HI New York City - Times Square

What is your Priority Club status? Spire

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? We booked two double beds with Manhattan view and received the same. I believe this hotel has only standard rooms so no upgrade available.

How are the rooms? On the small side but we're not in NYC to sit in the room! Basics are all there. Comfortable beds, wardrobe, drawers and desk/chair. Giant TV. Also a fridge and Keurig coffee machine, with mini UHT milk cartons which is a big plus. Bathroom has shower and no bath but good water pressure.

How is the exec. lounge? NA

What was good and what was bad?

Good - one block from subway, at check in received 500 points plus water/trail mix, fitness centre, great value on points booking
Bad - only two lifts for a very tall building. We requested a low floor.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? I booked four nights on points at 20,000 per night which was excellent value. Rate was promotional offer for new hotel and is now 40,000 per night. At this level Staybridge Suites round the corner is better value as it includes breakfast and weekday evening receptions. Cash rate was $312 + tax.
