I wonder what the setup at the Andaz 5th Avenue is like.
Andaz lobby @ 5th Ave has a small check in area with a few welcoming hosts and a living room setting behind it
other than newspapers and some bottled water coffee etc
I don’t remember to much else
I usually go up to the room straight away but I admit to enjoying seeing a physical newspaper as they are a dying breed these days.
And if I haven't read it that day always take one if still available
I would think typically the hotel is small and intimate enough so they generally know their in house guests
