9. The Royalton has emerged as our clear favorite - we all book it whenever our customer's corporate rate is available, and when that rate is not available, we are sad :(In comparison with other similarly-priced nearby hotels, the Royalton's advantages include:* Very spacious rooms, especially by neighborhood standards* Modern room decor * Outstanding bathroom - thick towels, powerful shower, European style shower controls* Big, comfortable bed and pillows - equal or better to Westin* Hip lobby - cool place to meet for a drinkIt wouldn't be a TripAdvisor review if I didn't indulge in a few nitpicks:* The only clock in the room is a tiny analog non-illuminated clock.
