I am staying at the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel while attending a trade show at the Javits Center. I normally stay at the Marriott at Times Square when attending these events, but decided this trip to stay at the New Yorker so I could walk to the Javits Center. When my wife and I went to check in at about 3:30 today, the line at the registration desk stretched clear across the lobby. There were variously 4 to 6 people behind the registration desk, and they were checking in only 3 to 4 people at a time. There were perhaps 6 other hotel staff in the lobby who were doing absolutely nothing. It seemed to take an unusually long time to check in each party. When my wife and I returned from dinner at 8:00 pm, the line was much shorter, but there was only one hotel staff person at the registration desk.
