Fodor's Review:

The cozy English clubhouse-like lobby sets the tone for this hotel, with plenty of maple and cherry paneling, large library chairs, and leather-bound books along the walls. The rooms also have that English lived-in quality, at 310 square feet with fully equipped kitchenettes, large work areas, and CD and DVD players. The dark-wood touches and rich fabrics add a stylish touch. Abboccato, the well-reviewed Italian restaurant, provides room service. Pros: central location; good-size rooms; free Internet. Cons: rooms facing 54th Street can be noisy; some rooms have little natural light.
