but, i would say the hotel is very conveniently located. if you have business in that part of town or like to be downtown, its one of the few options. the other downtown options are W Union Square and possibly the W Tuscany.

75 stays is a lot for a hotel you clearly think is sub-par. Why bother?

2) it's a perfectly acceptable hotel with warts as i noted. i couldn't possibly be more clear. i was just pointing out the warts. (i believe i said: "it's a perfectly acceptable hotel with nice beds.") so, i guess to specifically answer your question, none of your bee's wax.

I booked a Saturday stay at the Four Points for September. Usually stay at the W in Union Square but decided to try and save 6,000 points.
My confirmation email said the room is 210 sq ft. We will have my newborn son and will have to bring his portable crib. Is the "large work area" in these rooms big enough to put a crib? Or is this one of those rooms where your bags block your path to the bathroom? Hopefully I will get an upgrade but I am preparing for worst case.

Were you carrying it next to your cell phone? That can do it.

They did fail to give me a wakeup call on my second morning there, but otherwise, I'd recommend this property. Rooms are, as mentioned, stylish, though small, and the location is tough to beat. I walked to and from Penn Station, with luggage.

Argh - $445!!
Just booked a sales meeting in NYC for Sept 12, thought I would stay at my favorite NYC property (in my price range that is)... and low and behold, it is $445/night...
Last time I stayed it was $195... supply and demand? Looks like the Sheraton Laguarda East will have to get my business again... it's only $229... and great access to yummy food...
Btw - no *wood in Manhattan that week for < $400... madness...

Keep checking back. They sometimes lower their prices unexpectedly. I was initially going to book this hotel at $245 /night for a stay in September, which was low comparing to the other *wood at $345+ /night. That's why I started this thread.A few weeks later, one of the W's had an internet special for $199 /night for only 3 days. So I switched
Right when the W took their $199 /night away and adjusted back to $439 /night, the Le Meridien NY had an $199 /night internet rate again for the next 2 days. So, keep checking.

That said, I will take Chelsea any day

Parking at the Four Points
Anyone have any recent experiences driving here? I have been paying $52 a night at the W and was hoping to not have to spend that much here. Am wondering if anyone knew their valet costs.

From website: "A pay parking facility is available on 26th Street." No rates given.

It is funnier when you read it than when you write it.
Thanks, I looked on the site but could not find it, guess I will be paying about $35 a night.
