I would rate this hotel a 4.75...... We were upgraded to a higher floor with a view and balcony. Hotel is in a great location if your a foodie! Hotel lacks a snack bar. Not alot of traffic in or out whoch is great. Friendly staff and room had everything one needs although its small. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends.

Beautiful, spacious room. Very comfy bed, lots of pillows. Settee we moved in front of the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the great view. Up on the 12th floor, it was quiet. Great shower, nice products (shampoo, lotion, body wash), adequate storage, minifridge, coffee and tea, coat hooks, desk and chair. All in all a really good stay. Staff were kind and helpful, lobby is comfortable with different places to sit and chat or enjoy an espresso. Location was perfect for our time on the Lower East Side. Recommended!

Wow! This place is a dream. We had a superior king room with city views and it was absolutely stunning. Pics don’t do it justice. The staff was wonderful, perfect location, and I can’t believe how good the rate was. The lobby design is incredible as well. All around well thought out aesthetics and excellent execution. Can’t wait to stay here again.

I want to rate this hotel much higher as the staff was super helpful and friendly, the rooms and the entire hotel were spotlessly clean, and their rates are very reasonable for the great location. However, the pillow were some of the worst I have ever slept on. There is not enough Advil in Manhattan to fix my wife's and my neck from the unmerciful beating they took on those truly awful pillows. If the Merchant upgraded their pillows I would happily stay again and upgrade my review.
