Quick Review: Hotel Roger Williams (New York)
Note: This also appears with my reviews over on Yelp.
Hotel Roger Williams has a boutique feel in the lobby and mezzanine areas, but there is more of an Ikea-powered dorm room feel to the guest rooms (with a hint of Grandma's house / B&B in the quilts they throw on the beds). Nonetheless, for ~$300 / night, it's a good deal and I would happily stay here again.
Two things I liked:
- Helpful staff. The folks at the front desk were very nice when I asked for some quick and casual dinner suggestions nearby. (Wound up getting a burger from Jackson Hole - liked it)
- 24-hour gym. It's small, but it's open 24-hours.
Two things that could have been better:
- Small work area. It's probably the best that could be done given the size of the room, but if you need to do some serious work or are staying for multiple nights, you might consider another place.
Go Pats!
- Single bathroom lighting option seems to be "romance". Don't get me wrong, that's a nice option to have. But what about a "shaving" option, too, so I can see my face while wielding a razor? The chic bathroom has a mini W-esque feel, but without the dedicated shaving mirror.
