Whats the Difference Between Vikram Chatwals Stay.Hotel and The Quality Inn?
Ah! So that’s why we didn’t hear more about Vikram Chatwal’s brand new Stay.Hotel before its official unveiling earlier this week: the property morphed into the Stay from its former identity, The Quality Inn Times Square, relatively seamlessly. And now we’re kinda wondering if maybe the place is basically a Quality Inn with a baller lobby. Here’s what happened: we hopped over to TripAdvisor this morning hoping that perhaps someone had already submitted the hotel’s first TripAdvisor review. But when we found a handful of Stay.Hotel reviews from September, we were disappointed in ourselves for not stalking Tricky Viky with our usual gusto: it turns out the place was quietly operating as the Stay.Hotel for a while, but only recently had its official “unveiling.” We called the hotel to see what the deal was. The fairly knowledgeable woman who answered the phone explained to us that the hotel really just switched lobbies — as in, the new swanky lobby our tipster showed us was the new Stay.
