4. I wanted to call home one night (Australia) and the front desk recommended purchasing an international phone card so I didn't have to pay the expensive hotel rates, I did this but then we checked out, I found out that this did not cover my calls just lower the rates, consequently $300 was added to our bill at check out - to say we were not happy with this would be a severe understatement as you can imagine.

5. Also, take note that room tax of nearly 20% is added to the bill - this is in the small print of your email confirmation, but when we added it to our total, I started to wonder if we could have found a queen room in a better hotel.

6. We saved a lot of time and money staying inside the city rather than staying in New Jersey (where hotels are a bit cheaper) and taking the NJ Transit (not so cheap and adds to your bill) and reaching the city during the rush hour.

7. Of course at check out time is when the real value hit`s home, compared to the hotel bills I`m used to getting in NY, it makes me really wish I was a few years younger.
