1. Only a block from NYC Library; we saw a great exhibit there and the architecture is awe inspiring.

2. Perhaps they have switched to using energy saving bulbs now? Not even a good task light anywhere in the room, it felt awful at night trying to read or do computer work.

"Great hotel concept and location, but is now worn, feels dark, and has lost the "special" feeling. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/10/2011 Vote

3. Was I wrong to expect a better breakfast option? The reading room was a major selling point but it has an awful claustrophobic feel to it.
