While we love our furry friends, our hotel is very small and unfortunately, we do not accept pets at this time. Guests that need service animals for some extra help are more than welcome to bring them along.

All of our rooms are surprisingly quiet. Our windows are double-paned, and face either 26th Street or Park Avenue South. Each floor in our hotel has the same room layout, so depending on which room you have booked also determines which street you are facing. Although our first priority is to accommodate your room type, we keep in mind your request for a quiet room or a high floor. Since we are a small hotel or only 72 rooms and 11 sleeping room floors, please do not be disappointed if we cannot fulfill all requests.

Absolutely! We offer same day dry cleaning and laundry service for articles handed in before 9:00am Monday to Saturday. Laundry/Valet bags and forms are available in the bedroom closet.

Any booking of 5 or more rooms is considered a group and must be reserved by our Sales Office. One of the team members would be delighted to help you!

The easiest way to make sure you get the best deal is to book direct! If you see a better deal through an online travel agency, let us know. We will always make sure to offer the best rate possible.
