"The hotel possessed all of the old world charm I was hoping to find which of course also included the lack of modern amenities such as a coffee pot in each room. Do know that this was a minor inconvenience as there are two coffee shops immediately adjacent to the property. The rooftop bar with its access to the outdoors was charming as well. Unfortunately, we did experience a rather rude manager on duty (throughout our stay) and I got to witness him in action several times - he could surely use more training on how to deal with the pressures of running a front office staff. As a stand alone the staff members were great however with the manager on the floor everyone, including the guests, were uncomfortable. Would I stay there again?? Yes I would as I thought it offered great accessibility to Central Park, Fifth Avenue, the subway, Lincoln Center and The Big Red Bus tours."
