3. I spent one night at the Duane Street Hotel as part of a business trip in March 2012 - it is a small boutique hotel that is well designed and they make every inch of space count - love the decor of the rooms mine was wasabi green with a pine platform bed (I kept walking into the base so be warned) and the bed was probably the most comfortable one I have ever slept in - flat screen tv and a glass shower (I hate shower curtains) - because of a cooking smell in my room through the ventilation system I wanted to open the window but had trouble with the second pane so I called the front desk and within about 2 minutes a young lady came up and helped me open it.
