The William is a little bit shabby, but it’s still fun to walk in the entrance and up the old staircase. The room was clean and a little quirky. Delroy was very nice at check-in. I liked that there are only a few rooms on each floor, so you don’t hear tons of people going by. In fact we only heard people in the hall once in three days, and the room was very quiet even though it is right in Midtown. Easy walking to Grand Central, Bryant Park and all the way to Times Square.
