Traveller Comments....
"I really think I heard the announcement in my head for days afterward." (?)
"the Delta Shuttle terminal is tiny, grungy, dimly lit, and all-around spooky at night." (BCT)
"I, who usually only travel first class, was TERRIFIED at the thought of it. But let me tell you, everything was great! I slept peacefully in a chair, wrapped in my mink. " (Rebecca)
"Possibly one of the worst experiences of my life. " (Tim)

My mother and I went on a day trip to NY and decided to rough it without a hotel. We were looking forward to taking a nice nap in the terminal of La Guardia before our flight home. We wrong. When we got there, there was literally no one in the airport besides two grumpy janitors and three grumpy people working in Au Bon Pain. It was freaky. And every 10 minutes, a stupid announcement went off threatening to destroy all luggage if it is left alone. Considering that there was NO ONE IN THE AIRPORT, that threat carried little value. About 2 hours before our flight, the staff of this airport finally arrived. The fliers were there before the workers! We were relieved to see them at all. However, they were extremely rude. Everyone. The women working in the check in counters seemed to hate that we existed and refused to help one girl confused about her flight time. They treated everyone like worthless scum. The people working in security weren't any better. They treated us all like fugitives. They took one man aside and yelled at him for bringing a bottle of shampoo. They were definitely on power trips. In general, it just seemed like they hated everyone and thought we were all stupid. They were rude, inconsiderate, and just plain ghetto. It was an awful experience and I certainly hope I never have the displeasure of traveling through LaGuardia again.

- Ramada New Yorker Hotel - I've stayed here several times over the years. Great location across from Penn Station! The Tick Tock Diner downstairs is my favourite diner. The hotel was renovated a few years ago, so its a bit pricey for me now.
