As the story goes…
One evening many years ago two brothers on business in the Big Apple
missed their train ride home. Being from out of town, getting late into
the evening, and not knowing the landscape, they cooled off in a pub and
thumbed through the yellow pages in search of a hotel room. Each call was
hopeless — either fully booked or well beyond the means of two
budget-minded travelers. By 2 am and down to their last nickel, they
finally located a hotel room in an obscure and noisy part of town.
Groggy from a sleepless night on a rock hard bed, they began their trek
home. While on the train they came up with a novel idea. Convert abandoned
brownstones into affordable, quaint, European-style boutiques that are
affordable and comfortable for people on the go and on a limited budget.
As the younger brother exclaims, "People want a quality hotel in a decent
part of town at an affordable price." The older brother continues, "With
so many empty brownstones in great locations throughout the city, we saw
an opportunity to not only build a community and improve the neighborhood,
but recognize the importance of offering a quality and affordable hotel,
with personalized service for the budget-minded traveler."
As we learn from the Murray Hill Inn, amidst a sea of overpriced flagship
hotels there can be quality, affordable, and personalized service for the
budget-minded traveler.
