IC Times Square
We stayed there Columbus Day weekend and had a perfect stay. Booked King Bed Deluxe Corner Room ($499 night) on an Amb new style BOGO and received a panoramic 21st floor King Bed Sky view Avenue Studio ($799 night) looking East over 8th Ave. Upgrade was visible online after an email 2 wks prior requesting RA benefits information at that location. Checked in early and all was ready.
As a Royal Ambassador, you will be able to enjoy the below exclusive benefits throughout your stay:
• Upgrade to one of our Studios or Executive Sky View Accommodation
• Welcome amenity delivered in the evening of your arrival
• Daily water refreshments delivered to your room in the afternoon everyday
• One Complimentary Pay-TV movie per stay
• Late check-out at 4:00pm.
Note: They don’t mention “everything liquid” as they put, is complementary for RA quests. No matter the amount it is removed from your bill daily or upon check-out. Yes, each item in the mini-bar and on top has a pressure sensitive switch….lift a drink you’re billed…put it back and they adjust later. Internet was free.
Sky view Avenue Studio. Terrific city view and a bit of the Hudson to the North W and gives you that NYC feeling. Style and comfort of furnishings we luxurious. King Bed one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced anywhere. 100% clean room. Turn down service is a nice touch. Heavy glass and thick sound deadening window covers keep most of the noise out.
Location. Facility makes an excellent impression with a sophisticated atmosphere. Nice to stay at a new facility and all interaction with staff was friendly and professional and one fellow even refused a tip. Subway lines at IC + Times Square. Steps to Theaters, 3 min walk to Times Square, 20 min to Central Park. Hassle free check-in/valet parking/check-out. Never used restaurant/bar but only because busy off site. Menu looks good, pricy but it should be. Concierge very helpful. Valet parking $58 w/tax per day no in/out
Area. Some portions of the area had a Carnival vibe but it is Times Square after all. Area is saturated with Police and felt more patrolled than DC. Appears safer than many cities but you still need to keep you’re guard up.
Excellent RA recognition. Enjoyable stay with no issues. Probably only place I’ll stay in NYC if only for a clean, central location.....all the other niceties are a bonus.

it's complicated.. before the hotel opened they had the room available online for $900 -ish I had the room booked for the first night. around a week before I got a call from the manager saying the room wasn't ready, he went on to offer me a corner studio room for free for that night and if I wanted to stay in the Manhattan suite at a future date he could give it to me for $279 so I just stayed there. I think the Manhattan suite now goes for around $3500 or at least that what I was told

How did you see that? I can't pull the room up regardless of what date I put in :S
480sq ft means it's smaller than the studio?
