It's been where it's been for a while, so there's some sentimentality. Hotel Pennsylvania is also incredibly cheap. It's also very crappy -- you don't even get what you pay for. (I'm speaking at 11p Friday if anyone is interested, and will be in town Thursday to Wednesday. But not staying at the Hotel Pennsylvania.)

The Penn5000 rooms aren't that bad, and if you timed it right, very cheap by NY standards.

  I did W on Lex for $185/night and got a "fantastic suite" (45-50 square meters) as a spg plat upgrade. That, for NYC, is pretty good IMO.

    that, for NYC is excellent. Marriott for me and the family (who are also attending).

I'm not staying at the Pennsylvania, either.

There's also the extra nostalgia from the fact that the hotel has the oldest phone number in New York City. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Pennsylvania#Pennsylvania_6-5000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Pennsylvania#Pennsylvani...
