5. We really didn't feel safe even though the doors look like submarine doors where they have taken the old doors and welded metal over the glass area.

7. I have stayed at and recommended to many the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City for the primary reason that it is extraordinarily conveniently located for train travellers like me to train into the city, walk with my bags directly across the street, check in, then on checkout day, store bags at the hotel, do whatever and have a very easy trip in and out of a busy town.
