"The first thing you’ll notice at Roger Williams is the use of colour; the Scandinavian/Japanese fusion rooms utilize both mellow and vibrant tones."
Frommer's "One of the top choices in what is a quiet yet convenient Midtown location." Full review
Fodor's "A colorful choice in a rather plain neighborhood, the Roger continues to have a following among repeat visitors to New York, especially since its 2012 redesign." Full review
Jetsetter "Dapper New York dandy with classic cocktails and New American fare on Madison Avenue." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A stylish option for those with a little more to spend, and the amenities make it worth the price – free breakfast, all-day serve-yourself coffee and treats, and a DVD library."
Star Service "There is nothing ironic or skeptical or raunchy about it. It's just a refreshing, clean, well-lighted oasis of hospitality." Full review
Gayot "This hotel is a charmer that appeals to the fashion crowd. It's located near The Morgan Library and the Fashion District."
BlackBook "Comfortably sleeps the business associate on the road or the in-tune out-of-towner. Simple, modern, sophisticated style features plenty of color."
Lonely Planet "A cheery little boutique hotel in a great locale."

Rough Guide "The Library’s concept, one of New York hostelry’s quirkier, has each floor devoted to one of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System."
Michelin Guide "This place is one-of-a-kind and offers a different slant on harried midtown east."
Frommer's "The Library’s public spaces... all help make it a welcome refuge in the heart of the city." Full review
Concierge "Apart from the good-looking rooms and appealing public spaces, including a rooftop bar and second-floor book-filled lounge, this hotel, located near Grand Central Terminal, wins points on generosity."
Fodor's "Bookishly handsome... the staff is hospitable, and the whole property is old-leather-armchair comfortable." Full review
Insight Guides "The nearby New York Public Library inspires this unique Midtown oasis, where lounges and guestrooms are filled with books."

You can choose your room according to a subject of interest to you (literature, science, erotica).
Travel + Leisure "Although nonbibliophiles may find it a tad precious, it's hard not to be charmed by the schtick of this bookish hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This unique boutique hotel features cleverly designed rooms organized around a library theme."
Time Out "This bookish boutique hotel is organized on the principles of the Dewey decimal system—each of its ten floors is allocated a category, such as Literature, the Arts and General Knowledge." Full review
Gayot "It's fitting that this unique hotel resides just blocks from the famed New York Public Library. The property is crammed with more than 6,000 books, all arranged using the Dewey Decimal System."
