Historical Charm and Comfort

classic designspacious roomgracious dining roomconvenient location

The hotel's design has classic appeal. the room provided ample space and a comfortable setting. dinners in the gracious dining room were delicious. I found the wait-staff both friendly and professional. the location is really convenient, with subway stations nearby.

i noticed the gym could benefit from more treadmills, as there was sometimes a line to use them. this minor inconvenience did not overshadow my overall experience. but it is worth mentioning.

Location

9/10

the hotel is near two subway stations. it also sits adjacent to a comedy club, offering evening entertainment options. the high line is within easy reach. but the neighborhood also features many restaurants and boutique shopping options.

The lobby bar had a cute atmosphere and the bartenders were friendly (the cocktails were delicious!). The bed in my room was large and comfortable and i slept like a baby.
