8.8/10 Excellent! (2,398 reviews)
I've been to NYC quite a few times, and I've never stayed in a hotel that had a lot space, but the Westin had all the space I needed. Hotel is convenient to many shopping, restaurants and in walking distance to many attractions including Time Square.

Mar 1, 2020If you're in the area, hope off a tour bus from Amsterdam, walk a couple blocks down 112th and you can get a great meal at a decent price at Tom's Restaurant, which was Monk's in Seinfeld. It's not "in the city" like on the show, the area is mainly residential, nice and quaint. Then you can walk around the University campus. There's also a beautiful historic gothic style cathedral church on Amsterdam at 112th worth checking out.
