I stay at this hotel frequently for work over many years (since it was the Helmsley). The service from valet to check in is excellent. There are several employees who have been at the hotel for years and they are always smiling, pleasant and so helpful - Hector at valet and Deidre at the front desk are wonderful.

There are several employees who have been at the hotel for years and they are always smiling, pleasant and so helpful - Hector at valet and Deidre at the front desk are wonderful. It says a lot that both have been here for years and they make you feel at home. The hotel rooms are lovely- spacious and clean. I always enjoy staying at the Westin Grand Central. Read less

Extremely well located hotel in the heart of Manhattan just opposite the Grand Central station. Very efficient and accommodating reception . They gave me a upgrade and gave me a late check out also and did their very best to accommodate my requests. The hotel concierge does deliver your luggage to your room. Another added service. Rooms and bathroom are spacious by Manhattan standards and good renovation level. Beds are comfortable. Service is good. Breakfast could have been better. Very small spread and you have to wait a little long if you are coming after 9:30 am to get a table. Otherwise a very good stay. Read less

Nice hotel close to everything you may want to see in Midtown Manhattan. Over five days stay I had two days of breakfast included, which is nice even though you’re allowed just wondering for breakfast meaning either coffee/tea or juice/water. Rooms were clean, and the reception stuff was kind. They were a concierge service who pointed us in the direction of the closest diner to taste some American food. I greatly appreciate the kindness and warm. Welcome of Héctor the doorman. Read less

We met friends in New York and everywhere we went was made so much easier by the doorman Hector ... we loved the free cocktails every evening at the bar. The doorman Hector made us feel welcome , safe and taken care of.. would definitely go back to this hotel again and hope to see Hector again ;-)
