Breakfast @ Soho Grand

Our Soho Grande Check In Ordeal:

We arrived at the Soho Grand after the regular check in time. We had to wait for a little while before we could check in because of the line up of other tourists checking in. Finally, we were given keys to our room. Mommy, Daddy and I went straight to our (small) room and a very helpful bellhop (who would assist us the rest of our time in NY) brought our luggages to us. Right away, Daddy noticed a stain on the bed (the top sheet) and the bellhop saw it from the door. He let us know that this was unacceptable and we would get a new room. We waited for about 10 minutes before he came back up with a new room number and keys. Mommy and the bellhop checked out this new room, while Daddy and I stayed in the old room.

(from Mommy) We walk in the new room and I do the regular bed inspection... nothing on top, but YUCK! A "time of the month" stain on the fitted sheet. Again - completely unacceptable. I went back to the old room to meet James and Addi and tell them what we found. Normally, after two room incidents, I would insist on changing hotels... BUT our friends were staying here too and this wasn't a hotel that you'd expect to find yucky things. We finally get to a decent room and the manager comes up and apologizes and gives us comp tickets...

The following day, we enjoyed a FANTASTIC breakfast... on them!


Daddy had a smoked salmon eggs benedict (with amazing hollandaise sauce!), Mommy had a delicious banana waffle. I had potatoes, fresh fruit and sausage... yummy!

A little bit more on Soho Grand:
They have an excellent Baby Program - we were able to get a stroller, bath mat, baby bath supplies, diaper pail and a sport bag with coloring books and crayons for Addi!
...AND if you get a bit lonely, they'll even loan you a pet goldfish to keep in your room! (we didn't do that, of course... the fish would probably end up on the floor if it was in Addi's reach!)
