My room had a loud and unreliable heater, holes in the plaster in the walls. I would not recommend this hotel, especially for the money. Disappointed.

Very clean and comfortable. The hotel street appearance worried me since I had never stayed there but once we got settled we had a great experience.

It was a pleasant stay, the room was small but very clean and quaint. The only complaint was that the AC did not work very well so we kept the bathroom window slightly open to keep the room cool. It was comfortable in October but I imagine it would be unbearable in the summer months. We couldn't find the remote to the TV and the staff did not bring one up but other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

Reasonable price, great location, a little like a tired dowager--beautiful old details, but makeshift modern repairs. Would stay again because of price and location.

I love this little hotel, where I have stayed twice. It is old school so if you like modern trendy places this may not be for you, but it's my fav type of hotel. The beds are very comfy, they brought up extra pillows on request, and it was clean and cozy. The continental breakfast is a nice start to the day, and they provide luggage storage which is a big help for that quick overnight trip to NYC.
