 <\/p>\n

I booked the Sheraton New York Times Square hotel (formerly Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers) for 12,000 Starpoints. The going rate was $600+ a night because of New York Fashion Week. I stayed here two weeks ago as part of a mileage run from LAX-JFK-SJU-JFK-LAX. I changed my flight from a LAX-JFK redeye to an earlier flight, so I could spend a night in New York City.<\/p>\n

I took the JFK Airtrain to the E Train and got off at the 7th Avenue subway station which was one block from the Sheraton New York Times Square hotel.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny1\"<\/a> \"sheratonny2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The hotel was basically sold out due to fashion week and because of a large Delta Air Lines conference.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had booked a standard room and asked the front desk agent if there were any better rooms available. The front desk agent found me a Club room, but it had two double beds. I went ahead and agreed to the room and he told me that I had Club Lounge access as well.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The two double bed Club room was adequately sized for Manhattan. It was a basic room with two beds, small circular table with two chairs (work desk), and a TV.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny5\"<\/a> \"sheratonny6\"<\/a> \"sheratonny7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was also an in-room coffee maker with a minibar fridge.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The bathroom was also no-frills and very small. It contained the usual Sheraton bath amenities.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny9\"<\/a> \"sheratonny10\"<\/a> \"sheratonny11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best part about the room was the amazing view of New York City.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went up to the Club Lounge for evening appetizers which ran from 5pm-7pm and also has a cash bar. The Club Lounge was pretty huge with panoramic views of New York City.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The evening spread consisted of olives, cheese, crackers, grapes, and a vegetable tray with ranch dipping.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny14\"<\/a> \"sheratonny15\"<\/a> \"sheratonny16\"<\/a> \"sheratonny17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a little bit of everything, but the evening spread was disappointing as there were no hot selections.<\/p>\n

\"sheratonny18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sheraton New York Times Square hotel is in a fantastic location with easy access to the subway trains. There is also a citibikes station one block away if you need a bike rental. The Club Lounge could definitely use hot selections as the evening spread was disappointing. I was fortunate enough to even secure a room in New York City with Starpoints as hotel rates were sky-high.<\/p>\n
