The Location at Library Hotel by Library Hotel Collection

"This intimate boutique is missing many features guests may expect at this price point (such as a fitness center), and the stodgy Midtown location isn't as trendy as many of the guests who choose to stay here, but the cozy lounges, contemporary (if small) book-filled rooms, and thoughtful extras such as free wine and cheese help make this one of the most charming picks in the neighborhood"

"Bibliophiles relish this "quaint", "cozy" Midtown oasis, teeming with "books everywhere", including in the "cute, library-themed rooms" (each floor is themed to a different category of the Dewey Decimal System); worker bees appreciate the "great" location "near Grand Central", and thanks to a "warm and cordial" staff, plus such freebies as WiFi, breakfast and a wine reception, admirers say they "will definitely return" to the "unique", "sweet spot"

"Here at the Library (it’s located one block from the New York Public Library), each room is named for a different category of literature from art to children’s literature to erotic tomes (and if you pick the Erotic Books room, you’ll get a healthy dose of Anais Nin on your shelves)"

"Apart from the good-looking rooms and appealing public spaces, including a rooftop bar and second-floor book-filled lounge, this hotel, located near Grand Central Terminal, wins points on generosity: Continental breakfast and nightly wine and cheese are free, as are WiFi, snacks during the day, and videos"

"This bookish boutique hotel is organized on the principles of the Dewey decimal system—each of its ten floors is allocated a category, such as Literature, the Arts and General Knowledge, and each elegantly understated room contains a collection of books and artwork pertaining to a subject within that category"
