The Spotlight on Redford Hotel

Stylish Simplicity in NYC’s Lower East Side

Modern and unfussy, the Redford Hotel offers a budget-friendly stay in Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side. With clean, comfortable rooms and a laid-back vibe, this hotel puts you right in the heart of one of New York City's most exciting neighborhoods—ideal for music lovers looking to stay close to the action.
Just steps from the Delancey Street subway station, the Redford keeps you well-connected, whether you're heading to a show in Brooklyn or catching a live set downtown.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Redford Hotel sits within easy walking or subway distance of some of NYC’s best live music venues, including Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge. With a 24-hour front desk and the option to request wake-up calls (for those early flights after a late show), it’s built for night owls. While the vibe is energetic outside, the hotel itself offers a quiet, smoke-free environment for a chill wind-down after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading out for a night of music and fun
  • Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list gig
  • Couples making a weekend of it in NYC
  • Fans needing a quieter place to recover post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want to be in the heart of the city

Food and Drink Options

While the Redford Hotel doesn’t have on-site dining, you’re in one of NYC’s best neighborhoods for food. Within just a couple blocks you'll find late-night pizza joints, ramen houses, and cozy cafes. Need to refuel after a show? Brunch spots nearby open late enough to rescue even the sleepiest of concert-goers.

Nightlife Options

The Lower East Side is packed with options: cocktail bars, dive bars, and live music lounges are all just around the corner. Whether you're looking for a post-show hang or want to keep the night going, there’s no shortage of energy. While the hotel itself doesn't host live music, its prime location more than makes up for it.

What People Say

Guests love the Redford Hotel’s central location and easy access to public transport. Many reviews mention the friendly front desk staff and the hotel’s overall cleanliness and simplicity. Travelers also appreciate the free WiFi and in-room amenities like flat-screen TVs and work desks.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be on the smaller side—typical for Manhattan—and some guests noted that the decor is a bit basic. But if you’re here for the music and nightlife, chances are you won’t be spending much time in your room anyway!

The Bottom Line

The Redford Hotel offers affordable comfort in a can't-beat location—perfect for concert-goers looking to stay close to the beat of New York City.

Not pleasant

Liked: Overall decent room but not a good experience
Disliked: Lock didn’t work at the room so had to stay put throughout the stay. Staff tried moving us to another location but we didn’t find it a comparable switch. So decided to stay the night.

Staff made it great but...

Liked: Clean, exceptionally friendly staff. Great location close to subway.
Disliked: Our first room was teeny tiny which would have been challenging for a couple for several nights, but due to broken TV we moved to a 2-bed room which was better, although still small.
