Can You Really Get at Room at the Standard NYC for $195 a Night?

Where: 848 Washington Street [map], New York, ny, United States, 10014

Yes. We know. We saw the banging Standard NYC ad yesterday. We talked about it in our review if you didn't catch it. We think it's a clever way to advertise low rates during the construction period and at the same time, let people think that sexy people are getting laid at this hotel. It's a great ad for 20-year-olds with money to spend and 40-year-olds who either want to be 20-years-old again or just to bring those youngsters back to the voyeur-licious room.

Yet our eyes were more drawn to the opening rates of $195 in the ad. We couldn't get this rate for our room earlier this week. A hotel rep has assured us those rates are still being offered. And he was right.

We found a room for this weekend--Friday and Saturday--for $195 a night. That's for a standard queen room which is just like the one we stayed in. The rates obviously fluctuate a bit depending on the night but if you are unable to get the opening rate, just say that the "nice construction lady" promised you one.
