Great location near Chinatown. Easy to find. We used Uber to get places, convenient to public transportation if desired. We faced the Manhattan Bridge Arch, traffic noise wasn’t that bad. We did hear an occasional siren but you’re in the city so that should be expected. Hotel is a little dated but clean and beds comfortable. Would recommend for travelers budget conscious, great value for the money.

The Hotel is located in a Chinatown which is an Area we love. Our Hotel room was so cold. The thermostat wasnt working. Also the bathroom made such a loud noise. The bathroom was also so cold since there was a window inside the bathroom. I wish the hotel had a microwave to heat up food that we brought back. This is a drawback. The price of the room was affordable, but it lacked a few things. We were on the fourth floor and it was loud from outside nouse.Would stay again if in the area. We did feel safe so thats a plus.

Everything was good except there was no heater working and NYC was very cold for the first few days when I was there, in the 40s. For the first day when I was leaving, it went very warm so the last day was fine without heater.

My daughter and I stayed here for her 30th. For the price, it was a pretty decent hotel. I’ve never stayed in Chinatown, but we got the local vibe. This is not anything like Times Square but it was nice and quiet at night. Easy 3 min walk to the subway & 8 min walk to Little Italy. At night, the area itself is not really lit up, I felt safer taking taxis to drop us off after 10pm. Please note I’m not saying it’s not safe. The staff were super friendly and made us feel safe.

We booked this room based on price and the fact that it had a pull out chair sofa for a 5th person. It is a small hotel, right at the foot of Manhattan Bridge. The area is a little grittier than our typical stay, but, met our needs for this trip. We were right next to chinatown and a short walk to Little Italy. We were a couple of blocks from the Orange line and the subway to get us anywhere we needed to go. Safety wise, during the day was fine - people going about their business and lives. At night, we (50 year old woman and 3 young adults) never felt threatened, but, made sure to walk with purpose and not alone. Just be mindful of what is going on around you, which is wise anywhere. The hotel itself was no frills, but clean and the people were nice.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was relatively quiet, clean, and a really great location for our first time in NYC! There’s a variety of food places around (a ton of them within a 10 min walk), easy to get everywhere as there are subway stations very close, and felt pretty safe as well. Easy check in/out too. Definitely an older hotel, so furnishings and that are a bit dated/old/damaged to a degree but nothing that really impacts the overall stay. You still have everything you need and we were really only there to sleep anyways.

The hotel was exceptionally clean, and the majority of the staff provided outstanding service. Unfortunately, our initial check-in experience was impacted by one staff member who was noticeably rude and condescending. Aside from this incident, the remaining staff consistently demonstrated professionalism and made every effort to ensure we felt welcomed throughout our stay! Additionally, we greatly appreciated the beautiful view from our room!

Location excellent, which was the reason why we chose this hotel. Reception - both staff, appearance and state were below expectation. Tea station right by the lift and drinks vending machine gave it a hostel feel. Front desk staff barely acknowledged you when you walked past, we shared a lift with one and he couldn't even manage a good morning greeting. We needed to leave our luggage for the day as we had a late flight and he made it sound like such a big deal! Small bathroom but facilities in the room were generally functional. Overall- expensive for what it offered and the photos were not reflective of the reality

The hotel was cool! It's in a populated area full of restaurants and cool little shops so if people want to just walk around and explore it's perfect spot! Rooms were always clean and the staff was pretty cool. It's good place if you just need somewhere sleep and relax before exploring New York. The only downfall was no microwave and no fridge lol but there snacks and water machines so we managed. Honestly, I would stay here again. Thank you!

The room was clean and pretty quiet, with a nice view of traffic coming down off the Manhattan Bridge, as well as all the colorful people walking below.

Would 10/10recommend as a reasonably priced home base on your next NYC trip, especially if you love the Lower East Side as much as I do.

No where on this site did it say I had to pay $150 deposit. It just said a $35 service fee but when I got there they already started the check in process which took the $187 payment for the room and because that deposit was not in my budget I couldn’t check in. Ended up driving back home and talking to customer service and apparently the room I booked was non refundable which when I booked the room it didn’t say that either. I really need hotels.com to put everything the hotel is going to need on site because now I’m out almost $200.

Edge of Chinatown with a great view

We needed a place to overnight to attend a family event the next day. This hotel was a convenient location and offered a nice room for a reasonable price. We had a corner double which looked out at the Manhattan Bridge Arch so it made for a beautiful view. Also it was surprisingly not very loud in our room, even though it was a busy traffic area.

There were some parts of the room that were a little shabby like a blemish on the wall from damage that was not painted over and the bathroom had peeling paint. However, the beds were comfortable and the rainfall shower head was relaxing. Plenty of coffee, soap and toiletries. Hot water and additional coffee available at the lobby. The staff at the front desk were efficient and helpful. They also allowed us to keep our baggage in the lobby until we returned later in the afternoon after our event.

Would stay here again if we need to be in the Chinatown area. We were actually on a roadtrip East so this was a perfect location that was close to the parking garage, our event venue and a direct route to the Holland Tunnel to continue our trip.
