Know that they are 100% serious about no changes. We were unable to take our trip because my husband’s knee blew out the day before our trip. I called the hotel and they absolutely refused to let us reschedule for a later date. They first made us call Hotels.com to call the property, so I also had to spend the time on that. My bad because I should have gotten insurance, but I was really disappointed they wouldn’t let us reschedule even with a doctor’s note.

I don’t even know where to begin - Wow. The Blue Moon is unlike anything else in New York. Staying here feels like stepping back into the city’s history, immersed in its essence and character in a way few places can offer. The building itself is a living story, thoughtfully preserved and lovingly restored. Every detail - from the architecture to the atmosphere - speaks of another era, yet it is seamlessly balanced with modern comfort. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience, a rare glimpse into the soul of Old New York. And just as important, the staff embody that same spirit: gracious, knowledgeable, and genuinely proud to share the hotel’s heritage. Their warmth makes you feel like a guest of honor in a place that celebrates the city’s past while welcoming you into its present. I encourage you look this place up on Instagram! You will know what I mean... This place is amazing; highly recommend.

Interesting history but we paid for the suite and there is a club right outside that played loud music until 3 am. There was only one person working at the hotel and when we got there a little early we already had a text that the room was ready and code to enter, but were told we had to pay $75 more if we wanted to go to the room early. If the one staff member left the front desk there was nobody else around to help and no security at all. Already mentioned all of this when asked to leave a review and was told that they don't have a sound meter to document the noise of the club. There is no way that would not be obvious.

Historic hotel with modern amenities

Beautiful historic building with upgraded amenities and a lovely atmosphere. Elevator is a bit old, but otherwise this was a perfect stay in a very convenient location and I will definitely be back! The room along the back of the building facing the alleys was very quiet despite it being a loud area.

The best New York hotel

This is the second time we stayed at the historic blue Hotel! I grew up four blocks from the hotel so this is a coming home experience. The hotel is awesome. It’s the only place to stay in New York!

love the blue moon

LOVED how every single person we spoke with was totally committed to our comfort. There were a couple of technical issues (the fridge was leaking) and they fixed it immediately. They checked on but were not overbearing. They were incredibly friendly but not overbearing. The room was lovely and I would 100% stay there again.

Title: Disappointing Stay at Blue Moon Hotel - NYC. Quick runaway don’t stay here. "We were incredibly excited to stay at the Blue Moon Hotel on Orchard Street for my birthday weekend, having admired its history and location for years. However, our experience was severely disappointing. We initially booked through a third party but had to contact the hotel directly to upgrade to a junior suite with a king bed and a twin bed for our daughter. The hotel quoted us an extra $XXXper night. Upon arrival, we discovered that the "twin bed" was actually a chair that was supposed to convert into a bed. Not only was it not set up, but there was no bedding provided. As our daughter ended up not staying with us, we requested to be moved back to the original room we booked. The weekend staff was unhelpful and referred us to the manager, who was unavailable until Sunday at 11 am. When we finally spoke with the manager, they were incredibly rude and refused to refund the $60 upgrade fee or offer any compromise. Beyond this, the accommodations themselves were underwhelming. We were constantly disturbed by the sound of doves cooing outside the window, and the noise from the street traffic was significant. Moreover, it took an excruciatingly long time to heat the water for a shower. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend staying at the Blue Moon Hotel. The lack of customer service, coupled with the subpar accommodations, made our stay significantly less enjoyable than we had anticipated."
