Dear Penny Pincher,

I have a friend who swears by the concierge floor. How is it that the concierge floors pay off? What are the benefits?

Hi Erika.

The concierge floor is a great oasis to relax and ease yourself into the day or end the day. Whether traveling alone or with your family, these floors can save you a lot of money. Most of these floors offer breakfast in the morning that often include, coffee, tea, cereals, fruit and an assortment of breakfast pastries. Additionally throughout the day snacks and amenities are offered, as well as a dinner service with cocktails. The invisible benefit of peace of mind can be an added inducement as well as the savings from meals otherwise eaten out.
