Well, I used to spend quite a lot of time there when I lived in Buffalo
and Niagara-on-the-Lake. The last time I stayed at the Harbor Castle,
about 20 years ago, we paid $300 a night. I pay much less than that
today for a room in NYC. Will be in Chelsea this week and pay $159 for
2, which includes breakfast! Sorry to hear Yorkville has become Trendy,
but surely there must be areas, maybe near UT? that are less expensive.
