That being said, the Ambassador Desk is very helpful for accomodating requests during your stay.

I’m Spire Ambassador and booked 3 nights in October on 40.000 points/night that I consider as good deal comparing to cash rates that are 300+ per night.
That will be my first stay in this hotel so I would like to know some details in advance:
- When paying with points do I still pay resort fee of 35 USD/night?
- What is the price for breakfast if not included? Any discount for Ambassadors?
- For how much I can buy club access? Any discount for Ambassadors?
- What is usual upgrade form standard room?
Thanks in advance!

I stayed this July combining Ambassador certificate for 2 nights and 3 point nights (40.000/night). Resort fee wasn't charge but I guess it's because there was no service - that time bar, Club and breakfast were still closed because of COVID measures.
I was upgraded to Premium room, don't know what is difference but overall I liked the hotel and room size and setting.

Seems they returned F&B service so charging fee again. F&B credit is part of destination fee package. I don't know how many point is now per night but 40.000 that I paid in July found as good value for quality ratio. Large rooms for NYC standards!

I found a night at 36k but cancelled my stay and booked at the HY36 midtown crown plaza instead since they don’t charge destination fee for award nights.

Looking at IC Barclay for later in February.
What would a room upgrade be if I booked the "Barclay King"? About $35 more than standard room.
Seems Club Lounge is closed, and if there isn't a room type above it other than (not allowed for upgrade) suites, maybe I should go lower.
Platinum Ambassdor here.
Thanks!

We did stay here for 3 nights in February. Happy with the hotel-- great lobby, and we had booked a breakfast included rate and that was excellent. Absolutely not worth the $50 buffet cost-- only about $25 per person when we booked it with the room.... but high quality ingredients.
Booked and received a Deluxe King. Next day asked why we didn't get an upgrade and was told we could move to a higher category room. It was nicer, but not amazing. Definitely would stay again if prices were reasonable (around $170+breakfast).

I stayed at the Hotel Lexington last weekend, which is caddy-corner from The Barclay. I got upgraded to a high floor with a balcony and was able to take some nice pictures.
The Barclay is more handsome from this angle, I think. I didn't know the rooftop patio existed - not sure if it was part of a suite or an event space.
