as plan, the customer service was impeccable. I have encounter her before and always felt her friendly vibe but this time assisting me with minor concerns, I had really allowed me to see that she takes pride in her job. The other staff I encounter were also lovely I'm just making a special note on Alexandra because she assisted me when I needed help with a few issues which she resolved in no time.
Highly recommend this hotel if you're visiting nyc. Very modern. Close to grand central which helps you get around nyc quickly by train and he staff is amazing. :)

Bad.
Aug 20, 2025Cindy S
Extremely disappointing. Coffee machine was filthy. Water not delivered to room for 36 hours after 2 requests. Felt rushed at breakfast, table not cleared timely. No fans in bathrooms. Will not stay here again.
Great hotel, centrally located with friendly, helpful staff. Hector the doorman was epic!
