The Strand Hotel

by Jennifer James

I love staying in hotels. I travel so often that it’s my hotel experiences that color my stay in a city. Since I am in New York quite often I have stayed at many a hotel. On one of my recent stays in New York I called The Strand Hotel home for a few days.

There are two things I look for first in a hotel: cleanliness and space. While my room at The Strand wasn’t huge, it was big enough for me because I wasn’t going to be in my room a lot anyway. And, the best part? The room and bathroom were both immaculate. I can’t ask for anything more than that. So without further ado…photos from my stay.

The only thing I didn’t like about The Strand is it’s on a side street and there weren’t very may taxis. That can be a pain. Plus, a lot of the taxi drivers didn’t want to do local rides. Other than that, it’s a great hotel if you don’t mind the possibility of having to walk to the main street to grab a cab if the doorman isn’t available.
