Westin vendome has a lot of nicer rooms and suites with balconies looking at the tower. Hit or miss if you get them on redemption stays - there are also a lot of rooms with no real view. Lie and say it’s your honeymoon - worked for me

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
