I had a great stay! My room on the 12th floor was tiny but the bed was comfortable, the internet worked fine (and there was a desk where I could do some work), and the bathroom was surprisingly good for NY, where it's rare to encounter a good shower head. The rooftop bar is soooo cool, there's a great cafe right next door (get the English muffin breakfast sandwich!), and there's another lovely hangout space on the 2nd floor. Very cool spot overall and although there's not a whole lot going on in Kips Bay relative to other neighborhoods, it's not far (either walking or by train) from other more desirable locales.
