My SNAs cleared to the Family Suite and they upgraded me beyond that to a suite with a Central Park view. Lovely staff and team. I highly recommend BOTH this and the St. Regis. If STR Bentley service is in operation by the time you visit, that experience is pretty memorable.
Ended up in Junior Suite, which was fine - sofa bed was a little mushy, but son didnt mind. Man, the location is great - as a former NY'er w friends in WaHi, proximity to trains made it super convenient.
