Frommer's Review

From the moment you're buzzed into this well-secured inn, you'll know you're not in a generic bed-and-breakfast. The romantically homey rooms are warm and cozy -- the perfect place to snuggle up with a good book. They're also quite big, with hardwood entryways, rich dark-wood furniture, working fireplaces, and an assortment of books tucked in nooks. The decor is English elegance at its best, if not to excess (floral prints and ceramic bric-a-brac abound). The luxury king suites are not much better than regular rooms, just a wee bit bigger, and feature perks like evening turndown, bathrobes, and a wet bar stocked with complimentary beverages. Each morning, a breakfast buffet is served in a common room just off a tiny garden. Afternoon reception, consisting of hors d'oeuvres, sherry, wine, and home-baked pastries, can be enjoyed in front of the fireplace while you browse through the books in the library or in the parlor.

The inn's location -- 2 1/2 blocks from Union Square -- makes this nonsmoking 1900s building a charming and serene choice, with service and style that will please travelers of all ages.

Facilities:
Small exercise room; concierge; same-day laundry service; Internet station in conference room (20¢/min.)
