I was happy to have stumbled upon this hotel. It was very lovely and the location was perfect. The common space swanky, there was a band playing when we arrived, there is a nice hotel bar on site and outdoor patio too. Overall, everyone was very pleasant and accommodating and the rooms comfortable and clean. The only thing that caught me off guard was the $41 "destination fee" per night on top of the rate that I signed up for to cover things I didn't need i.e. long distance calls, wi-fi, 25% off for Classic Hop On and Hop Off Big Bus tour, One Complimentary daily Citibike® Pass and a $10 Beverage allowance per day, redeemable in the Lobby Bar. While I later came to find out and it was explained to me that this is a NYC thing (but as I read up further, only certain hotels charge for it), I wish I was informed of it before I booked so there was a level playing field in comparing costs of places to stay in the area.
