Boasting a great location in the West Village, these two red-brick, landmark town houses were built in 1841 and later became the city’s first gay inn. Today, the 11 rooms get booked way in advance by many queer travelers; call early to get in on its gorgeous Victorian parlor and antique-filled, serious-Americana rooms.
The Garden Suite is especially picturesque as it has access to a small garden out back. The hotel advertises wi-fi that reaches all the rooms, but it's not always reliable. It does have a computer in the parlor that is free for guests to use.
