That nightly facility fee was unexpected, and I probably would’ve chosen another hotel given the total cost. It was a quiet, small place to stay in TS, tho. I hate staying in Times Sq, but had to for work purposes, so the fact that the room was fairly quiet and there wasn’t a ton of hustle and bustle was nice. (Although, there is annoying street work being done on 47th St that started at 6:30/7am.)
I was really annoyed by that extra fee, though. It was an additional $130. And now I’m going to have a difficult time expensing it because of the separate charges and two different receipts. I feel that it was a little dishonest. I am learning that a lot of boutique hotels are doing this in NYC. I will probably stick with chain hotels moving forward because of the hassle of reconciling my business expenses.
The staff are friendly and the place, again, is quiet — so for the purposes of having a place to lay my head, this was sufficient.
