The Location was amazing. I expected the room to be small and it was small. When we arrived we had a big trash bag of laundry outside our door and it stayed there the whole time. I was not surprised because we didn't see anybody who worked there until the next morning. Our room was half cleaned thank god clean sheets, but the floor was sticky and dirty plus a random dirty sock was under the bed. The only mirror was in the small bathroom no full mirror. We had a clean fridge coffee pot coffee but no coffee cups or sugar or creamer. When we were pleasantly surprised that when we got back at 3:30 am snacks had been left out at the front desk.

Good price and location but bed not so comfy

The only thing that did not meet my expectations was the bed. It was not soft or springy in any way. Kind of like lying on slightly padded cardboard. Other than that contactless check in was great, room was clean, had everything I needed. Close to subway, restaurants, etc.

I’ve stayed here many times and the rooms are small but clean and comfortable. The location is great, so convenient to the East Village, LES, Chinatown, even SoHo and Little Italy if you like to walk. Or the F train is on the corner. Not fancy but has everything you need. Self check-in is easy.

This is a contactless check-in hotel so there really is no service. That includes maid service, which is fine by me. I believe there was a bit of false advertisement, and hotels.com is partly responsible. The room pictures were NOTHING like our room. Really was JUST a bed. No desk, useable closet, or chair. You could barely walk without hitting your head on the tv or stubbing your toe on the bed. Nowhere to put luggage except under the bed, which was terribly dusty. We should have had a lower rate than what was advertised. Bathroom is VERY small, not for big people. ONLY good thing is the location, which is excellent.

Limited service - auto check in! It was within walking distance to the event I was at - so I booked it. Not much else to say. For the price my best option.

Stayed here for a quick overnight in SoHo. I just needed a place to sleep and wanted a private bathroom. The place was clean, the bed was comfortable enough. I had to get the bunk room as that was all that was available. The room was pretty small but that was fine for my purpose. It was also pretty quiet all night which was nice!

Very easy check in and front desk was able to hold my luggage until the room was ready, which was nice. Room was clean, pretty spacious for NY and a nice clean bathroom. It had a nice vibe and I could walk everywhere around Lower East Side, SoHo and Greenwich.

Great little hotel. Nice, clean and queen bed room is decent size. Comfortable beds and pillows. BUT 4 stars because they have a "virtual" check in process AND they can only hold your bags from 8AM-3PM. This was not mentioned anywhere on Expedia or their website. It was a total surprise after we paid a non-refundable rate through Expedia. Things worked out, with minimum stress, but I recommend having this information right front and center.
