Funny...I had to look up the "blue rinse" reference. Does that mean I am too young to stay at Lowell? LOL
I have always found Pen NY to be very impersonal, and I am a fan of the chain generally. The times I have stayed there, Chicago was better.
I guess I have to be careful about ageism - the fact that the crowd seems older obviously doesn't mean that people shouldn't stay there. But wow - having breakfast in the dining room is like eating at your Granny's - which is interesting. I have had very nice stays there in any event.
