I have an upcoming stay at this hotel with my family. This is our first time to NYC, and I chose this property based mainly on location. As a Plat, I also chose for lounge access. Just how bad is it in the morning for breakfast? I was hoping we could get going a little faster with our day and maximize sightseeing time by not having to go out for breakfast. Will we be able to get in & out quickly? We're not picky about food--cereal, bagels, toast, yogurt are fine for us.

Is there water/sodas available throughout the day?

Would it be appropriate for me to call the Plat concierge and request a club level room (I booked a traditional room)? I'm a new Plat and not sure what is reasonable to request. From what I gather the club level rooms are quieter.

Thanks for your advice!
