Fodor's Review:

The sculpted cherubs on the facade and vintage magazine covers adorning the common areas hint at the Herald's previous incarnation as Life magazine's headquarters. The hotel is a great value. Rooms are basic and clean; all have TVs and phones with Wi-Fi; some were renovated with flat-screens. Shabby chic fixtures and white-on-white bedspreads round out the look. There's no concierge and no room service, but the staff is friendly, and nearby restaurants will deliver. It's a great bargain for the convenient neighborhood. Pros: cheap; centrally located. Cons: unattractive lobby; readers report inconsistent service.
