Well, BCG 1 would be right if the Meridien was still SPG. Stay at the Westin GC. Not flashy but very convenient and a pretty solid fitness center. I’ve been staying in NYC for the past 8 months..

@PwC I know. I know. 😭😭😭😭

Was staying at W in midtown for a project. 3x they gave me a dirty room upon check in. Rooms are tiny. Staff is rude. Elevators never work and always a wait to get up and down. Stay far way
