Anyone been able to book a room at the "downtown" crew hotel in New York lately? (i.e. last couple of weeks?) I've called the front desk, even asked the supervisor, and keep getting the same answer of "we don't honor the Delta Crew Rate anymore." Even though our crews are still staying there?

I was there in August on my own dime. I talked to a lady in the "front office" You have to by pass the front desk and reservations. When you call the hotel ask to speak to someone in the front office that deals with the airline crews.
Long story short I tried Priceline, Orbitz, et al and could not find a room in town for under $200 plus fees. I had called the hotel and been told the same thing about no discounts as you were when I talked to Reservations. I called back and talke to the front desk and they said it was the front office that dealt with that.
Let me know what you find out I want to head back out in November with the wife.
PS I was the one who sent in the info to Crew Guide so as of August it was good.
