Aloft Brooklyn...worlds worst cat 5 hotel?
+1. We stayed there and the AC wasn't working in the room. My wife didn't sleep a wink and they absolutely refused to make amends. The hotel itself was lousy otherwise. The room was strange and the elevators were draped as if they were doing construction, which they weren't at the time.

They're supposed to take Hyatt points, IIRC.

Anyone stay at the Hyatt Place on W.36th yet?
It's a cat 4, so you can use your annual free certs there.

I am a little rush to search right now.

The andaz 5th only has Andaz XL View King for tonight.

I will be using a free night certificate. Booke out of a plat account.

How is the room is it nice? Worth staying for a night out with the wife? Or better save it for something nicer?

Has anyone stayed at the W Union Square?  My wife and I are thinking about spending a day and a night in the Village/Chelsea area and we have like 120k SPG points.  I also have about 88k HHonors points if there's anything downtown worth looking at.

So we ended up spending the night at the W New York in Union Square.  It's a nice hotel and the location was excellent for us.  They only let you book the smallest room type on the website so of course I called SPG and asked if it was possible to upgrade to something larger.  They put us in the next size up room on the 8th floor with a pretty good view of Union Square, for an additional 1500 Starpoints.  I felt it was totally worth it.  My biggest complaint is instead of a minibar inside a cabinet (like I'm used to), they have a whole bunch of goodies out on the counter, as well as underneath it and luckily I found the price list buried in the middle of it all, because one small bag of popchips goes for $7 over there.  We bought a bag twice the size down the street for $2.19.  When I stayed at the St Regis (last year) we got two free water bottles and a bowl of fresh fruit in the room, also free.  So until I noticed the well-hidden price list I thought the chips and granola might have been a perk.  They have an Acura that you can reserve to get a free ride within a reasonable distance, but it was booked basically the whole time we were there.  They also have free granny smith apples in the lobby :)
