Not sure if here is the right place to post, but I figure ppl here need to know about DSUs more than in the NYC hotel master thread. I just got back from a stay in the splash suite at the Andaz 5th Ave. It. Was. Awesome! Staff there is so nice and super accommodating, the amenities are awesome, and couldn't ask for a better location! For all those who like to daven with a minyan, the chabad of midtown is two blocks away, and its close to all major shopping and restaurants. The only thing I would advise ppl about is about the breakfast. Don't get me wrong, it was an unbelievably awesome perk, I am not complaining at all but there were some unexpected outcomes that I feel others would like to know about. We ordered two coffees assuming they were coming from milk and honey along with the rest of the food (as they were listed on the M&H take out menu), but instead they came from the hotel shop. To many people here this may not present an issue, but for someone who keeps cholov yisrael, this was slightly upseting. Additionaly, the bagels on the menu are listed on the menu without any option of adding spreads. I ordered 3 bagels with cream cheese and figured the worst that could happen is they would say that they don't do that. Wrong. The order showed up with 3 (!) Half pint containers of cream cheese. As a result, I was a little nervous that I would be charged extra for this at checkout, but as others have reported, it seems that it is possible to go over the $75 limit and not get charged. Again, not complaining, just trying to give a heads up to anyone who might wanna know.
A big thanks to the ppl in this thread who helped me out (@ CS91 especially), you guys are the best!
