Dan's AC sensor override (VIP mode) instructions 
Most hotels in Hawaii have an Inncom thermostat. 
To enter VIP mode:
-While you are holding "display"
- Press "off", then
- Press "Up" arrow
-Then release "display"
You still can't open/close the balcony, (It still displays if the balcony is open or closed, but it lets the AC run while the balcony is open.)
 but the AC will run if you leave it open and you won't be trapped in your room.  Plus you can also set the AC to lower temps in VIP mode.

Ideas to enter hotel rooms with electronic locks
-Many like to just tape down the latch hole to ensure easy access  (simplest way is to tape the key card over the hole)
-some will just stuff the hole with tissues (you run the risk of it slipping out)
-on cruises, and some hotels, you can use one of those thin refrigerator magnets, put it on the door jamb to cover the hole where the door latch goes.
-others rely on the poskim who allow you to ask a goy (see above)
-exterior portable lock http://www.thexlock.com/
and then there's the best one yet
-Haven't tried it at a hotel but on a cruise I tied a gartel to the inside door handle and left a little sticking out the bottom of the door. I just had to pull the gartel and the door opened. :)

I stayed in the sheraton times square was upgraded to a suite on the 5th floor as a plat and it was very walkable to shuls on 63rd

Was able to take the stairs and the front doors are non-electronic (this was 2 years ago)

But not luxurious by any means

I would say Parsipanny east for  2 reasons
A. Its across the sheraton and you can find a minyan very often, and its walking distance to chabad
B. There is a small lake/pond behind the Sheraton where you can walk around and enjoy a bit some outdoors too

Thank you! I don’t mind trying to put together my own minyan for Shabbos Nachamu.  I was wondering which one is nicer and more accomodating on Shabbos.

They e-mailed me that they have a conference room to rent.  They don’t allow outside food and beverages in room.

most hotels have that policy but will issue an F&B waiver for events such as kosher. I've requested this several times at different hotels. (They allow kosher caterers at that hotel)

They will only give the room for davening.  They want $250.00 to rent conference room Friday night and $600.00 for Shabbos plus 23% Service Charge and 6.35% CT Tax.
