The Lucerne looks very nice and is our favourite so far. Trivia corner- this place was initially constructed in 1903 as a dorm for Columbia University students. Erm..a con of this place is listed as "The visual style and bourgeois neighborhood may be too staid for some."
The Hotel Belleclaire is ok, nothing great. "For romantic travelers and especially budget conscious families" according to one review.
We have a couple of others to go to also
Amsterdamn Inn is looking for good for people on a budget. No lift (elevator) though so don't bring the kitchen sink.
