That took the price to about $87 per day. You can get used to the luxuries of a world class hotel after just 2 or 3 days, especially at that price.

2triky wrote:Wow, that's a great deal, especially in San Francisco.
Charles wrote:I was tempted to stay another 2 days and get another day free. They offered it. Must have been off-season rates, I think it was in February, the hotel was pretty empty. But even off season, that was a hell of a deal.

2triky wrote:nice...actually i think my friend told me about that takoyaki stand...he used to live on the LES on 12 th Sst.
2triky wrote:well that entire area has been gentrified along with Alphabet city, and the East Village....blame it on the money and real estate developers.
