A fab week in New York
My Dad took me to New York to help plan my forthcoming wedding in December.
We arrived fairly late and they had us down for only one room when we had booked two! After a while the receptionist put my dad one of the Penthouse suites and told us to come back in the morning when a manager could sort out our booking. In the morning the reception manager kindly let my dad stay in the penthouse and also upgraded me too! Which is just as well as the rooms were very small and the shower was shoved in the corner and tiny!! I'm only small at 5'2 so dread to think how men managed?
Only down side was that there was only one lift that took you there and they were old and slow! The rooftop bar was also on the penthouse floor and had a fab view of the empire state building! 
There was free wifi access which was great and tea and coffee 24 hours, and the breakfast provided was fine, good selection of juices,cereals, muffins & bagels.
The location was great only a 5-10 min walk to times square and it was fairly cheap to stay here so was OK, but if your looking for something special stay somewhere like the Grand Hyatt in grand central station where I stayed last year or The New York Palace where we are staying for our wedding. All in all it served it's purpose for a base but only because we were upgraded as the suites where large and spacious.
