7. Highlights were the comfortable beds, quiet rooms (the first time I have not needed earplugs at night in a New York City hotel room), wonderful breakfast (more than a typical continental selection) in the Grande Lobby which worked very well, a complimentary evening wine and cheese reception with lovely piano music, great cookies and beverages all day in the lobby, free passes to a nearby health club, access to a laptop computer in the lobby (and high speed internet access in the rooms for those who brought their laptops), and most of all, a very courteous, friendly and helpful staff (including the breakfast servers, front desk, bellhop, and housekeeping).
