We truly enjoyed our recent return visit to NYC, staying for 5 nights at Hotel Scherman. If you are looking for a big, steel and glass hotel, this is not it. It is very much a European style boutique hotel. Located right in Hells Kitchen area, it is surrounded by jazz clubs and restaurants. Even though it is just 2 blocks from the theatres and Times Square, the hotel rooms are extremely quiet, very unusual for NYC! There is no lobby, but the rooms are large and yet cozy, and the bathroom and walk in shower have lots of room to move around in. A very large continental breakfast is provided each morning on the charming mezzanine with lots of choices of breads, fruits, cereals and hard boiled eggs. We had some unexpected issues with the plumbing and the manager quickly moved us to a new room and provided a nights refund. We would definitely choose this lovely hotel again for its comfort and great location for attending the theatre and great restaurants!
