Very good

Disliked: The interiors felt tired. The bed wasn?t comfortable. The couch was lumpy. The lighting in the room was horrible. The vibe of the hotel was tacky - it felt like they were catering to ?Essex? tourists from the U.K. There was an offensive video of two scantily clad black women cavourting in various locations in the hotel playing in a loop in the elevator. It felt like the subliminal message was ?stay with us, you will get a biracial twosome?. Super super tacky.

My Stay was pretty good

Liked: I love the fact that Samara at the front desk was so helpful with the check-in process. She helped me choose the right room because it was for a special occasion. She was super friendly and she even remembered when I called a couple days before arriving!

Passable

Liked: Location.
Disliked: We had super noisy room on the 8th floor. There is a night club at the same building and no soundproofing at all!!! It seemed that the dj was in our room. So it was impossible to fall asleep before 3 am. The room was also not very comfortable and was very cold. Breakfast was so-so.

You're in one of the...

Liked: The hotel itself was well appointed and well situated, with a couple of classic Lower East Side delis (Katz's and Russ and Daughters) just steps from the front door. We walked everywhere and, being New York, there was no shortage of terrific restaurants or shops. The staff, especially the Manager, was friendly and responsive.
Disliked: The fee we saw on booking.com did not mention that, when we arrived at the hotel, there would be a resort fee added on of something like $30 extra per day! That was on top of the various taxes. Thankfully the manager was very accommodating, and adjusted the rate to a mutually agreeable charge. But it did take us by surprise. There's free coffee and tea in the lobby every morning, but a coffee maker in the room would be a welcome addition.
