Great Location/Pool
Very cool hotel with great pool. The suites adjoining the pool are terrific. Only downside is the noise at night, even in the rooms and the fact that there are tons of drunk and messy people in the hotel at night.

Will stay here again...great time, wonderful location
Rooms are a little small, and didn't like having to use the room card key to also use the elevator....those cards are tempermental. Otherwise, loved everything else, for sure will stay there again. The most wonderful view of the city skyline from the roof top bar!

Great hotel, but also loud party place too
Location was perfect right in between Chelsea & Meat Packing District. Room was great with (Gold Level) view of skyline, sink was more form over function and odd. Staff was nice and helpful though I could sense a few questions of the concierge made him not enjoy my presence. On the 9th floor could hear music late in the night probably from the club next door. Marble Lane was awesome!

Dissatisfied DREAM Guest
Dream into Nightmare!!!
Although the accommodations at the Dream Hotel was small, it was adequate and in a great location. However, a stained towel was a turn-off. It's very trendy and has a vibrant atmosphere in the evening. Staying at a hotel is not only about the amenities, but also about the experience. While the day began beautifully like a "Dream", the night ended on a sour note, like a "Nightmare"! The huge downside was that Hotel Guests are not treated appropriately by the "Doorman" (Alex) for access to the Penthouse lounge area. The requirements for access to the Penthouse Lounge are not clearly communicated nor applied fairly among guests. It's purely based on whether the "Doorman" feels like letting you in who by the way was very disrespectful and also made threats to hotel guests. Not a great way to end the evening! Although a complaint was lodged at the hotel that evening and the following morning, no credible recourse or action was taken. Hence, it fell on deaf ears. While the Penthouse Lounge is managed separately from the Dream Hotel, executives of the hotel should know how their guests are being treated by employees of their partner, Penthouse Lounge. Such behavior can only be bad for business. For my next stay in NYC in the same area, I plan to try the Gansevoort Hotel which is right around the corner from the Dream Hotel. Again, it's all about the experience!!!

Cool Hotel...Not Functional
The hotel itself is trendy and the staff was friendly, but we were VERY disappointed with the room overall! The room is extremely small, there were no drawers in either the room or bathroom to put our stuff away and the closet was VERY tiny! The sink looks cool, but as a female it was extremely frustrating to get ready because there's no space to put things down. The shower/tub is poorly designed...even though we pulled the curtain closed, when you get out of the shower there was a HUGE puddle of water on the floor! The height of the toilet is kind of strange...when you sit down your feet dangle because it's so tall. We will visit NYC again, but we wont be staying at the Dream!

Design Hotel... unfortunately nothing beyond
Staff was very unfriendly (with exception of the concierge who was very nice). They let us wait for half an hour in the bar (even though it was mostly empty). When I went up to them to complain and get back my hotel card, it took them another 10 minutes and no-one appologized. The hotel itself is fancy and cool. So are the rooms. Unfortunately there was only space for about one fourth of our clothes in the closet (and we did not have much with us...). I was prepared to report our experience at the check-out. Unfortunately - and for the first time in a hotel - I had not been asked how our stay at the hotel was.....
