Were you happy with the hotel/stay?
Generally happy.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?

Booked the cheapest room ($589 queen w/ breakfast).

Received king suite, corner room 7th floor.

How are the rooms?

The place is showing its age. Could use some minor updates.

How is the exec. lounge?


N/A

What was good and what was bad?


Good: Efficient check-in (but no one at Ambassador desk), room upgrade guaranteed. Not charged for minibar drinks.

Bad: No welcome gift. Minibar was not replenished throughout stay. Check-out at Ambassador desk the woman was a bit rude. Room service coffee tasted nasty.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?

For New York, $589 is pretty standard for busy weekends. I would return, but it is still a bit pricey.
