A reporter from the Washington Post hit the Meat Packing District of NYC to check in on good old Hotel Gansevoort.

He gave this review of the hotel amidst the actual meatpacking businesses:

"Down the block, the Hotel Gansevoort was at the opposite end of the trendiness spectrum. The lobby was decorated with the bold colors and spartan furniture common in fashionable boutique properties.

My room, spacious by New York standards, had a comfortable queen-size bed, big power shower and modern tech gadgets, including a DVD and CD player and a flat-screen TV.

Best of all, it featured a view of the midtown Manhattan cityscape, including the Empire State Building.

The guests were mostly young and upscale. Hans Jacobsen, a 34-year-old designer visiting from Amsterdam, was typical. 'It's just the kind of place with a buzz I like to be in in New York,' he said."

And the Roll-A-Cover roof is cool as well.

Could Hotel Gansevoort be turning the corner?
