East Village Hotel
Great location! The room was a little small and a bit run down (furniture falling apart, heater loud and rattling, drafty). But the staff was very nice and if you’re ok with things that way (and we were) it’s a very good spot.

One Dutch Hotel
The room was absolutely wonderful. Huge room with tons of space for the price. Staff was equally exceptional. Our arrival was delayed due to weather a d the staff called several times to check on us. One Dutch Hotel is amazing and we will definitely stay there again.
