What would interest me is how many travellers prefer absolute anonymity when they travel like I do? I do not want a real relationship with my hotel and I don’t want to be a part of its valued community. I also have no interest in people blogging/tweeting/posting/youtubing about where I am, especially in real time. I want a great location, fair prices, spotless rooms, comfort and silence… I’ll leave the socializing to my gang of friends.

Wow– This comment thread is a perfect example of relationships at work. Thanks Erin, Brian and Krista for the engagement. And thanks, David for engaging back. I’m happy to have sparked some good conversation.

Hi Brian.
I am afraid my source was your own website. I looked into staying three nights from Saturday December 9th to the 12th and was quoted $1418.48 USD, which amounts to roughly $500 per night. There were no cheaper options offered to me. This was the best available rate.

You have every right in the world to charge high rates. It is, after all, NYC. My point was that I prefer excellent prices to social media friendliness. But that could just be me.

Brian’s comment to David is exactly why the Roger Smith Hotel is excelling in social media. It’s about the personal relationships! I am so glad we were able to meet each other. What a fantastic example of doing it right!

David,
It is too bad you feel that way. As for the rates, I have been here for over a year and have never seen anyone pay $500 a night for our rooms. Our average rate for November has been less than $250 per night. I am concerned that you have seen our rates grossly misprinted somewhere. Would it be possible for you to forward me any information that you have found regarding our rates being so high? Your input is very valuable to us.
Thank you
Brian @RSHotel

Give me a break! Social media Mecca? Big deal. How about mentioning that this small hotel “of the people” charges $500 per night and up? I cannot imagine what “niche” this fills in a city of over-priced over-rated hotels. Sounds like the same old same old, but with faster net speed. Next!

Great post Dan – I completely agree with you about what the Roger Smith Hotel is doing. They really get how to connect with people, to form real relationships, and to create a valuable community. It’s especially admirable since they’re in a traditionally offline industry! Brian, Adam & the rest of the team have done a fantastic job – there’s nowhere else I’d stay in NYC.

Cheers,
Erin
