Just wrapping up my stay here. Rate jumped to $149 for Saturday night, then down to $77.42 (invoice base) and $99.34 all-in for Sunday and Monday. Offered 500 bonus points or a drink at the bar as a welcome amenity as a Plat.
No complaints though this is a very typical NY style mid-range hotel so dated but clean and quite acceptable unless you're used to and expecting IC standards. However, as of mid-February this property leaves the IHG "family" and becomes an independent hotel, rebranded as The Watson.
