Westin at TimesSquare is a great hotel. Its new and clean, with a very modern style. I would definitely recommend it over the older hotels. Rooms are pretty small, but thats because the bed and bathroom takes up so much space. I personally think that is more important anyways. The heavenly bed mentioned by the above poster is indeed huge. You can fit a whole family on that thing! The double shower head is overhyped. Water pressure is weak to begin with and when split into two I don't think its adequate. Though some people swear by it. Other then that the bathroom is nice and spacious. Make sure to ask for a corner room on a higher floor. Corner rooms offer two sets of huge windows which is always nice for the smaller rooms you find in NY hotels. They seem to be more then happy to accomodate such a request space permitting. Makes a huge difference. Enjoy your stay.

You're right. I shouldn't be accusing them of trying to "fool" us. I just mentioned that since another user said on the PL forum that he should've gone with Hotwire instead because he was almost sure they were offering Le Park Meridien. Like me he probably thought the amenities matched Le Park perfectly... without paying attention to location! I was hoping they have the location wrong! :) Anyways Westin at TimesSquare is a great hotel. Brand new and very clean with a very modern style. I would definitely recommend it over the older hotels.

I was tempted by the similarities between this hotel's description and Le Park Meridiens (found at Vacation Package area) and decided to take the plunge! Oops! I think hotwire is purposely trying to mislead people into accepting this offer thinking it is Le Parker. I don't think Le Parker is in the TS district, but on their site on the vacation page they show it right in TS! Oh and as for amenities... they are exactly the same as the ones listed for Le Parker. I know many people might be tempted so beware! Anyways $124 is a good price so I'm not complaining... good luck to you all! P.S: This site is awesome. I actually stopped by here before TOBB so maybe word is spreading about this new alternate site! Keep up the great work!
