What Hotel 17 actually is
Hotel 17 occupies a townhouse on East 17th Street near Stuyvesant Square, and it has a real place in New York's cultural record — Woody Allen filmed part of Manhattan Murder Mystery here, and Madonna shot a Vanity Fair spread in one of the rooms.
Accommodation is basic: small rooms, mostly with shared bathrooms, in an old building with narrow stairs. What it offers is a genuinely quiet residential Gramercy street at one of the lowest rates in Manhattan, five minutes from Union Square.
