Room was pleasantly surprising for the price. Great location if that’s your part of town. Extremely clean if a bit worn around the edges.
I didn’t experience the noise others mention but that may be because my room was SURPRISE! on the FOURTH FLOOR. I name myself fr not reading it’s a walk up and super glad I was only staying a night without luggage. I can’t imagine having to lug bags up the stairs or actually trying to cook in the room but I’ll put the property on my cheap, quick overnight list.

The street tends to be pretty noisy, but that's what earplugs are for, and the hotel provides them.

Tricky to find as address on 1st but entry is well around the corner on 9th after a cafe. But then codes all worked fine and entry was easy. Bedroom was clean. Shower room could be better.

Welcome email said housekeeping was between 9am-4pm but I left the room at 12 and no housekeeping was done.

Most alarmingly I got an email on the first night telling me to check out the following morning when I had booked to stay for two days. I had to get Hotel.com to check arrangements - there was no response from the hotel. But all ok in the end. No staff policy works just fine except when their own communications cause problems like this

The location was simply amazing and it was handy to have the kitchenette. But the floor was dirty and soap was missing. I called to ask for both to be fixed. Eventually we got soap, but staff didn’t help with the floor as reception said they would. Beds were comfy, but pillows were like bricks. It could have been an amazing stay if the room was given a tad more love and upkeep.

It was good to find a well located hotel during a busy & expensive time of year. One guest would mark it negatively, reporting their side of the bed badly broken, tilting them to the floor all night, and with very little water pressure in the shower. The other guest, a former NYer, was happier with the hotel.

This hotel was in an excellent location and had very easy check in information despite having no staff/front desk IRL. I will say we found the room could have been a lot cleaner. The bathroom had mold on the caulking and plastic edges of the shower, the grout paint in the bathroom was crumbling off on our feet. The floor of the room felt grimy/sticky and badly needed to be mopped. The room has stains on the wall above the bed and generally needed a big deep clean. We did appreciate the bed linens were spotless, they left us earplugs, and the room was very comfortable in terms of temperature.

This was a gem of a find for the price paid for the room. Similar rooms were going for three times more. The room was clean, in a GREAT location, had a kitchen to make breakfast at, and most of all the property managers were helpful and very accommodating to get me into the room quickly and with no hassle, on a booking day almost everything in the city was sold out.

I’d you want a room that will make you want to catch the late train this is it. I did just that didn’t spend more than 30 minutes in the room.

First off I had my girlfriend cancel out of the trip because AFTER booking we realized that there was no elevator. Asking for a room on the first floor required an additional charge, whatever she has a broken ankle. I reach out to the property at least 2 weeks ahead of time about requesting a better room. ZERO RESPONSE. So basically I ended up buying two tickets to a show for just me.

Seconds don’t you dare let your phone battery die because if it does and you didn’t tattoo the front door code and room code on to your body you are screwed. At the rate the hotel management responds to requests (so far never). You will be sleeping on the streets, which is a sketchy area.

Room is tiny, AC unit which was sort of working made enough noise to keep a drunk person awake. The TV was useless unless you brought your own streaming account and it shut off by itself anyways. The bathroom toilet lids don’t stay up so if you are a male using the bathroom good luck, you will need two hands.

Another thing I had a hard time getting out of the building because some contractor was working next door and blocking the door with a ladder.

Basically there is no one there to help you and no one responds when you reach out. It’s a hotel run by ghosts or maybe an AI. Stay away from here.

The room itself was nice especially for the price. Would be great for someone staying a few days who wanted to eat leftovers as there is a little equipped kitchenette. Two things though: 1) there was barely any toilet paper on the roll in my room and I saw no extras. Since this hotel doesn’t have lobby staff I didn’t know how to get extra tp. Thankfully there were tissues. 2) the street door to the lobby needs to be replaced- it doesn’t lock unless you really shut it hard and guests don’t do that. I was able to walk in without having to enter a code every time because someone hadn’t shut it properly. As a result I felt somewhat unsafe. If the lobby door is changed I’d stay here again. I wouldn’t stay again without an upgraded lobby door.

Shame on Expedia for featuring such a misleading listing. This is a 4-story walkup tenement rooming house, not a hotel. Expedia does not disclose the fact that there is no elevator, no staff on the premises and it’s exceptionally confusing to enter the property. The address says 1st Avenue; the door is heavily graffitied and locked and you must go around the corner to a different address and there is no way to know that except for a tiny sign obscured by the graffiti. Try checking in late and night and you are screwed.
The room itself was very small but passable and clean—but three things were broken (which they did fix the next day). It is also very noisly, but that is to be expected given the location. The staffers that did answer the phone, however, were great because I suspect they are used to dealing with confused, terrified guests who can’t find the door, want things fixed and fear for their safety.

Cons: Hotel allows pets. Room had cat/dog hair all over the floor and on an upholstered chair. Ended up with hair on my clothes. Immediately had problems with allergies. Hotel in a very active and loud neighborhood. The windows do not stop the sound. The neighborhood was noisy until about 4 am (Fri, Sat). The hotel does provide ear plugs which are necessary.

Pos: location is good if you want to be in the East village. Lots of bars and restaurants close by. Room was small but had everything I needed. Kitchenette along with cooking tools, microwave, silverware, etc very nice. Bed was comfortable and air conditioning was adequate.

This hotel is unstaffed - you will be send codes to access the room and front door upon check in. Given that there is no support if you need anything.
The location is great, but it is loud. I stayed in two rooms - the ones that face 1st Ave an incredibly loud. The hotel provides ear plugs, but if you are a light sleeper it will be almost impossible to sleep. The rooms facing 9th are significantly quieter.
Overall the rooms are ok - the beds are comfortable and have nice light given the windows. The sink in my bathroom did not drain and the shower leaked all over the floor, which was unideal. The fridge was also rattling all night, so much that I had to unplug it.
The ideal of the hotel is nice, and the location is great but the rooms needs a little bit of care and there needs to be a clear process if you need support given there are no staff on site.

Great location with lots of restaurants, bars, and shops around. The walls, windows, and doors do not block out a lot of sound, but that is expected for NYC. You could easily hear the street and other guests, bring earplugs (they supplied some also). The towels were very low quality and each person only gets one per night, so plan for that. There is a strange smell in the entry way but the room smelled fine. The bed was comfy overall. I'd stay here again since it's close to our friends house for a great price.

I wasn’t sure if I would like this hotel or not. In the end, I thought it was okay.
I knew there was no front desk person, and I honestly didn’t know if it would matter to me. In the end I think I did miss it.
I had also seen in reviews that there is street noise, which was definitely true for my room (#1, on the 9th St side). I visited during a cold snap, so no one was out when I arrived late at night on Weds, and so there was no noise. I slept like a baby! Thursday there were a few people out partying, but the noise died down around 10-11pm and I slept fine. Friday night there was a ton of honking, yelling, loud cars that earplugs were no match for, and I didn’t sleep well. I thought the mattress was really comfortable, though my bed was quite noisy from squeaky springs.
The room was nice enough and generally clean, though there were signs that it was not brand new: scuffs on the wall, some unfinished trim around the door, etc.
Best parts of staying here were the location, the kitchen, and the gorgeous exposed brick in my room. It’s probably worth the extra money to request a room on the non-street side of the building, so I would recommend factoring that extra cost into your budget.
