Fodor's Expert Review The Roger

A colorful choice in a rather plain neighborhood, the Roger has a following among repeat visitors who appreciate its local vibe. The lobby, with its blue tufted couches and black-and-white photographs, is a great place to relax (natural light pours in from oversized picture windows), and rooms are similarly cheerful. The hotel's lounge serves American fare at reasonable prices, and the breakfast buffet includes local faves like H&H bagels and Petrossian smoked salmon.
