“I appreciate the Upper West Side's more residential feel, and this property puts you right in that environment while keeping all of Manhattan accessible. The building itself has real history, and I noted that the spacious rooms and attentive service seemed especially well-suited to families or longer stays. The on-site French restaurant is a major draw, too.”
