Romantic accommodation in Lower East Side

The hotel was pretty good in general. Here's the good. Our room on the 18th floor was clean and quiet. We didn't here any other guests, although I can't say for sure if there were guests in any adjacent rooms. We had minimal interaction with the staff but what staff we did interact with were helpful and polite. We did not get breakfast so we can offer no feedback on the food. Now the not so good. The beds were rock hard and uncomfortable. I like a softer bed so this is usually the case for me but my wife likes a harder bed and she complained about the beds being too hard. Also, there was basically no room for items in the bathroom. There were 4 people in our room but no place for 4 people to leave their basic toiletries and no suitable place neither in the bathroom nor the room to hang 4 towels. There was some kind of rack inside the shower but I'm not sure if who ever thought it was a good idea to put it there is aware of how showers work. There was plenty of open wall space in the bathroom for towel hooks but only a single hook on the backside of the bathroom door that already had the hair dryer hanging on it. There was no shelf space to put the hair dryer on so it had to keep taking up some space on the only available hook. When there are only 2 people in the room this issue is not such a big deal but with 4 it is a real hassle.

Came to NY for my husband’s birthday. Arlo Midtown was perfect. Great location, excellent staff, amazing atmosphere!! Parking was literally available steps away in the garage right across the street!! We have definitely found our go to hotel for future visits!!

Was perfect location

Great stay

Room is a bit small, no storage for garments but the room and bathroom is clean. I wish a bit more space and allow microwave to use in the amenity common areas.

The hotel has large rooms for NYC. They are clean and everything works well. It is an easy walk to many of New York's best attractions, including Bryant Park, Time Square and the Empire State building. The lobby market and bar are both good, with friendly staff.
