W

Not an option

first time staying in W downtown. you will need the quietness after work. so peaceful here..

If you get a corner suite at the W on a higher floor, it’s actually quite nice

I’ve stayed at pretty much every SPG and Marriott property in midtown, other than the St Regis. The best one all around, believe it or not, is the Residence Inn Central Park. The W Times Square is disappointingly cramped. The Westin is a bit nicer inside but is right across the street from Port Authority Bus Terminal. The Sheraton is dated and massive and badly in need of an upgrade, not to mention more gym equipment but probably has the better location of the W, Westin, and Sheraton. A little further from Times Square but still close enough is the Parker Meridien, which is probably the best SPG of the ones I’ve stayed at.

Thanks K1, unfortunately my only two options are W/Westin. Looking for the more quiet hotel so looks like Westin it is!

Neither
