My husband and I stayed at the Box Tree in June after returning from our honeymoon. We booked the room on expedia for about $200.

We stayed here for 3 nights in August 2004. The room was comfortable, bathroom tiny, had a great shower and plenty of hot water.

Disappointed in the advertised "complimentary breakfast delivered daily to guestrooms" ...this consisted of a coffee maker... More

The Box Tree was a perfect place to stay for a romantic weekend in New York. The fact that each room is decorated in a particular style makes it special. Absolutely exquisite. Breakfast was served in our room in the morning, with a fire burning in the fireplace and a rose on the table. We will never forget it.
