The room was very clean and the staff was super helpful and very nice. The walls are pretty thin so you and others on your floor have to be considerate with the noise level but other than that it was an amazing short stay!

Worst property in Manhattan, period. Looks like something from Backrooms but dirtier. You walk down in to basement level where your room is and think "well there's a pretty good chance I get murdered tonight." No ice (I was informed it was available at their sister priority several blocks away, very helpful). The AC is high up on the wall and there's no thermostat or remote control, so have fun trying to adjust it. TV in the room didn't function so I call and the front desk guy (there's only one guy) comes down, takes one look and tells me to pack up my things. Once back at the desk he informs me the only room he has with a functioning TV is a queen suite and I need to pay a significant up charge fee (my room has been prepaid). Otherwise I should leave. We had words, he refused to give me his name and I'm still waiting on Travelocity/Expedia to get me a refund. Total nightmare, AVOID!!!

The accessible room was "Garden Apartment Style" -- i.e. in the basement --but this was a small, clean, quiet well-kept hotel in a perfect location for my needs. Nothing fancy but highly recommended for anyone who wants to be located in the West Village, SoHo, Lower East Side.

The hotel is fine if you're planning on being out all day and just sleeping there. The handle to turn on our shower was broken and the mattress slid every time you sat on the bed. Other things like the handles to the closet were broken but that didn't really impact our stay - just made it feel a bit more janky. I will say that we appreciated the strong AC in the room especially during the heat wave. The room got the job done but I probably wouldn't stay here again.

The location is great. It’s close and walkable to many places like Soho, whole foods, many restaurants, etc. The AC worked great. The only thing is two out of the three plugs in our room barely worked. The TV was there but couldn’t turn on. Just FYI, you will have to pay around $16/night for amenity fees tht u can’t deny. If u care about saving money and having access to everywhere, it’s okay but it’s def not luxury.

Best location in NY -- the heart of downtown. The room was beautiful, the water was warm, even hot if needed. Our room was on the 5th floor. AC worked great. Some noise on Saturday night at 2 am and 4 am -- when the bars close, it sounded like the police were on hand to help the college students keep control of themselves. The people who staffed the front desk were not open to questions, however the breakfast staff and the room attendants were helpful. Breakfast was just fine -- hot coffee, hot chocolate.
