Often overlooked by tour guides and even locals, the 11-room Water Street Inn offers an array of tempting amenities, like a hot tub, free breakfast, and hors d'oeuvres at the delicious neighboring restaurant, Vanessie. For 20 years low-key visitors who enjoy independence, ornate rooms, and a quick walk downtown have stayed at the Water Street Inn. The Inn frequently offers special discounts, so call ahead and see if you can work something out -- it's definitely one of the most underrated spots in town, less glamorous than some of the plaza's big-name hotels, but twice as sweet.
