Boutique hotel in a great Manhattan location
We almost missed this small hotel upon arrival, but don't let the size mislead you... it has so much to offer. The library theme is evident everywhere, from outside the hotel on the sidewalks to the wrappers on the chocolates in the room. I loved it! The staff was very friendly upon checking in, and personally greeted us (not just one person, multiple people). We let the concierge know ahead of time of some special requests, and he made magic happen... my husband and daughter couldn't figure out how our stay was so tailored to our vacation. Handpicked books were on the nightstand, and my special request was carried out beautifully. The junior suite was the perfect size for the three of us, and the high ceilings help to make the room feel even larger. I specifically liked the turn down service that included the next day's weather report, the tidying of our room each day, and the hospitality room (available at all hours from my experience and understanding). The hotel was clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was one of THE most comfortable hotel beds I've slept in. The location is perfect for catching the subway at Grand Central Terminal, and close to so much in the midtown area. We will most definitely stay here again.
