This place is seriously cool even for NYC. Service was always nice and very agreeable. The outdoor rooftop garden is a wonderful escape. Rooms are small, but aren't most in the city? Enjoyed it and will return.
- Pros: rooftop garden, amenities, service/staff
- Cons: , cramped rooms

Hidden Charm
by randallw
We had to go to a function at the Waldorf, but we didn't want to stay there, so we entered NY 10017 into Citysearch and this popped up as highly rated. It couldn't have been nicer. Just 60 rooms, but with a great location. Clean, quiet (for NY), and low-key with an amusing theme. Breakfast, included, was good. Nice indoor sitting area with cityviews and fireplace on the roof. We can't wait to go back. Our friends who stayed at the Plaza were jealous. We were not nickled and dimed, either. Free amenities like bottled water, afternoon wine, and videos to watch.
- Pros: Generous, Warm Atmosphere, Quaint
