Fodor's Review:

New owners and complete room renovation make this boutique hotel worth a look, even though the service is more perfunctory than welcoming. Business travelers like the location a block from Grand Central, and the Benjamin, its grand steak house within. The 1903 Beaux-Arts-style building includes ornate plasterwork on the facade and a stunning marble staircase spiraling up its three floors. The 11-foot ceilings (the lower the floor, the higher the ceilings) give the modern guest rooms a touch of grandeur, and the beakers that serve as glasses in the bathrooms are a clever nod to the building's past as home of the Chemists Club. Alas, some of the rooms remain small and dark, even post-reconstruction. Pros: central location; free Internet; new room furnishings. Cons: inattentive service; small fitness center; pricey for limited amenities.

This hotel has a great atmosphere and an even better location. It's just a block or so from the train station, so it's cheap and easy getting all over the city. The staff were friendly and helpful.
