Hotel was built in 1911 a residence, but was turned into a hotel and continually updated to meet modern code. Room was exceptional, with a view of two streets in a corner room. Beds were firm, decor was perfect, and all staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient.

This is my second time at this property. It is a good option if staying on the UWS. The train station is on the same block which is very convenient. The staff is friendly. There are many great places to eat around the hotel including the one in the hotel. The room was clean. The beds could use an updated as the mattress would sink. The air conditioning unit was very loud and had to turn it off to sleep. I had a beautiful view. All in all recommend this property.
