We spoke with a cute older couple while standing in line one evening who said that they were at the overflow hotel, which was in lower Manhattan (in a bad part of town) and that they were afraid to go out after dark, so they had to leave before it got dark and get back to their hotel.
I'm not absolutely sure what the overflow hotel was for this past Fest, but I *thought* I read that it was the Marriott Financial, which is located just a few buildings away from where the WTC was on West Street. If that was where that couple stayed, I'm really surprised to hear that they thought it was awful because I stayed there in 2001 and the room I had was wonderful - much better than the Fest rooms in the Vista Hotel. And the Financial's service was amazing. Though, of course, that was pre-9/11...
