Newly renovated hotel a few blocks away from Manhattan. The heavenly bed and shower are the best known assets of this hotel and are absolute state of the art. The staff is very friendly and I liked the new breakfast concept most. Apart from a la carte menu, there is a breakfast bar where you can choose and pick up a 'on the go' breakfast. In the case you go to New York for a city trip and want to be close to the public transport, museums, broadway and the shops, this is your best pick. … read more
