The Blakely has a clubby yet modern feel to it and is an excellent small-Midtown-hotel option. The rooms are all generously sized: None are smaller than 300 square feet and, if it matters to you, some have views of the City Center dome across the street. The dark cherrywood furniture helps perpetuate the clubhouse aura that is contrasted, happily, by modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and wireless Internet in all the rooms. Marble bathrooms are well sized and appointed; bathroom suites have separate tubs and showers. The lobby, though redesigned after the renovation, remains small and can get hectic at times, but the staff is helpful and efficient. Off the lobby is the Italian restaurant Abboccato, from the owners of Oceana and Molyvos.
