SO and I are spending a long weekend in New York, currently with a SPG redemption at W Union Square, Jan 12-15. I can change to any other Starwood property that doesn't exceed to 20k/night rate of the W.
Normally I'd be down with attending a Trump protest rally

, but this is a major celebration trip for us (dinner at Le Bernardin, Hamilton, etc.) so we'd really rather not get caught up in it any more than necessary.
Stay there. You'll be fine. If there happens to be a protest, it will add to the excitement, but it's unlikely to be a huge inconvenience.
