Also booked Axon over new years eve.
I am traveling with two younger kids so we can't wait a long time for a good viewing spot. Any chance of getting into the action somehow by leaving the hotel around 10 or 11pm and maybe seeing the ball drop?
What's the situation right outside the hotel like during new years eve?
I hear there is no walking around, is it just going to be packed to the gills right outside the hotel too?
TIA

One year I was able to see it from one of the windows in the hall on the top floor but the past two years they have put something on those windows to block the view

Look back on previous threads (search this thread for New Years) and you will see police will immediately direct you away from TS as soon as you go out the front door.

Doubletree Suites Times Square
I am there for a week starting next Tuesday. I got an email today saying I could go online and choose my room (I am HH Gold). I had already called the hotel and they said they would upgrade me to the Exec floor.
Any tips on what room to choose if I a) just get the king suite I reserved and b) do get the upgrade, which room should I request? Looking for the best view possible on a high floor.
Any suggestions as to what is the best king room in the house?

Hi all,
i am currently looking to book 5 nights in NY this november, for 3 adults and was considering staying at this property. I am a HHDiamond and I can see reports on this thread stating that breakfast was comped only for 2 guests, but these posts are 18 months old. Did anybody stayed there recently and experienced the same thing ? Or did the situation changed ? I understand they give to Diamonds full breakfast buffet for 2, but can we opt for the continental breakfast instead and get the 3 breakfasts free ?
Cheers,

When will scaffolding disappear?
Stayed at this property in December 2012. Scaffolding covered the front of the property. Have another reservation for this property in November 2013.
Was in NYC this past week and noticed the scaffolding still covers the front of the property. Does anyone know when this scaffolding will come down?

Doubletree Times Square - Free Hot Breakfast for Gold
My wife and I are at the DT for a 6 night GLON award stay that we made pre-devaluation. My wife is a Gold and we were given a card for each day which entitles us to the full hot breakfast.

Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square-New York City Trip Reports and Reviews
I have a three night award reservation here (two rooms) over New Year. Will the hotel contact me regarding paid upgrade options or should I contact them? Would like an 01 room if at all possible.

All I saw were the upgrade offers in the online reservation summary / management.
