    The hotel was originally built in 1907, they have all the classic details displayed for you, it's like a hotel/museum. Location is GREAT right in front of union square.

    Beautiful hotel and comfortable accommodation. Immediate proximity to Union Square and the buzz of the city. Beware - internet connection is appalling and not suited to the business traveller.

    The many historical displays In the lobby as well as menus books and other items from the turn-of-the-century are truly a great way to spend About half an hour.

    The front entry is so glamorous. Marble with such a detailed ceiling... I read the history of this hotel and it is pretty great. Check out its Wilkipedia page.

    Decent remodeled rooms that are a tad on the small side. Comfortable Westin beads. The Clock bar is one of the best in the Westin system. A busy hotel. Check in can take a awhile.

    I never stayed here but I've gone to a lot of events here like fashion shows at the very top penthouse or just hung out at the Clock Bar. This hotel however has a lot of history.

    This hotel has mixed reviews online but I've had a great experience so far. Stay in a high floor in the tower wing facing Union Square; rooms are newer and have great views.

    Location is awesome, surrounded by premium designers boutiques and dep stores. room service is excellent the only down side is that rooms needs better sound proofing

    Walk past the reception, make a left and ride the glass elevator for the best views overlooking the bay. Then hit the Clock Bar for an inventive cocktail – try the Hawaii 5.1.

    A solidly convenient location. Interesting characters in the hotel bar. High ceilings in the rooms make them feel more luxurious.

    Has a Hertz counter in the lobby, which is choice. Other than that, your standard tired Westin. Get a room on a high floor and you'll have a nice view of Union Square and the water.

    Huge hotel means big gym and big bars and restaurants on site in tourist central area. Small rooms though.

    I always opt for a room in the old part of the hotel, so charming! High ceilings, spacious rooms and chandeliers

    Classic, clean hotel with a decent view. Convenient location. Gym is not bad - lots of elliptical and treadmill.

    The glass elevator ride is something special. Head down the hallway opposite reception and ride any car to the 32nd floor.

    So, so crowded. Location is "great" if you want to be in the middle of Union Sq. with thousands of other tourists.

    Centre of the city - Union Sq. It's a heritage hotel. Free Wifi in the lobby. Lots of shopping stores around the hotel.

    Centrally located on union square but the rooms are lacking a bit. Service was good, gym is nice and very clean though. Overnight parking is a bit absurd at $58/night for guests.

    The elevator ride is amazing- if you can get a room key to use it. Try going all the way to the top to check out the view.

    If you stay only for two night take the green choice and don't get room service. You get to choose between free wifi, bonus points or a free movie I think. Plus you get a $5 voucher for food/drinks

    Some great views, but it can be loud and crowded. If you get a room up high it’s nice.

    Even if you're not staying at the hotel, ride the glass elevators up to the top for great views overlooking Union Square. Come back and do it again at night.

    Make sure to see the Shoe Doctor near the fitness center. It's not a shoe shine; you are visiting the doctor! He is going to be on The Discovery Channel.
