Reviews
This is actually from Lady Mendl, where we had high tea. Save space for the scones!
I absolutely loved staying at the Inn. This was such a gift of a place. After looking between AirBnB and hotel options in the area, we’re so glad that the Inn was available. The room was ready for my husband and I upon arrival - AC was on and the room was spotless and clean. I loooved the old world style and decor of our room- and the overall property! We stayed in the O’Henry and it was absolutely perfect for the both of us. Elijah was there to welcome us on our very late check in (we arrived very early morning 2am). When you book here, definitely don’t expect all the bells and whistles of our “normal” century hotel stay as it’s very small (only 9 guest rooms total) and our key was a real metal house key that isn’t digital or electronic. Very old school - BUT I honestly loved the simplicity of it all. The nostalgia was just divino. Our overall experience felt very homey and cozy: starting from the website to the check in to the customer service and amenities. The location was perfect for us in what we were visiting NYC for! I will definitely stay again 🩵
