The W Hotel Hoboken Has a Stalker

Where: 335 River Street [map], Hoboken, NJ, United States, 07030-5877

The W Hotel Hoboken has a stalker. And his name is Andrew Calvo who runs the Passion of a Zealot blog. Andrew emailed us to let us know that he's been keeping very detailed tabs on the progress of the W Hoboken as well as the W Wall Street. That's because according to his "About Me" profile he's a "25 year old Commercial Real Estate Advisor" with a passion for hotels. $&#*@! 25? God, we're starting to feel old.

His blog is very new--only five entries so far--but his post on these new W hotels involves a lot of praise for Starwood, W, Barry Sternlicht and the like, which kinda makes us suspicious but then again, we spend all of our days writing about hotels, so are we really one to judge? Oh wait, he says it's his goal to work for Barry one day. Ok now we get it.

Anyways, Andrew definitely has the most photos on either W hotel and for that we are grateful. Also our fave quote from Andrew comes from his Facebook gallery of the W Hoboken Hotel (membership not required):

if the w hotel was a woman, she'd have a restraining order on me. ive been stalking the w hotel in hoboken since late 2005.. its finally being built!

Indeed, Andrew confesses to making monthly trips to visit the building and then he cruises through the Holland Tunnel to check out the W Wall Street. (For those pictures, click here.) Another stalker note: He titled the photo albums "My baby is growing up" and "My other baby is being born!" Wow, that is some...um...dedication.
