What is your Priority Club Status?
Platinum Royal Ambassador

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked standard room on Corp Rate ($389), received Studio Corner Room

How are the rooms?
Nice room. 1 large room with a divider, 2 TVs. Bathrooms are great even if small like many NY hotel bathrooms. Shower only, which I like. Good water pressure and temp.

How is the exec. lounge?
Don't have one

What was good and what was bad?
Good service, friendly staff. They make a point to remember your name and welcome you back. Bellmen very helpful. Not the easiest street to catch a cab give the 1 way direction. Bellman got me a towncar when running late and negotiated the price to the airport. Makes one feel good when hotel staff go the extra mile.
I did not raid the mini-bar, but it appeared well stocked.

Nothing to complain about.

What was Welcome Gift?
chocolates, trail-mix and fruit (2 waters)

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Yes
