Convenient Location, Great Staff. Erica K. is a Rockstar
Pros:

Husband and I visited NYC to do a mini Broadway tour. Decided to stay at this property, because we really like heavenly beds and the location was convenient to most of the things we wanted to do. Hotel did not disappoint. But the real highlight of our stay at the Westin Grand Central was Ms. Erica K. (front desk agent). She was professional, efficient, helpful, and fun to chat with. She made our stay in New York even more enjoyable.

Disappointing
Pros:

Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing hotel stays we’ve had.

We booked two rooms, but from the moment we arrived there were constant issues: one room was missing the advertised sofa bed, there was no complimentary water despite being told it would be provided, no slippers, an empty shower gel dispenser, a broken bedside lamp, a wardrobe door that wouldn’t close properly, and one of the showers stopped working. When I reported the shower, I was told nobody was available to fix it and that I should remind reception the following day. Surely it’s the hotel’s responsibility to follow up on maintenance, not the guest’s.

Customer service was very inconsistent. Most staff were friendly and one manager genuinely tried to make things right by waiving the destination fee for the remainder of our stay, which we appreciated. However, a member of staff in the Starbucks café was extremely rude, and another receptionist made a simple request for replacement room keys unnecessarily difficult.

The destination fee wasn’t clearly explained, the café prices were incredibly expensive (around $10 for a can of Celsius), and when the destination fee was waived, nobody told us we’d also lose the associated dining credit.

The beds were very comfortable, but overall the stay was a constant series of avoidable frustrations. For the price, we expected far better attention to detail and customer service. Disappointingly, the experience was poor enough that we cancelled our planned stay at another Westin later in our trip in San Francisco
