<p>Please post a review…the Colony looks like a good deal.</p>

<p>Louis’ Lunch is only a couple of blocks away. Pepes and Sally’s are within walking distance if it’s a nice day.</p>
<p>anybody ever brave the Duncan Hotel? it is considered somewhat ‘quaint’ which can mean so many things,…I have a reservation for next weekend and am just hoping that the significance of my seeing Urinetown that evening won’t spill out beyond the theatre.</p>
<p>Here is a review of the Duncan from tripadvisor.com which I use all the time. I personally have never stayed there…
In taking into consideration the comfort for cost ratio I must give this hotel an “above average” rating.
I paid $50/night (plus $6.00 taxes/night) and had a teriffic room. It was spotless, had a tv, maybe not all the niceties one is used to but for me it was just fine.
It is very close to virtually everything…Yale U, museums, restaurants.
I found the staff to be helpful and congenial.
I’ve stayed in hotels where I have paid three times as much and didn’t like them nearly as much as this one. As has been previously mentioned, there is something rather old-fashoned and genteel about this place. It is not your cookie cutter type hotel</p>
<p>yes, thank you, ebeeeee. Those reviews are what drove me into the arms of the Duncan since my usual hotel was booked due to something or other about a football match between Yale and somewhere called Princetone. I personally have never seen what you call the football but it certainly cause rooms to become occupied and nearly jeopardize the seeing of Urinetown the Musical.</p>
<p>ah…the entertainment value is raising rents around here Rob: there goes the neighborhood (gentrification?).</p>
<p>At least it wasn’t the weekend of the Yale/Havaad game…that is a total zoo.</p>
