The staff is always friendly. Love the bartenders at the main bar and at ‘The Roof’ always. Very convenient area, 15 min walk to Soho and 6 min walk to some of my favorite drunk night food stops like Prince St Pizza. I always stay here when I’m visiting the city for events. A short ride to areas like Brooklyn as well, if you need to cross the bridge. The crowd is always a great mix but overall very hip.

Hotel is fine but won’t return!

The staff (when we could find them) were great and very kind. It was hard to track people down as it seems the hotel has attempted to utilize systems in place of staff. The hotel was a GREAT location but had more of a hostel feel vs. a hotel. Particularly at night, the nightclub vibe and presence of people in the lobby who were clearly NOT staying in the hotel was something we weren’t prepared to encounter. We did love the rooftop bar for an early evening drink and the coffee bar downstairs was great. Those were perks. Our room was extremely small and there weren’t many amenities - no lotion, no bathrobes, slippers, etc. Maybe it’s on us for not doing more research but I feel this is more of a hotel for younger/partying travelers vs. young professionals/moms like us trying to have a nice weekend away. I sadly don’t think we’d come back to this hotel however we would return for a rooftop drink!

Fun property and great food. The check in was on a tablet so you didn’t have to talk to anyone (and it was quick) but I actually found it a bit impersonal for the amount of money you pay to stay there. The food was great though and room was cute.

This is a hotel, I assume primarily to accommodate their guests We decided to stay in for the Evening and take advantage of the amenities The hotel has a roof top and a bar lounge. The host was the most rude. Looked at my family up and down and suggested we should go up to our room to change into something that would better suit her for access, really ?! We should have been wearing baggy jeans tank tops sneakers and a cap, where is the class!! by the way she had on cap and looked like a thug! It was extremely humiliating! Who says that!! This young woman had no idea who she was speaking to, I literally paid several thousand dollars to stay at this hotel for a few nights! Never again! I do have to despite of her treatment the hotel manager Patrick was vey nice and said that is not how they treat their guests. Unfortunately the young lady had already caused the damage
