The Affinia is a decent hotel in a good location but is it worth $420 a night for a king bed and a kitchenette? That's what they gouged me for on average for three nights. Like a lot of NYC hotels the Affinia rates fluctuate with demand - the week of November 5 was awful likely due to the marathon and other events. But still $420 a night for a decent but hardly 5 start hotel? Ought to be a law against it! In fact I noted the rack rate card in the room had no price on it!
But it's not just the Affinia but just about every other hotel in Manhattan was in on the scam that week! As for the Affinia, decent hotel by NYC standards but not five start by any stretch of the imagination. Next time I'll stay at the Crown Plaza or Marriot where at least I'll get some loyalty points after being scalped.
