If you like quiet at night and down to earth people, this is the place for you! The rooms are spacious, modern European artsy! My room had a kitchen, fireplace, and a lovely view of the old city. It was perfect. I was alone just seeing the sites, but I could see how this could be a perfect weekend romantic get away! I was there in March, during the snow storm that hit NYC 07, it was cold, snowing, and I did not get a chance to visit the beach that is within walking distance. The trolley was a great way to get around, and most people were really friendly, however, some need to learn their city a little better before giving advice on the best way to get to places. You can't buy a trolley pass on a Sunday, so don't try! The RI School of Design was a great treat as well as the Kennedy Center ... had I known how to ice skate... lots of people seem to be having a great time! The hotel is next door to several great restaurants and just a block off restaurant row. Rather business or pleasure, this is a real find, and very reasonable!
