I got a good rate for this hotel for a recent overnight stay. Our prepaid rate was for a single bed (king) room, but my daughter and I would have preferred a room with two beds. At check-in, they graciously switched us to a room with two queen-sized beds for no extra charge. Although we had two computers with us, we were able to log in on both for a single internet charge.
The room was small, but clean and comfortable (no fridge) with a clean, updated bathroom. Very few electrical outlets, so bring a power strip.
They have an odd elevator system in which you must punch a very 2002-style touch screen on the lobby floor with the number of your destination floor. You enter the elevator and it takes you straight to your destination. This seems to create a backlog of people wanting to go to different floors. Also, the touch screen was apparently broken part of the time, necessitating an over-ride by the elevator-guard. An odd system!
We left our car with the parking valet. Upon retrieval I discovered that he had changed every setting for my seat and had also changed the (not electric) headrest in my car. Kind of annoying to drive off, negotiating midtown New York traffic, while trying to restore my seat and headrest to its normal state. I want my tip back. ;-)
