Sure, the rooms were small but they were comfortable, well-designed and stocked with great amenities. The hotel's location in Gramercy also allowed us to be close to both the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Gramercy+Park+Hotel/local/4">Gramercy Park Hotel</a> for dinner and JFK for an early morning flight out. <p>But best of all, we nabbed that room for just $179 a night on Bookit.com, at a time when all other respectable hotels in Manhattan were starting at $300.<p>And now it looks like we're not the only ones who are fans of The Marcel. <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/sightings_uUiq5nm186qB0obk7tj9xK">Page Six</a> reports that <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/matt damon"><b>Matt Damon</b></a> and his wife were juliana 2010-06-23T10:25:56-05:00 40.7394913 -73.982617 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/4/15/163527/987 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/mattdamonname.png" class="imgborder"><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Matt%20Damon"><b>Matt Damon</b></a> might want to do some brainstorming about the fake names he uses when he checks into hotels. <p>Some <a href="http://www.dailystar.co.uk/thebiz/view/34893/Matt-s-secret-hotel-name/">gossip columnist</a> in the UK is reporting that Damon checked into the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+May+Fair/ian/106180"><b>May Fair Hotel</b></a> under the name, Arthur Ripley. As in <i>The Talented Mr. Ripley.</i> Granted the character's name is Tom Ripley. But still, a little too close to home. And FYI: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Ripley">Arthur Ripley</a> is a dead screenwriter. Also:<blockquote><p>Matt told me in the hotel's cocktail bar: "I stay in a different hotel weekly when filming so that I don't get bored.</blockquote></p><p>Let's hope he's not using other obvious names like Will Hunting or Jason Bourne in those places.
