The Eventi does not charge a resort fee. Ink48 does, however.
I like the Ink48 and it would be my recommendation, even despite the resort fee. (If you’re Inner Circle, the fee is waived.) They are fairly generous with status upgrades and the hotel rooms are clean and pretty spacious especially by NY standards.

Side note that, 2yrs later, that may have changed. I stayed there this weekend, and is about $50/night for the auxiliary BS fee.
That said, they took a Chase free night cert for the whole weekend in early June, so I didn't complain even once.
Great little property too!

That's certainly one interpretation 
Though a milder version is that Bridge and Tunnel are simply commuters from outside the city, using bridges and tunnels for access - though without doubt the intimation of less sophisticated suburban folk creeps in
I've heard the term used in Boston, but seems there to have a more "manufactured" and much less derogatory feel to it.

best for noise?
hi all- am now starting to travel to NYC for work, and haven't been thrilled with my hilton options, so am considering an IHG property on this stay. Both the IC Barclays and the Indigo LES are in my budget -- I'm wondering which, if either, is more likely to have quiet rooms? The Indigo is closer to my workplace, but I had originally booked the Intercontinental as they are usually reasonably quiet, but have seen a bunch of online reviews suggesting that the rooms have thin walls and lots of internal noise (other rooms and hallways). I've also seen reports that the Indigo can be noisy due to the bar. Since I trust my fellow flyertalkers more than random anonymous reviewers, I figured i'd ask here which of the 2 is more likely to provide a quiet night's sleep (or if I'm better off with something else). Thanks!

Just want to be sure - is IC Barclay the only IHG property in NYC that has a club lounge? With the annual lounge membership, I would like to at least experience it once in NYC, even if it is nothing to write home about. I know IC Times Square doesn't have one, and CP Times Square no longer seems to offer one. Am I missing any other property? Thanks!
