Granted $12 at a NYC lobby bar or trendy club is expected however in a RC? I inquired at check out about how it seemed high for a RC and I just got the typical "this is NYC" bitterness from someone probably struggling to live there. I was told that management has decided not to post the drink prices, even on the bill you sign, probably because it leads to more consumption. Granted there was a lot of British tourists in the hotel so $12 is a mere 6 GBP which they would probably not even blink at.
