Eight simply delightful nights in New York
What a lovely experience. Our room 903 was beautiful and comfortable...perfect queen size bed and everything we needed for comfort. The young staff was particularly helpful and accommodating and the door men always welcoming and friendly. We particularly appreciated how quiet our front room was on the 9th floor...except for an occasional honking taxi, it couldn't have been nicer. Continental breakfast is included in a restaurant adjoining the lobby, but we preferred Au Bon Pain from Boston right across the street...and even better, a Pret a Manger from London down at the corner. To our surprise, Benoit, our favorite restaurant in Paris, has a New York location just east of the hotel on 55th...wonderful. When we next visit NYC, we'll be at the Blakely for sure... The free internet connection was a real plus too...and when we were discussing our departure, they suggested a wonderful car service...we rode to Kennedy in a black SUV with door to door service only about ten dollars more than a cab. Merci!!~!
