Wonderful experience
From the moment we walked off the street into the lobby we were impressed by this hotel's elegance. It was large and consisted of a very tastefully decorated lounge area complete with a library (if you borrowed a book and didn't finish it on departure, you could take it with you and leave one of your own you had already read, or bring a book back on your next stay!) and tables and chairs where you could sit with your laptop and get online. A door off the lounge led into a well equipped fitness room with televisions to view while one exercised. The desk clerks were courteous and helpful and our room was spacious and contained all the ameneties one would hope for when travelling and then some. And the continental breakfast was the perfect satisfying way to start our day in the city. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to New York City, you will not be disappointed.
