This is not my first Thompson hotel nor my last. There seems to be a formula that works for my demographic in these hotels, with distinguishing characteristics defining each individual property. This hotel is perfectly situated for the subway, which is 1 minute away, the Time Warner building, Lincoln Center and other Upper East Side attractions. Rooms are small but charming in a minimal but comfortable way, great sheets and bath products, etc. My only complaint is a $15 charge for the internet, just can't understand why a hotel with such classy aspirations would stoop to this charge, especially because there's free wi-fi in an adjacent Starbuck's.
Apart from that quibble, everything else was fabulous, with very attentive doormen/valets who actually act as concierges, and an obliging front desk staff. I had a great rate, I guess because it was off-season, and was upgraded to a larger room, which really made me feel I was getting something for nothing. The bathroom was under heated,
In summary, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who chooses this area as a desirable one in NYC. I will definitely be back in the future.
