Usually, realtors are the ones who say “location, location, location”, but if you’re working with a travel agent, they’ll probably tell you that same thing about hotels in New York. Having a centrally located hotel in New York can make all the difference in the world. The Westgate is located in Midtown East Manhattan and is within walking distance to several local attractions. It’s also right next to the renowned Grand Central Station, which provides transportation to most of New York’s most popular areas.
