We checked in after arriving from Iceland, so we were tired due to the time difference. It was a very friendly welcome at reception, he checked us in, made sure we knew everything we needed to know and off we went to our room. The room was a good size! Warm and cosy, with everything you need. There is no tea/coffee facilities as you go to the 2nd Floor where there is an amazing lounge, with comfy seating areas, a piano, flowers and everything you could need; a variety of teas, coffee, milks, cans of pop, fruit, nuts, fruit bars, etc This is available 24/7 and is serviced continually. Then, there is the 14th Floor, Bookmarks Lounge and Bar, an outdoor terrace with heaters (which we did use!) and a lovely conservatory lounge which was lit beautifully. We spent time inside and outside, the service was amazing, the staff were friendly. A pint of beer is $10 and a bottle of red wine was $64 (I cried a little....) There was a beautiful restaurant on the ground floor, the Madison & Vine, it looked delightful, but we didn't have time to go in, they did some amazing offers for champagne and oysters for $35 and it was always busy! We stayed for 4 nights and had an amazing time, we walked miles, we took power naps and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Stephen the doorman was always ready to listen to the days adventures and offer advice with a huge smile. We loved him! All in all, a great hotel, great location, staff were amazing and we loved it. (And if you have time, there are plenty of books to read!)Show More

The lobby is small but well decorated and the public reading, coffee/snack room on the second floor is a wonderful break at the beginning and end of the day. That said, I’m surprised about the number and consistency of the 5-star reviews. The rooms are exceptionally small unless you book a suite, even by New York City standards. The furniture is dated and showing wear, particularly the wooden furniture in the bedrooms and the upholstered furniture in the second floor lounge space. Rooms need updating for the 21st century, none of the rooms have sufficient plugs for electronics let alone dedicated USB inserts. The snacks in the common area are limited to fruit. A few pastries, or other portable snack options or breakfast items would be much appreciated, especially at these hotel prices. The crowd runs more mature and the hotel is definitely a quiet space to get a break from the hustle and bustle of Midtown Manhattan. I would consider staying here again if the rooms were refreshed to current standards, but there are many other fantastic options in the neighborhood to consider for the next visit.Show More

I traveled with my sister and niece for a literary-themed trip to visit The Morgan Library, Argosy Bookstore, and of course, the NYPL Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. The hotel location is perfect for these destinations, and we also had a delightful time exploring other parts of Manhattan as well. We loved our rooms and the themed book selections, and enjoyed a LOT of time in the Reading Room, where we visited, read, ate a light snack and had coffee / tea in between adventures. Having this place to land was so helpful when traveling! We ate dinner at Madison & Vine and all three of us greatly enjoyed our meals. We can't wait to return so we can also check out the Bookmarks Lounge! As a librarian and extreme bibliophile, this hotel really made my NYC dreams come true.Show More
