First, because the opening has been delayed (on the website) from Jan to Feb to Mar to Apr, so it isn't unrealistic to think it might get delayed again. Second, because I was wanting her to stay there within a couple weeks of the currently scheduled opening, but due to the close proximity to the opening, she might not be able to due to what might be a "rush" on rooms in the first few weeks (that others in this thread mentioned could happen). Up to now, each time it has gotten pushed back I've thought, oh, there's still plenty of time before she comes, but now there just isn't, in relation to the opening.
It's not a huge deal. But she lives in NYC and I was hoping she could experience the best we have to offer in urban density while she was here.
