Weekend getaway flying solo

The location of this place is perfect for me, as I usually hang out in Lower Manhattan, which is also where my bus dropped me, and where I needed to be. The room was very cute and clean, nice fixtures and shower/bathroom. Plenty of outlets to charge my tablet and phone, etc. Downsides: When I checked into my room, it was 83 degrees Fahrenheit - during a heat wave. I tried adjusting the air conditioning, but it seemed locked. It wasn't adjustable below a certain temp, like 76 or something. That would have been an improvement by several degrees. Ultimately, they sent up a technician who could not get it to respond properly either. They promptly moved me to another room, which was arctic comparatively. That room was in the front of the building, however. Other reviews I had read online suggested rooms in the back were less noisy. But it being summer, there was construction going on right outside my newly issued frosty room. One staff member warned me about the construction, saying it started about 6:30AM - even on a Saturday morning. The woman at the front desk corrected the other guy, saying there was not construction on weekends. There was. So basically my choices seemed to be hot as H-E-double hockey sticks and quieter, or cold and noisy. I went with the cool one, hoping I could sleep. Honestly, it wouldn't have been that bad had I worn ear plugs and not already had trouble sleeping on my own. They did let me check out at 1PM for no extra charge, which was awesome! All in all, I would stay here again because it's clean and cute, and the location rocks. But I know what to expect now, esp. in the summer when repairs are unavoidable all over any town or city.

More Like In The Street Than On The Street

You'll will hear jackhammers at 7am and subways rumbling under this hotel all day long in this shoebox. For the same outrageous price, you can stay at a much quieter M*ondrian around the block. Wish I did.

Noisy & Overpriced

When I checked in, the staff neglected to say that a jack hammer from a road construction crew would be waking everyone up at 7am. When I called the desk that morning to move to a quieter, back room, there was nothing they could do - not even reduce my room rate which at $500/night I expect a little more than indifference. For the same rate, you can stay in SoHo luxury around the block at the M-o-n-d-r-i-a-n - this travel review does not allow brand names so had to hyphenate.

Nice spot in Soho

This hotel was a really good deal for its location. The area around it seemed safe, and it is within easy walking distance of all the shopping and restaurants Soho has to offer.

Just right

This is a small well modernised hotel in an interesting part of Manhattan. The staff were very helpful and pleasant, the room was very clean, typically New York small but the bathroon was well designed to fit the space. No bar or lounge but next door is Parigot, a bistro style French eatery with a small bar and a good attitude.

convenient location, priced a little too high

The room is small and expensive, but the location is convenient. For wifi, the hotel services book in the room is out-dated, you need to call the front desk... could use an update.

LOCATION, LOCATION

It was my birthday and i had to go to 2 events in that area therefore i decided to rent a hotel. I stayed there for one night, or 6 hrs all together; i checked in around 11pm left at 12:30 got back to the room at about 430am and had to check out by 12 pm, even though i checked in late. I called around 9am to see if we could have stayed a little longer to get my moneys worth and the receptionist abruptly said "NO, you Have to check out at 12!" I though she could have been a little more receptive to my needs or come up with an alternate solution. I work in the Customer Service field, that's what i would've done...If it weren't for her, i would have given this hotel 5 stars. But all in all, the location was perfect for what i had to do and the bed was very comfy. The room was really small but cozy/romantic. One thing that annoyed me was the fact that there wasn't a toilet cover!! My makeup almost fell in there twice! lol.

Comfy, friendly & good value

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and gave us some helpful travel tips. The room was clean, comfortable and actually a little bigger than I expected. The bathroom had a great shower and was also of a good size. This place isn't filled with mod cons but is more than adequate for a city break and much better value than a lot of alternatives I looked into. We would definitely go back.

L'Ecole, the restaurant of the French Culinary Institute, on the corner of Grand St & Broadway. Excellent food and wine for a very reasonable (By NY standards)price.
