Room-Mate Grace

The hubs and I took a quick trip to NYC this past weekend, leaving the day after the USAirways plane landed in the Hudson River. We reasoned that freakish accidents do not typically happen two days in a row, so we went along our merry way. We had a very scary landing in Laguardia and almost thought our freakish accident theory would be debunked, but it all turned out o.k. Although this trip was planned, we left our accomodation details until the last minute. I had been checking daily for hotel deals and finally found the perfect spot a few days before our departure.

I can not say enough great things about our cute little hotel, Room-Mate Grace. With a wonderful location and a great price, it was unbeatable. And we would stay there again in a skinny minute! It was small, sleek, modern and cozy..just the way I like it. This chain of hotels has numerous locations in Europe, so it had a definite European vibe. They even offer breakfast every morning until 12 that consisted of : cereal, yogurt with fresh berries, hard-boiled eggs, pastries, bagels with cream cheese, ham, cheese, fruit, juice and the ever-important cappuccino. They also have an indoor, heated pool with a swim-up bar. It gets pretty lively in the late hours. Our room was small, very small, but it turned out perfect. Each room has a small empty refrigerator that you can stock with items from the kiosk downstairs or from the corner deli. Do I sound like a commercial yet?
