We had a lovely time at the Library Hotel. It’s very cozy place with a great rooftop bar and a nice lounge with snacks, tea, coffee, and soft drinks included. Best of all it’s a very short walk to Bryant Park, Grand Central, the theater district, and it’s easy to get any where in the city from the location.

Resort charge? What?

Modest mid town building with comfortable rooms in great location. Huge drawback is the breakfast which I paid for fit 5 nights- everything tastes like cardboard, mediocre coffee, terrible bread. In addition they add an unannounced charge “resort” fee for WiFi and a depressing room they call a lounge with coffee and a few cold drinks- definitely not worth $25 per day and a devious and semi illegal practice.
