Style over substance.
Staying at Sanctuary was an odd experience. The staff were mostly polite, and very helpful, but the rooms (or should I say boudoirs) are tiny, even poky. The decor is over designed, and there is a feeling of it being staged, as a home for sale might be, rather than designed with guests in mind; For example, in the little space, even one extra bolster which has to be moved around the room so that you can get into the shower only highlights the lack of space - poor design. The common areas of the hotel seemed to want to be a night club, the lighting is kept low all through the day, and though they spout green, eco intentions, one gets the feeling it's all about saving money - an impression which is added to buy the corners cut in the breakfast room, cardboard frozen yoghurt cups instead of bowls, thick stonewear cups to cut down juice portions, and - unforgivably, in New York - stale bagels!
Most annoyingly, the breakfast area is also small, with just a few plastic tables, most pushed together in a common table, which is too close to the buffet to be fully utilised. I did not understand why they could not have a few more plastic tables and spread them into the rather large bar area, just for the morning - rather than asking guest to crouch at coffee tables, or perch on bar stools. It was distressing to watch an elderly couple wandering about with their cardboard cups of cereal, searching for a table, and being directed to the tall bar tables by a young waitress, without an ounce of empathy, or even a wince of apology. The couple politely took the tables, but the fear in the wife's eyes as the elderly man climbed onto the stool was palpable. 
The intention of this hotel is clear, but it really does feel like an entrepreneur's first foray into hospitality, and he hasn't quite worked out the priorities. Not recommended for anyone but singles, despite the great location.
