yea, hilton!

So thanks to the the eagle-eyed posters in this thread who noted the cheap rate, I'm now staying at this DoubleTree for the next few wks. Who else is around? I've never met a FT-er, I'd be sooooooooooo excited to do so!

Location and rate was good, staff friendly, and a decent breakfast. I got continental breakfast certs for the two nights I was there and "upgraded" to the full breakfast, which was supposed to be an additional $6, but the server told me not to worry about the extra charge.
They still charge for internet access (around $10) and there was a mistake on my bill, but other than that, a decent hotel for the rate ($190 sun night and $240 for mon night).

Penthouse Ballroom at Doubletree Metropolitan NYC
Has anyone seen or been to an event at the Doubletree Metropolitan? I'm searching for a wedding venue for my daughter and the other NYC Hilton properties ballrooms are either too small, too expensive (Waldorf), or too stuffy (NY Hilton). The Millenium is out of the question considering its location. Reviews of the Metropolitan on this site are so-so. I'd love to book a Hilton property so I could use my HH Amex and enjoy a reward stay in Paris!
and enjoy a reward stay in Paris!

I can't comment on the meeting room facilities at this hotel but you should try to negotiate some Hilton Honors points when making the reservation. You typically get 1 point per dollar spent, in addition to whatever you get from the credit card. I've been able to get the properties to give me the full 10 base points plus whatever elite and other bonuses you have.

Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel NYC as low as $114 per night
Not sure why, but I rechecked a reservation I have there for Monday night at $180 or so and the new fares were considerably lower, $120 something, and in putting a few dates later in the week I'm seeing numbers as low as $113.98 for Queen non smoking with the AARP rate (which actually beat the AAA rate for the first time I've seen). I'll take the savings, thanks very much.
This is for next thurs and fri:
I thought yesterday when I checked it was because of the snow and cancelations, but that wouldn't be later in the week too.
In case anybody has New York reservations, make sure to check the rates for next week, they may have dropped.
