Between Fifth and Sixth Avenues on West 17th Street is a funky, charming hotel with a desirable address. The four-story walk-up is two blocks from Union Square, three blocks from Greenwich Village and three blocks from the famous shops on Lower Fifth Avenue. Continental breakfast at the downstairs pastry shop is included with every room. Guestrooms feature country quilts and thrift shop antiques. Bathroom walls are painted by art students at Yale and Parsons School of Design. All guestrooms and suites include kitchenettes, coffeemakers, and in-room safes. Select guestrooms overlook a quaint courtyard with an ivy-draped fence. Young, budget-conscious travelers will appreciate this eclectic, kitschy hotel just steps from top Manhattan attractions. Bear in mind that bath facilities are shared, not private.
