and beige tones, with mahogany wood paneling on the walls. A collection of elegant armchairs and couches provide seating, while round turquoise planters sitting atop coffee tables add a pop of bright color and add a bit of greenery. Most of the guests staying
here during the week are business travelers visiting nearby Wall Street and companies
located in the financial district, while weekends draw many couples and leisure travelers seeking to sightsee. Travelers should note that guests complain of slow elevators, which can be a nuisance.
