Random Pieces of Travel Knowledge: New York - The Roger Hotel

I've been traveling like a fool this year, and have decided to start documenting some of those travels - mainly the hotels, food, etc. that I've enjoyed. People come to me often and ask for recommendations so I'm passing on the goodness (and honestly keeping a quick journal for me for future use.)

So here goes. My first post is dedicated to the last hotel I stayed at in New York. If you know me well, you know I'm a bit of a hotel snob. I've stayed at some really nice hotels throughout the years so I love finding a quaint, reasonable boutique hotel. The beauty in boutique hotels is the level of service. Because they are smaller, they try to get to know you throughout your stay.

I went for a few days in June and stayed at the Roger Hotel in midtown. See below a breakdown of the pros and cons.

WHAT MADE IT GREAT:

• Atmosphere (See pictures below.....so beautiful and quaint)
• Location - a block from the empire state building, a few blocks from Union Station, a few blocks from Bryant Park (I felt like a local but could quickly get to some cool touristy places too)
• Food - I ate room service one day for lunch and it was delicious!

SOMETHING THEY COULD WORK ON:

• The bathroom was really small....like really small.
• I'm guessing that some of the rooms were really small as well. I stayed in a room with two beds and my room was big.
