I enjoyed the location of it, but not how there was work going on around it, making it feel unsafe.

the hotel staff's customer service was awesome. Everyone was friendly and they brought our request in less than 5 min. the hotel was very clean. didn't see any bugs. i see the staff cleaning every day. As far as the room goes. I was very tight and small for 4 people but cozy enough for 2 individuals. Would I recommend this hotel to anyone? Yes, I definitely will but if you are looking for a bigger room then I wouldn't. We enjoyed our stay. there was always somebody at the front desk and they were all friendly. i would give this hotel 4 out of 5 star. the hotel is conveniently close to little Italy and china town. plenty of shops and dining in the area. I would stay here again when we come back to New York

I’ve said this in other reviews, but there’s no reason to pay $500 per night in Manhattan. I’m not there for the hotel; I’m there for Manhattan. Having said that, this place gave us everything we wanted for the price: a comfortable bed, a hot shower, a clean room, and fantastic access to the rest of the city. The staff was delightful. The space was quirky and lovely. It might be a little tight for a family with kids, but for a couple traveling the single queen room was perfect. It’s truly an exemplar of what a traveler’s hotel in the city can be. Make sure to visit the Landmark Coffee and Pancake Diner across the street. The owner was a fresh dose of maternal loving we needed before traveling again. The area is imminently walkable with Chinatown, NoHo, SoHo, and Tribeca all within reach. Washington Square isn’t far. There are multiple train stops around for heading up to the park or into BK. It’s a choice stay. Remember, always be nice to staff!

We usually stay at Columbia U's guest housing but changed our travel plans and couldn't get a res, so I got on line (for a historic first and I am 80) and found this terrific small hotel in south Soho where everything (staff, location, design,etc.) was perfect. One proviso, if you ask the desk to reserve you a service to get you to Penn Station early, make sure you get a rate! Ours was $50 for a less than ten minute ride at six a.m. but our night had been so pleasant we didn't really mind and the driver, from Equador, was adorable. But you may not be retired with savings so CHECK FIRST!

Dear Valued Guest,We wanted to follow up on your recent experience at our hotel. We noticed that you arrived on December 31, 2023, even though your reservation was for January 1, 2024. During your check-in process, our team explained that your reservation was for 01/01/204, not 12/31/2023 and that you could check in after 3:00 pm on January 1, 2024. We apologize for any confusion caused by this discrepancy. It would have been impossible to make a reservation for December 31, 2023, as our hotel was fully booked one week before that date. We even contacted Expedia to confirm the reservation date, and they confirmed that it was for January 1, 2024.
