Trying to plan for a trip to New York later this year, I search for hotel rates. Despite the weak dollar, they don’t come cheap. And some of the descriptions are not too inviting:
Guest Room with Semi Private Bath.
What does that mean? A curtain? A door that doesn’t lock? I’m too old for this!
And if anyone has recommendations for a nice, inexpensive and centrally located Manhattan hotel, I’ll buy them a beer.
