Great small hotel with helpful staff.
I purchased a Groupon for two nights at this hotel. No lobby to speak of, but very helpful people at the front desk. Room was updated, clean and quiet, shower was great. Business office lets you use a computer for free for 15 minutes per day, then it gets pricey after that. The location of the hotel was Upper East Side, near the Central Park reservoir, which was great for a morning run. Sarabeth's, attached to the hotel, served a great breakfast, and we also had dinner at Paulo's around the corner - superb Italian food. The subway is a few blocks away, but not a bad walk; the hotel is in a very neighborhoody location, and people were out walking their children and dogs. I think the regular price of the hotel is a little pricey, but we felt it was good value with the groupon.
