The classic among the hotels in New York *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

This hotel captivates with its nostalgic charm, you feel like you are after entering through the Drehtüre step back in a bygone age. Even Frank Sinatra and J. F. Kennedy have stayed in this house. Some guests when challenged in her review the "old and worn out' decor, I can see see the old carpets and furnishings in silent witnesses a bygone era, all a story to tell. The staff was very friendly, spoke with a few exceptions only English, but that did not disturb me. (Who is traveling without knowledge to New York? ) The rooms are nicely furnished, even the Badezimmeramaturen had nostalgic charm. The hotel is not located directly on the TimeSquare but still very centrally located in Manhattan. There are plenty of opportunities, cheap and good breakfast, if a the prices in the hotel are too expensive. I would love to go back to this wonderful hotel, felt like I said, in an old, polished time back, I have stayed at several houses this category and thought this is considered one of the most charming and best.
