Snagged an exchange last night for West 57th (NYC) checking in 7/30. (I'd been searching various travel sites, hoping to get to NYC for restaurant week(s). I'm guessing this was a cancellation or last minute opening, as the TPU was only 29, (studio unit). Anyway.....I'm very familiar w/ NYC, but this will be my first stay at West 57th. From the info I read, I know I will not have access to the owner lounge. I will have access to the rooftop lounge, correct? And there will be a small fridge in the room, (to keep water, drinks, etc.)? Any helpful hints, info, etc. that you can provide would be most appreciated. Again, I am NOT an owner....this is an exchange through RCI. Thanks in advance.

Hi, The owners lounge and rooftop deck all go together. You will not have access to either. Yes, there will be a small fridge and a coffee maker in your room. There is a good grocery store a few doors up the block toward Carnegie Hall.

Location is great. Close to subway, Central Park, Time Square, etc.

Enjoy your stay.

Also, if you like theatre, be aware that there is now a TKTS outlet at Lincoln Center.
