1. Offers of help were low key and we were comfortable moving in and out of the lobby without feeling like we were running the gauntlet to escape zealous if well meaning employees.

3. The Library exudes the air of a very friendly and comfortable club (though the lobby and elevator decor are nothing special).

5. Anyway, once we arrived at the hotel, it was very tastefully decorated in the lobby, the staff had fun with us as we discussed our 'themed' room based on the dewey decimal/literature theme.

8. YES it`s a great small boutique hotel, so if you like those 18 elevator lobby hotels that double as rent-a-car facilities, this isn`t your place; YES this place has great staff, in fact, they helped me with a very early check in, which was most appreciated; YES this place has a very wide assortment of DVDs to watch (that is, if you really get bored and have nothing else to do, which is really hard in a city like NYC); YES the rooms are small, but who cares.

"Great Sanctuary in Otherwise Crazy Town " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/13/2007 Vote

9. The library theme is carried out in the guest rooms, the public rooms, lobby and even the stairway.

10. The reception desk is across a different lobby, which is at a right angle from the hotel entrance/elevator access.
