Great location! Close to restaurants and bars. Canal St is down the street! Staff very helpful and accommodating. The hotel is basic perfect to sleep and shower so you are on the move. Lobby has a lounge area with water and coffee. Bar is closed. Recommend if you are not looking for anything fancy. It gets the job done!

Clearly they are slowly renovating. Clean and comfortable, so good value for the money. For a few nights stay when you need clean sheets, shower and a comfortable bed that fits perfectly.

Room would surely benefit from a better renovation. Still very old furniture and fixtures.

Location is fantastic. Walking distance to beat SoHo shops and restaurants and 3 min from subway.

Worth the money if you are just looking for a bed and a shower.

Don't be fooled by the website which makes this look like a chic, hip hotel in SoHo. It's not. It's currently under construction. The carpets are dirty and the linens and towels are very cheap. The doors on all rooms are scuffed up. There was a big bug crawling across my bed as I was sitting in it. Mind you, it's summer in NYC so I think/hope it was an isolated incident. This property has potential due to its location. I hope they do a proper renovation to match the website.

On a positive note, the staff were kind, welcoming and helpful. The location, as well, was great and very close to the subway.

However, we were delayed checking into our room because of a hotel system issue, and therefore had to wait around in the lobby / common area for several hours without any time frame given for when we would be able to check in. Once in the room, it was disappointing. While the view was good, here are some of the issues: the room smelled like old fish, the curtains were a bit broken, the bed slanted like it was slightly broken, the furniture was very worn and not well-kept, the sink in the bathroom moved when you touched it and felt like it was barely staying on the wall, the water pressure in the shower was very low, and there was no fridge in the room. Also the building itself was character-less and felt like an office building that had recently been converted and was not quite ready to open. It is not a hotel that I would return to on my next trip to NYC.

All around just ok. Prices this week were very high so I couldn’t book the hotel I wanted but this was close to where I was working and within budget. I read the reviews and knew what to expect. And I got it. The rez system was being updated when I arrived at 5:00pm and I waited for 45 minutes with other annoyed guests. The room smelled of mildew and the ac unit was loud. The coffee maker in the room worked but made a sad cup of brown water. Expected but still disappointing. On the plus side, the room was larger than most Manhattan hotel rooms. Happy it was only two nights

Terrible experience. The room was disgsuting and had staples holding the walls together in the bathroom, tons of dust in corners and broken furniture. I was charged $40 a day for amenities. Those amenities include a “gym” (a treadmill, a bike, and a dumbbell rack that is missing 40% of the dumbbells and the dumbbells that ARE there have broken handles and grips). They have a rooftop that is FINE. So essentially we paid $120 for water bottles which seems outrageous. Staff would not accommodate for these issues. AC was good though. This place has gone down hill when the Canadian firm purchased it.

This hotel was fine, excellent location. But it definitely needs a refresh. Looks like it really hasn’t been updated in 10 or 15 years. They could use new carpets for example and other touchups that would make it look a lot nicer. Some of the fixtures and furniture are a little dated too.

Do not stay here! Everything about how they market this hotel is a lie. Many of the pictures online are stock photos, and there is zero “elegance” about it. Quite the opposite! The interior is badly run down and surfaces are corroded. It markets a lounge that is nonexistent. My bathroom had severe mold in several places, holes in the walls and ceiling and peeling wallpaper. The water in the shower had a brown tint. It is also located on the street to the tunnel so it is loud at all hours and deadlock traffic in front of the hotel so you have to walk a few blocks for a cab.

The hotel was very clean and the staff were helpful. But, there was no ice bucket or refrigerator or cups. The air conditioner was very loud. The clothing storage area and the carpet showed signs of age. Unfortunately the bar was being used for storage and there was no area to purchase snacks. The lobby was very small. I did like that there was free water available. And the hotel was in walking distance of many places that I visited in SoHo. Also, the beds were very comfortable.

The picture on the website and Expedia make the property look much newer and nicer than it was in reality. Everything felt old and dirty.

Misleading pricing due to a mandatory “resort fee” that was only disclosed after booking, adding significant extra cost and making the stay far more expensive than expected.

Truly a bone chilling experience. I wouldn’t wish this establishment on my worst enemy. When we arrived, our initial room was soaking wet all over the floors- which we were told was because they “wash the floors”…right. There were hairs all over the washroom.

When they moved our rooms, they did upgrade which was appreciated. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was once again, harrowingly putrid. Grime in every corner and a bathroom so filthy and poorly maintained i can’t even describe.
Couldn’t recommend this less. Our expectations were high as the price is reasonable but this was…. Something else.

The hotel was older than we expected, it was maintained well, but did have some bumps and bruises still noticeable. The shower design was a little poor with water splashing over a good portion of the bathroom floor, but at least not running out into the room. The air conditioning did struggle during the day, but did catch up at night. Definitely not reading the correct temperature because 66 was not cold and the fan was a little loud. Hey, exhausted by the end of the day of walking and site seeing, so very tired and still slept. View was not the best on the 9th floor, so get higher if you can. Walkable and relatively safe location, 9 to 12 minutes to the nearest subway stations. One bad thing, the entrance to the Holland tunnel is nearby and if it's backed up, there is a lot of honking cars nearby.

Our room was clean, comfortable and the location was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the amenities were great. The hotel is aging, so the wallpaper is not all intact, and the carpet could use a refresh, but what could feel dirty at other hotels still felt well cared for and clean. The bed was very comfortable, and we had maid service every day. We loved the free water at the front desk: I initially thought we wouldn’t use it, but it was a lifeline when arriving back to the hotel after a full day of exploring. The fitness room is bright and clean, the lounge area is absolutely charming; my daughter opted for hot chocolate at midnight and a staff member checked to make sure the water was hot enough (it was). I was also grateful for the solid bathroom walls—too many hotels have gone with the frosted glass partition styles recently. Coffee maker in the room, ice bucket with ice machine on the next floor, plenty of armoire/night table/desk space. The hotel is small enough that we never had to wait for an elevator or be in a crowded one. The rooftop lounge is a rare treat, too—it’s not a bar and it’s available to all guests, not just top-tier ones. We took a couple of meals up there and enjoyed the view. There’s a great little bodega with a grill on the corner with excellent and reasonably priced food; bagels in the morning at the cute park across the street, and a corned beef on rye on the hotel rooftop in the evening? Perfection.

Situated in Soho near both villages, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Tribeca. This hotel provides excellent service while you explore the city.
