I'll be staying at the hotel on cash plus points for a couple of nights next week. In the notes, I requested highest floor, quiet, far from elevator, corner room. The reservations says Hudson River view.
Anything also I might want to email the hotel about, in terms of specific floor, location, what side of the hotel to stay on, etc?
Thanks for any help!

Ask at check-in to make sure to get such a room.
You may send an email but room allocation is made upon availability.

Had both on West and East side. East side was better since it was corner room with a view of Times Square.

Just checked in at CP Times Square. Got the room I booked on points with no apparent recognition of Platinum status. I asked for a room overlooking Times Square and was told "we've got you one on a high floor with a Hudson River view" ... which is what I booked ... maybe the high floor was an upgrade?
No complaints about the room though.
Quite different from last night in San Francisco

I stayed at this Hotel this time last year (2 rooms on Points) and got free breakfast and free wi-fi for BOTH rooms.
I cannot praise the Hotel highly enough and cannot wait to stay there again 9-12 August 2012 as part of a 19 day trip to New York and Los Angeles

Not to mention an absolute bargain when using points. Compared to prices if paying cash, you are getting a really good deal, especially at certain times of year when the $ price is high for rooms.

I stayed there on points this time last year too - definitely no breakfast or lounge on awards nights for me, but did receive a nice upgrade to a TS view and got free internet. All in all a great stay, but breakfast and lounge would have made it excellent.
I wonder if it depends upon whether you check in at the PC check-in (if there is one?), as to whether you get the extra benefits? I didn't because I was tired and I just went to the first free check-in agent I could see.

I e-mailed them in advance and they said they would give me breakfast and wi-fi for MY room in advance.
As they were saving me a mint I took some nice Scottish produce as a gift (bottle of malt, big haggis and traditional shortbread) and they then did likewise for the additional room, without being prompted.
The bar staff were also very generous but then I was also tipping them very well so fair's fair I suppose

I e-mailed before hand and also used the PC desk to check in...
If I had checked in and not been told of any benefits, I may have asked. But maybe that is just me.

Guess I will take the time to find the PC check-in desk next time! But still had a nice stay there, as I said.

just checked in on points. Free wifi and lounge access as plt.
But 1) the lounge is being refurbished and as such it is now located in a room behind check in, 2) it is not open during the day, and 3) when the real lounge does reopen on i believe the 5th floor, there will be no "free" alcohol [missed if she said no free alcohol or no alcohol - long day so far for me]
Cheers
