This place is a gem! It can be a bit congested in the lobby, but to be fair, there was a big wedding party that commanded a lot of space and attention. The facility and staff handled it brilliantly. Otherwise, everything about the hotel is perfect. Great neighborhood! Lots of outstanding dining options. Gramercy Tavern, arguably NYC’s best restaurant, is less than a 10 minute walk. Great Indian food around the corner, as well as the ever-popular bagel spot next door. If the crowd is too much, there’s a new one around the corner, 1 1/2 blocks down Park Ave. that’s equally good and still undiscovered. There’s even a barber shop next door! Anyone old enough to remember when hotels and clubs had barber shops where you could get a shave? (Not sure they do that) Whole Foods is a block and a half. If you ask, the staff will grab you a fridge for the room. My room faced an unscenic inner courtyard. It was just industrial. But guess what: super quiet! I kept a basket of fruit in my room I picked up from the fruit vendor out front. I wish the restaurant and had longer hours. Opens late. Closes early. But heck, it’s there if you want it. I’ll be back many times. I’m in NYC frequently. I think I found my new home away from home.
