it is was not the most extravagant of places (the hotel that i would have been staying in if was was prepared to share was $195 a night, this was $79 and the difference was obvious, but had my own room, own shower and peace and quiet...)
the manager of the place was a fiery latina, who i think could have stormed iraq on her own and won. she was gorgeous. i was in love.
i was on the 4th floor (room 420), though for us it was really the third floor. several nights when i was coming back late the conceirge (an old bloke) would have trouble letting me. still i wasn't in the bother of one bod who had turned up there close to midnight, with no key and they were not letting him near the room he said he had. not sure what the outcome was as i went off to my room to kip. but i didn't like his chances as none of the staff would dare to cross the manger.
i am thinking i will do a splash and dash long weekend in nyc before too long and i would have no qualms about staying in the woogo again. though with a quick check i can see that the prices have gone up, even though there is a 70% discount offer on!
the other alternative that i might try when i do the dash over there is priceline where you can bid a price for a hotel and see if the hotel type and location you have selected go for it. might be fun to see if you can get a decent high starred hotel for small change. the only catch is you can't choose the hotel, if a hotel says yes then you are booked in with them.
be a couple of months before i do it, but i reckon i will be back in nyc before the end of the year.
