So your Going New York
Well if your going to New York and want to stay some where central and excellent service dont come to Holiday Inn midtown. The Welcome staff, tour desk and porter staff are so rude it is a shock after a 21 hour flight. I was told by the tour desk how stupid i was for traveling alone and that no one on any other tour would talk to me. Well i have news, on other tours i came accross amazing people from from amazing cultures. This person even had the hide to attempt talk me into canceling the tours and just doing broadway shows and watch the yankees. the reception desk just cut you off when u explaining a situation or asking about the arrangement of travellers cheques. The restautrant staff were under dress and not in uniform on am duty, they even had the hide make me have my breakfast in my hotle room. how boring. i have food allergies so i took my ceral etc , the restaurant told me i was not welcome with my ceral.. I want to know from Holiday inn management what was the harm with eating my ceral and paying for soy milk in the so called restaurant. The porter staff were abrupt to say the least and made a international travellet have shivers up your spine. 
And what about a fridge in your hotel room, this 2010, or will that break the budget??
Oh I must let you know i visted the Fairmont hotel how nice the staff were, very welcoming to new york, assisting with directions to central park and ammenties. trust me the next time i go to new york i will look at staying at the fairmont. 
The room detailing could use some attention, especially those dirty windows.
