A relaxing hotel
The hotel is in traditional french style and is on a small scale. The room was OK - a rather strange layout with a kitchenette and passageway before reaching the bedroom however it felt private. The reception staff were helpful. The Monkey Bar is busy and atmospheric.
The lounge in the hotel is relaxing, the evening wine is a good way to meet fellow guests while the continental breakfast is convenient and adequate. A good base for exploring NYC and an escape from the madness at the end of the day. Recommended for those who would prefer something different and not looking for a totally American hotel experience.
