Good location close to the subway. Room size was modest but worked well. Some features could use some TLC in the room itself. On a busy street so a little loud. Overall, good spot for the price!

Great location, lots of options for food/shopping, and easy access to the subway. The only thing to keep in mind is it can be quiet loud/noisy on the weekend (after hours) as there is a bustling nightlife.

Alright stay for the price and location
The walls are very thin and you are at risk of being booked in a room attached to the lobby. Within the coffee machine was a used filter from a previous guest. No shampoo or conditioner available just a 3 in one.

LOVED IT HERE! It was the perfect for our 4 day adventure. Close to transportation, great neighborhood to walk around. Block away from Katz Deli (if that’s on your NYC checklist). Walk away from places like Washington Square Park, Chinatown, Freeman’s Alley and many more. Beautiful Grafitti murals cover the walls on the hotel building. Amazing Rooftop patio that offers beautiful views of the NY skyline. Will return everytime I come back to NYC.

Great location if you’re visiting the lower east side, check in and check out is air bnb style, they email you a room code. If you’re driving get there extra early, the recommended lot has limited overnight parking and all the area lots fill fast.

The hotel was in a perfect location. The subway was right across the street which made it easy to get around. The rooms were clean and hotel was quiet. The rooftop had such a pretty view. Will be coming back!

The hotel has a beautiful rooftop. It’s the most fully automated check-in hotel I’ve experienced—you’re required to register online before arrival to receive your entry code and stay details. While they do have front desk staff, they don’t seem to handle check-ins directly. If you arrive late without registering online, you may run into some issues since the front desk isn’t staffed 24/7. The rooms are small but come with a fridge and microwave, facing a view of the East Village. The TV isn’t able to stream, so it’s more of a classic “movie night” experience with limited options. However, the real highlight is the rooftop, where you can get a distant view of the Empire State Building. The flooring is made of old wooden planks—somewhat decayed, creaky underfoot, and adding a unique charm. That said, be cautious with kids; my child was playing with a toy car on the floor and accidentally got scratched by an exposed nail from the old wood, leaving a mark that lasted about a week. The first floor has 24-hour K-cup coffee available, and the hotel is close to iconic spots like Katz’s Deli and Russ & Daughters. But what I enjoyed the most was the rooftop—it adds a lot of value to the overall experience, making this a very cost-effective hotel choice.

This was a nightmare experience from check in to check out. I will never return. The receptionist was completely unhelpful and honestly we would have been way better off at a YMCA. The hotel was dirty, poorly lit, full of people screaming all through the night either at each other or on the phone. It felt dangerous because of their key pad system and I couldn’t believe that this hotel is able to stay open. I caution everyone not to stay here.
