1. The elevator can be slow and the water pressure in the shower is poor but the building was built in 1920's so there isn't much they can do to fix those issues.

"Wonderful small boutique hotel ! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/22/2012 Vote

2. There is only one slow and old elevator that services all 15 floors, so be prepared to wait.

"Very disappointing hotel. Old, tired and noisy " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/13/2012 Vote

3. Even the slow old lift is amusing after several cocktails (although this might be a bit of a bother for a businessperson who is in a hurry).

4. Now the few negatives: the entire hotel is serviced by one old, slow elevator.

5. The elevator can be a bit slow, but not a big deal in light of the great qualities of this hotel.

6. The other downside of this hotel, apart from 1 lift which is terribly slow, is the 'lounge' where breakfast is served.

9. Stayed at this hotel for 3 days whilst visiting New York, very nice hotel and good value for money,staff very helpful, it was our wedding anniversary and were presented with some prosecco and chocolates which was a nice touch, bed comfy, and decor nice, full of lovely antiques and beautiful floral displays, only downside there was only one lift which was quite slow, and wished there had been a bar in hotel, also didn,t really enjoy the continental breakfast, and one morning it was so busy we had to sit in the foyer, people were saying that this was quite unusual, but overall had a good nights sleep and would recommend this hotel very reasonably priced for New York.

10. Not only was it free it seemed to be a pretty quick connection as opposed to come hotels which can have very slow connections.
