Housed in a 19th-century townhouse, the gay-friendly Colonial House Inn is a pension with a flare for the New York art scene. Owner Mel Cheren has not only established a comfortable and charming abode (almost a B&B), but he has also managed to include an art gallery in the lobby.
Rooms are reminiscent of a cozy urban apartment: physically small, but comfortable and clean. Economy rooms (full-size bed) and Standard rooms (queen-size bed) have shared bathrooms. Deluxe rooms come with private facilities, a queen-size bed, and a fireplace.
Guests have access to the clothing-optional rooftop (good-bye tan lines!). Internet is available at a station in the lobby (clothing required), and a superb continental breakfast spread is included in the room rate.
