Should be better given the price

Aggressively mediocre hotel - it was pretty run down and whether it was actually dirty or not it looked dirty. The bar is really loud so definitely ask about where it is in relation to your room. The staff was very nice and extremely helpful.

Will def be back!

i have never felt so “at home” and welcomed at a hotel before! the staff was so nice and friendly and everyone was ready to support in any way possible. the hair dryer and iron didn’t work but i find that to be quite common and wasn’t a huge issue.

Too noisy even for Manhattan

The hotel is nice and clean but it is so noisy! I have been travelling to Manhattan multiple times/year for 30+ years. I don't mind the noise of the city - actually it makes me feel at home - but this hotel is ridiculously noisy. People seem to be partying on the adjacent street all night and the soundproofing in the hotel or windows is poor. I will not stay here again.

The hotel needs some "tarting" up around the edges. Fundamentals are good and the staff is excellent. Some rugs in need of repair, door latches are loose, etc.

Hotel Indigo, lower east side No doubt this was a 4.5/5-star boutique when it opened. Now I’d say 3-3.5. I chose this hotel because I was going to the US Open (tennis) in Flushing Meadows and a couple of Broadway shows. Maps said it was about a 16 min cab ride either way. Here’s why: Public spaces The hallway artwork on every floor has been defaced and graffitied, like the back of a bathroom stall door. Immediately devalues what you paid for. The hotel & Purple, the night club The hotel clientele is predominately late thirties to fifties; some parents with late teens. Purple caters to the 20 something crowd. The music is so loud, it booms throughout the hotel. That continues to about 1:30/2 am. Then the volume is reduced slightly to a duller boom, boom, boom. Ownership has created a situation where there’s dissonance between the hotel’s guests and the 20 something year-old club attendees that will continue to impact reviews. Location You’re right around the corner from Katz deli and Russell & Daughters--😋. The 20 somethings are very active in the area after 11pm, at least thurs-sat. Staff Were extremely kind and welcoming. Concierge had no visual indication he was a concierge. I told him I didn’t know the NYC subway system. While enthusiastic and kind, he didn’t help me feel confident that I could navigate by subway. The rooms LOVE the heated bathroom tile floors. Recommend they retreat the wood floors. Once a month, nail those shower vertical corner lines for mold.
