I reserved a "Petite one full-bed room" and so was prepared for a "petite" room with a brick wall view, which is what I got. There truly was just room for a double bed and one bed-side table. (Deep, built-in shelves gave you some storage space and also housed TV and CD player.) That being said, I loved the crisp modern design, and perversely, enjoyed the cosiness of the small but well-designed space. With the tans and beiges, as well as dark cork floors and dark brown marble in the bathroom, I felt like I was staying in a little chocolate box. The Italian sheets were THE most comfortable I have ever encountered in a hotel. The bathroom, too, was small, but had a nice marble shower (my partner admired a large fossilized shell) and Hermes toiletries. I think the lack of natural light would be a negative on a long stay, but for one night it was negligible. I did get a laugh out of seeing the New York Post outside my door in the morning. The lobby staff was friendly and unpretentious. I would have completely balked at the price last year, but that's what the prices are in NY right now. The block is nice and the location is very convenient to subways and most parts of the city.

Had a great experience here. We came in on the red-eye and couldn't check in right away but they stored our bags for us and when we came back at 11:00am, they had a king room for us (upgraded from queen room). It had a lovely full bath and the room was just right. The bed was completely comfortable with great pillows and the room was very nice and clean. Even had turn down service both nights. Would highly recommend this hotel!

I was so impressed with the city club hotel, I plan on staying there everytime I return to NYC. The rooms are beautiful. The location is perfect and the staff is very accomadating. The new Ipod docking station/alarm clock was also a nice touch so I can listen to all my music through the high end speakers the hotel provides. I would highly reccomend the city club hotel to all NYC travelers

We were not impressed with the hotel. Common areas needed to be refreshed. The entrance to the hotel and the hallways hold an unpleasant scent from the street where there is currently a good deal of construction which creates dirt, grime and odors.
I would imagine this hotel was quite nice when Mr. Klein opened it in 2001.
We wish we had visited when it was "new".
Our room on the second floor was tiny but clean. The decor is tailored and chic, however there is evidence of wear and tear which should be addressed. We would not go back.
