We loved the location, but...

Liked: We did not dine there because they are in the process of perfecting their restaurant. However, we did bring food in to entertain friends and they exceeded our expectations whey they provided and delivered all of the dishes, flatware, napkins, bottled water, and ice!
Disliked: I cannot think of one thing that was a turn off. We will definitely stay there the next time we are in the City.

Half a block West of...

Liked: The Lobby and Mezzanine Level was really nice. And I loved the art on the walls, and the fact that the whole feeling of the fotel was not so "corporate" but more individual, including how all staff members addressed you. The furniture design in the room was pretty nice as well, and the bedlinen just felt wonderful. Plus the minibar offered a very creative range of choices, and really invited to dive into (which we otherwise never do!)
Disliked: The breakfast was really poor - and although it was written up on the website that there is only a small cereal breakfast, when you go to the breakfast bar and see how loveless it is being maintained, that is really a disappointment. No fruit at all when I got there Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, a couple of bananas and clementines (yes, 2 pieces each on the entire breakfast buffet, displayed on a pink plastic tray!) on Sunday. Paper cups and the worst coffee I have had in a long while did not add to the experience - at least the tea was good! As I said, the breakfast description on the web and in the room is pretty much correct, but the way the little choice there was is displayed really does not live up to the standard the hotel wants to reach otherwise. In the room, we missed an extra option to put down our clothes - the wardrobe was small for two, and there were no hangers on the wall to hang our wet coats.
