11/19/2023 0 Comments Indigo les![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve visited over 20 different countries within the last couple of years and I just can’t wait to board my next flight. Hi my name is Teja, and I am an entrepreneur, travel writer, and photographer from Dallas. If you missed it here is the link to the earlier post with the more complete review of the property. I will definitely return to this hotel regardless of what room I get the next time I stay. The Lower East Side area also has quite a few nice restaurants and cafes which are a bit more off the beaten path. The location is brilliant, the rooms quite roomy, and of course the views are of both upper and lower Manhattan. This hotel is definitely a steal of a deal in the IHG hotel network with nights costing 45k points (still eligible for annual free night). Just for clarification I still paid for the night using my IHG free night certificate so the hotel didn’t comp me on this. So by subscribing you are really helping me better integrate the two aspects of this online log and give you a more comprehensive low down on travel. ![]() There’s no real way for to link back to the blog and vlog unless I get to 1000 followers. ![]() I would very much appreciate it if you could subscribe to my YouTube Channel. After all, the hotel didn’t really email be back. I thought upgrade meant that I had been given a deluxe room instead of standard room so I didn’t think much of it at the time. Fast forward 1 week, I hadn’t heard back from the hotel at all and I was checking in for my night stay when the receptionist told me I had been upgraded. I just emailed the hotel back asking if I could photograph the city from the rooftop as promised. Since I actually liked the location, feel, and design of the hotel, I decided to give the place another shot. It was not our intention and certainly is being addressed appropriately.Īlthough you’ve checked out of the hotel please feel free to return for some photo op’s and a manager would be happy to escort you to the rooftop. We apologize that you were made to feel as if you were doing something wrong, or as if you were being cheated out of something advertised. Purple management team would like to apologize and invite you back to take as many photos as you’d like.Īdditionally, as the restaurant and rooftop bar are independently owned and operated their management team has assured me that the security staff will be spoken to regarding this policy in an attempt to prevent this misinformation from being presented to any other hotel guest. As we prefer press and publications go through our Sales team, we do not permit large cameras, lighting equipment or tripods in the public space. Photography is absolutely allowed at the pool and on the rooftop. We are truly apologetic that you approached and given information in this manner. Thank you so much for reaching out and bringing this feedback to our attention. I actually emailed the hotel afterwards and they apologized and offered to escort me to the roof top bar so that I can take all the pictures I wanted. The whole reason I booked this hotel at the time was for the view and the staff made it seem like it was only people who take pictures with cell phones and times outside of golden hour. Some of you may remember my debacle at the Hotel Indigo Lower East Side two years back, when I was kicked out of the bar area because I looked like a professional photographer. Lucky for me my new favorite area to stay in: the Lower East Side actually had a few hotels available for redemption of the free night. New York can be a very expensive city on weekends and most hotels were booked already. Since I hadn’t gone anywhere in a couple of months I took this as an opportunity to make a trip to the City for some urban photography. A month ago I had an expiring IHG Annual Free Night Certificate (I wish it was an affiliate link) that had to be used up. ![]()
