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?

Reason I ask, I'm taking my girlfriend to the New York Metropolitan Opera, opening show of Boris Gudonov. Would've preferred staying at the above mentioned hotel. (Name left out for security reasons.) But, as mentioned, every time I've called, I've "hit a brick wall" with whomever I talked to.

If your recent experience has been the same, any advice on how to find a decent hotel in Manhattan without worrying about the "bed bug" infestation?

Thanks in advance. As always, fly safe,
