Thanks, squeakr and Wally Bird. I just tried to call the hotel and no one picks up the phone, so I'm not hopeful on getting a read on how ready they are for guests. However, I will be in the city tomorrow on business so maybe I will just take a walk by the hotel and see what it's looking like. I am inclined to risk it. Heck, it's one night.

The one thing I am a little wary of is the location, which as far as I can tell is one block over from the bus parking garage at Port Authority. Could be pretty noisy at all hours. I'll do the walk-by and see how it is.
