The rooms are spotless. The staff members are exceptionally friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The hotel provides an excellent breakfast and a nice selection of cheese, wine, and snacks late afternoon in the Library lounge on the second floor. We have visited NYC once or twice a year for the past 5 years and have never had a nicer experience. More

This was a perfect boutique hotel. Great location, lovely rooms and superlative service. On top of that, the rooftop patio and the better-than-usual breakfast are add-ons that make this a perfect spot. Would definitely recommend, and go back again. More

Fantastic location - just 1 block from Grand Central in one direction, 1 block from the main library and Bryant Park in the other. Clean, comfortable rooms. Yes, the rooms are small, but this is NYC. Most rooms are small. We loved that each room was Dewey Decimal-numbered, and had a theme of a type of book. Staff - very... More

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed in, in my entire life (and i'm ancient).

My wife and I recently made our first foray to New York to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. As we were staying for two weeks in New York, and the destination was a surprise for my wife, I wanted a hotel that would suit a longer stay without sending us stir-crazy - especially in a New York winter. I did... More

Service is committed and low key (a positive) so that all needs taken care of with no fuss. Breakfast excellent with great variety. The wine and cheese reception is generous and a lovely way to unwind after a... More
