Uh... I don't get it either. Why not just take the room for the whole day (until the next) and then check out in the evening or after midnight? I, personally, don't know which hotels offer "day rates" here in NYC -- Giuliani probably did away with that ;-)

P.S. Request an early check-in, of course. Most hotels will try to accommodate your request. If you take the room from the night *before* you will, most likely need to check-out by 1:00 the latest. And, uh, well I don't really know how much time you "need".

I still can't believe you people are taking this troll seriously!

You are absolutely right, Howard... b(

Sorry Patrick. I am working the job from hell right now and am losing brain cells daily. The humor was not lost on me, however, as you will note my comment re: sex at the club.

You can get hourly rates at St Marks Hotel, 2 St Marks Place.No questions asked or smerks form the clerks.
