This trip was a personal/business trip for me, and I paid for the hotel myself. The goal was to find an inexpensive hotel in a walking distance from the place where I had to attend a training workshop. This hotel was a mile away and the rate was the best at the time of booking among many other hotels in Manhattan. When I arrived I was asked by the staff if I was checking in and taken to a separate room. The room I booked was not available, so they upgraded me to the Club 5000 room, which also had a free breakfast included in the deal. My room was in the corner. It was huge (actually two rooms) and it was a great view from two sides of the building. I guess, guests in the Club 5000 get better service, because my room was very clean and had everything changed daily when I was out. The internet was also free at the Club lounge. I really had nothing I could complain about and would stay there again if I was mindful of the hotel price. I guess I was a little more lucky than the other guys who didn't get upgraded to Club 5000.
