What was good and what was bad?
Good - location is both good but also very bad. Good as you are close to a lot of sites and transport links. Bad because this is one of the filthiest/seediest ares of Manhattan. It has always been like this, but since 8 years of DeBlasio and the Pandemic. Crime, drugs and broken/homeless people are everywhere.
The new breakfast for Diamonds was great.
Bad - no upgrade. Area is awful.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Decent value for money.
