A bit of Charm and Character Perhaps; better without pugs sleeping on lobby chairs
Admittedly the hotel had some character,and the staff were quite friendly/helpful, however did not appreciate owner's pet pug lounging on lobby chairs, and generally musty/smelly carpets... They offered free wine etc for happy hour, but it was of course bad/undrinkable..as my sister says "Just because its free doesn't mean you have to drink it..."
The room was fine/not small, but perhaps cluttered in effort to maintain artsy/literary theme. 
Bathroom was big and toiletries good quality. Good coffee and free NYT provided in a.m. Perhaps it was good/above average, but NOT very good.
