November 6 2007: We stayed here for our annual holiday trip to NYC. The hotel is very modern, but super family friendly. They helped with a babysitting service for our two little ones... so we went out to dinner to Per Se, and felt assured that the kiddos were in good hands. All in all, a great experience.
