Statler Hotel Name Change Marks City Update
The 2,200 room Penn station era dormitory, formerly the Pennsylvania, was bought by Statler and renamed. The change costs about 200,000 dollars and involves replacing monogrammed linen and china while using existing stock for two years. Towel pilferage is noted as a common hotel theft issue among guests.
