This is my second stay at Moderne, and excellent both times. The room is modern, clean, comfortable. Shower is wonderful. One thing I don't like too much is the tray in the shower holding shampoo etc. It is a wire tray and the small bottles of shower products tip over easily. It would be better to have a tray with a solid base. Also, the shower products could be just a bit larger, not huge but maybe half again the current size. But this is a minor matter. The best thing about the hotel is the staff. Friendly, good-humored, efficient. We had a lot of laugh about Halloween costumes on the street while I was checking in. And the next morning when I couldn't figure out how to use the coffee/tea machine in the second floor lounge, the woman at the desk came up and gave me instructions. Very helpful. I like this hotel very much, and it will be my choice whenever I want to stay in this part of Manhattan. It is very close to MoMA and has a lot of good restaurants of every kind and level. Highly recommend this hotel.
