I have stayed here a few times now. In Gramercy Park about 1-2 blocks away from Gramercy Park. This hotel is located in an affluent neighborhood near cool little bars and coffee shops super close by. They have 2 bars in the hotel-3 really, but 1 is not affiliated with the hotel and you have to go outside to the side street to get into the rooftop one. And of of those bars(in the 3rd floor that is affiliated with the hotel) becomes a club on the weekend. And the other bar, affiliated with the hotel, is also on the opposite side of the 3rd floor and that is small, comfy and cozy with dim lighting, couches, and very lounge-like and a cool place to be romantic with a date. They have their own eatery/restaurant on the bottom floor of the hotel (near the check-in counter) which is on one side and also a place that does coffee in lobby on the other side. Both of these eateries(on the bottom floor) have an inside and outside eating area too. And a cool vintage Pac-Man arcade game in the lobby which is fun to pass to for both kids and adults alike. Staff and guests are cool and helpful. When in doubt stay here. Highly recommended!
