Needs update.

The hotel needs current chargers for tech, a microwave and a small fridge for the price. Even Best Western has this. And the elevators are slow and need updating for the price.

Lovely old style hotel

Loved the old world style and furnishings of this hotel. Our room was large with a very comfortable bed. Shower was huge. Air conditioning unit in the room was noisier than we were used to. We had a great view from our room. We were a stones throw from the tube station. Lots of great places to eat within a short walking distance. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly.

Great property, location, outstanding staff, addressed issue with AC immediately. Unfortunately AC did go out the next morning as we were preparing to check out. Bathroom is small, understandably it’s an older building, but for the nightly price I’d expected better.

Nostalgic delight

Bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept on. The long pillows and vigorous AC were much appreciated. Fixtures were all refreshingly old-fashioned (a tub with stationary shower head!) but in excellent condition. In-room coffee makers and free housekeeping are endangered species in NYC hotels, so I was delighted to find them here! If you miss the way hotels "used to be" you owe it to yourself to stay here! Location was also perfect, for either theaters or museums, and only steps away from many excellent restaurants.
