• The bed was very comfortable.
• Rooms were small and cramped.

“While the amenities of the hotel were very nice (comfortable bed, bathrobes provided, granite counter tops), the rooms were very small and the bathroom had almost no counter space and poor lighting. And the staff was very friendly, but requests had to be repeated and housekeeping knocked on our door to ask when we were checking out that seemed a little rude when it was hours before check-out time. The location is great, Time Square and the Subway are easy walking distance. We had a nice stay, but I would probably rate this hotel 3 stars instead of 4.”

• Concierge is very helpful.
• Everything was great and have no complaints.

“Everything about this hotel was more than I expected. The staff was kind and helpful, the room was clean, the air conditioning worked, and they even provide a turn down service. The furniture is a bit old, and the rooms are small, but not uncomfortably so, although it was a challenge to unfold the ironing board. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.”

• Very clean, nice bathrooms and comfortable beds.
• Cleaning staff was very noisy outside rooms, Rooms were average size.

“An overall good experience, but the price is a little too high on a per night basis vs. other Four Star hotels in NYC.”

• Staff was friendly and tried to compensate for the overall deficiency of the hotel.
• Sheets were stained and tattered; room was small; no view.

“The hotel room was small dusty and dark; the linens were stained and frayed; the room phone and lamp did not work. I was very disappointed with this hotel.”

• They had apples in the lobby - comfortable pillows.
• Small, overpriced, and not so attentive to our needs.

“Mediocre, definitely not a 4 star hotel.”

• Location couldn't be better. Close to NYC attractions.
• One bellman gave my wife attitude about retrieving bags.

“Room: The hotel was pleasant to stay at. King sized beds were luxurious and the black out curtains made it easy to sleep in and relax. Rooms provided ample space and storage for our luggage. Service: My wife is from England and she forgot the plug adapters for her hair-dryer, straightened and laptop. One call to the front desk and an adapter was at our door in a couple minutes. Literally all but one staff member was courteous and professional. Location: You can't really ask for a better location. So close to Times Square, Broadway Shows, 5th Ave Shopping, and Central park without all of the business of crowds. For good eats, I recommend 'smilers' or 'smileys' on the corner of 54th and Madison. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious and they have a hot and cold salad bar which has a variety of gourmet salads and exotic cuisine.”

• The rooms were very clean and spacious. The staff was prompt to our needs.
• We thought we ordered double beds, but received a king. It might of been because we got in late.

“We were very pleased with everything about the Hotel including the price considering it is NY. It was close to everything also. The only thing I can think of that might not appeal to some is that it did not have a pool. It did not make a difference for me. I did not go to NY to swim in a Hotel pool. When I go back I will book with them again.”

• Without request upgraded us to a bigger room.
• Street fair was in front of hotel upon arrival, made for confusion on check-in not hotels issue.

“This was a great experience from the initial call to request 2 double beds, vice one king until we checked out. My husband who never tips valets or doormen, actually felt it necessary. Room and bathroom, were very big by NY standards. Location was great. Definitely recommending to friends.”

• Did not accommodate request for two double beds as requested two weeks prior.

“Omni Berkshire is a beautiful hotel located steps from the world famous Fifth Avenue and just 10 minutes from Central Park. The hotel is located just minutes walk to many midtown landmarks, like Times Square, Rock Center, Radio City, Bryant Park, Grand Central Station etc. If location is important, this is the place to be.”

• Beautiful, convenient, exceptional staff and friendliness!
• Limited menu at restaurant.

“The hotel room was beautiful. Loved the personal robes. The staff was gracious and accommodating. Location was perfect for Times Square, Central Park, all amenities. Short cab ride to all locations. Valet parking was reasonable and the doormen were awesome!”

• Good midtown location.
• Furniture and decor was far from modern. TV was old.

“I wouldn't recommend this to anyone for anything slightly modern. The furniture and decor are what you'd expect to find in a Holiday Inn circa 1999.”

“I would give the hotel an excellent review for the cleanliness of the rooms - friendly staff - convenient location. I appreciated the good pillows and quality bed!”

• The Original "W" still has a hip stylish vibe - the lobby is great for people watching.
• Standard rooms are small, even by New York standards.

“Standing at Lex and 50th, the original W is a great base for exploring both the shopping on 5th and Madison Avenues, Rockefeller Plaza and Times Square/Broadway Theatres. Proximity to the underground also means you can be in the heart of edgy SoHo in just a few minutes. The hotel itself has a great youthful vibe, and the lobby and public spaces have a modern up to date feel. The guest rooms are undergoing a gradual renovation which appears to be working its way down from the upper floors of the hotel, and if money is no object, the E-Wow suite at this hotel is stunning. This W is for you if you like a happening scene a step removed from the tourist Mecca at Times Square. If you want a genteel lobby and high tea, look elsewhere.”

• View from the room.

“This was a nice hotel. The view from our room was of a building under construction and the TV was in an awkward place. Overall the hotel was nice, the staff was excellent and it was in a great location.”

• The room, old fashioned dark uncomfortable mattress.

“Perfect for shoppers going to Bergdorf Saks Madison Ave and 5th avenue shops. It is a nice clean hotel with good concierge and room service. All staff were very pleasant, but there was no pizzas. I was surprised it got a AAA 4 star rating because the TVs are old as is the decor.”

• Nothing.
• Unaccommodating, unpleasant, condescending, and arrogant.

• I particularly like the size of the room and the cleanliness. Never thought it would be a nice as it was. I was extremely impressed. I will be back.
• I did not like the high prices of the condiments left in the room, but hey, "that new York". Other than that everything was great.

“The hotel was beautiful. I like walking in and seeing those beautiful red delicious apples. We had one several times the two days we were there, and they were good and healthy. The entire staff greeted us and made us feel welcome. They were all professional and very friendly, and I felt right at home being there. I just think that the room service fee is a little on the expensive side. The food was excellent though. I cant wait to visit New York again, because this is where I/we will be staying. Stay there for yourself. You won't be disappointed.”
