It was a good location. It was nice to have a family sized room that would sleep 5 people and have three beds. It was nice to find a place that offered free breakfast. Check-in and check out were very easy. Always plenty of hot water for showers. Beds were comfortable. Things we didn’t like. Our room cards didn’t work multiple times and a couple times we got stuck in the elevator because of it. was not a big fan of the bathroom being see-through. Not enough outlets. had a very bad experience at the restaurant with very poor service. And to top that off the server put our table down as a 6 person table instead of 5 to force an 18% tip. When we checked out of a room and we were waiting for about an hour to leave for our train there was no available bathroom in the lobby area. On the positive side the lobby area very comfortable couches.

Staff were helpful and informed. Clean room and the rest of hotel appeared clean as well . Location was terrific.

Having worked in libraries when I was young and volunteered in a Nica library when I was old the name drew me to the hotel but also that it was on Madison Ave right by Bryant Park. Very cool without being hipster, yeah which means the hotel had a closet with plenty of hangers, drawers, the right amenities in addition to a great location, fantastic staff and yes lots of shelves with books. One floor not only had books but a piano with lots of drinks and snacks but also was opened 24/7. The "Rooftop" which was on my filters had an excellent creative comfortable design with a small menu for food and of course drinks, also had wonderful indoors spots. While with only 14 intimate floors you don't get the best sunsets but you get cracks between buildings and a pink sky above. I even found a book in the lobby of Magritte that was published in Spain and had photos of his paintings I had ever seen before. Not the icing on the cake but the candles to brighten my experience.

Loved the location and the staff was great. The property was in need of a refresh - tile in the shower was old, the elevator door was held together by duct tape, the towels were frayed and overall, it was just tired looking. The fitness area was being renovated which we were unaware of when we booked, which was disappointing.
