I book this place for the convenience of the bars, restaurants, and the nearby subway to explore NYC. The online check-in to the hotel & room was fortunately not an issue as the instructions were clear to get in the building. That part, I will rate the hotel as five stars. However, there were some cons I need to point out. The first and biggest one was, I was placed on the first floor (104). Don't know what I did to deserve that punishment. The only saving grace was that room is not facing the main street (E Houston St) so it was somewhat quieter, but it was still a slight security concern. Secondly, my room was not a twin bed room that I booked, but a three's company which I did not like and had to sleep on the top bunk. Finally, I was not provided face cloths for shower use. I would only recommend if you can one avoid the first floor especially and two if you like the convenience of being at East Village & LES for the bars and restaurants.

It was perfect for the night, an eight minute walk to our destination, plenty of things to do in the area. This was my second time staying here.

The hotel just needs some love -- a bit neglected and dark and sad with really old mattresses.

The Location was amazing. I expected the room to be small and it was small. When we arrived we had a big trash bag of laundry outside our door and it stayed there the whole time. I was not surprised because we didn't see anybody who worked there until the next morning. Our room was half cleaned thank god clean sheets, but the floor was sticky and dirty plus a random dirty sock was under the bed. The only mirror was in the small bathroom no full mirror. We had a clean fridge coffee pot coffee but no coffee cups or sugar or creamer. When we were pleasantly surprised that when we got back at 3:30 am snacks had been left out at the front desk.

Good price and location but bed not so comfy

The only thing that did not meet my expectations was the bed. It was not soft or springy in any way. Kind of like lying on slightly padded cardboard. Other than that contactless check in was great, room was clean, had everything I needed. Close to subway, restaurants, etc.

I’ve stayed here many times and the rooms are small but clean and comfortable. The location is great, so convenient to the East Village, LES, Chinatown, even SoHo and Little Italy if you like to walk. Or the F train is on the corner. Not fancy but has everything you need. Self check-in is easy.

This is a contactless check-in hotel so there really is no service. That includes maid service, which is fine by me. I believe there was a bit of false advertisement, and hotels.com is partly responsible. The room pictures were NOTHING like our room. Really was JUST a bed. No desk, useable closet, or chair. You could barely walk without hitting your head on the tv or stubbing your toe on the bed. Nowhere to put luggage except under the bed, which was terribly dusty. We should have had a lower rate than what was advertised. Bathroom is VERY small, not for big people. ONLY good thing is the location, which is excellent.

Limited service - auto check in! It was within walking distance to the event I was at - so I booked it. Not much else to say. For the price my best option.

Stayed here for a quick overnight in SoHo. I just needed a place to sleep and wanted a private bathroom. The place was clean, the bed was comfortable enough. I had to get the bunk room as that was all that was available. The room was pretty small but that was fine for my purpose. It was also pretty quiet all night which was nice!
