The Westin is in a great location to the extremely busy times square within walking distance to hundreds of shops, restaraunts, bars, theatres, cafes and pretty much anything you'd need.
The hotel itself is huge, with more than 45 floors. It's rooms have pretty amazing views, with ours looking over the city and onto times square. Majority of the staff are helpful however do not go into the bar.

We paid $35 for three (ridiculously small) cokes and half a pint or beer and the staff were extremely rude in telling us after we had waited at the bar for our drinks that we were not to do that despite several waiters standing right next to us chatting whilst we ordered them and not offering us any table sevice.
After leaving, my sister realised she had left her ipod down in the bar area and to her shock when she went and asked whether they had found it, she was asked whether she would pay the waiter who might have found it some money before he even admitted to having it. We would not recommend going to the bar at all unless you want rude staff and extremely overpriced drinks. But the hotel is worth visiting.
