Hotel Indigo Lower East Side New York

Comfy bed

No Bathtub, weird shower- either rainfall or handheld which i didn't really like. ugly decor

The elevator could have worked. It was shut down for at several hours on my 3rd day there. The fire alarm went off at about 6:45 a.m. on another morning and we had to evacuate the building. The staff was less than blase about it. They added a $300 "incidental fee" to my room charge upon check in "just in case of extra charges" during my stay. I don't want to be charged BEFORE I purchase something - but I understand the corporate use of funds trick. Nice job. The seating around the pool was pitifully small - as was the pool. I could see the hotel across the street was a much nicer set up and I would have preferred to have stayed there! The bar scene in "Mr. Purple" is apparently a big draw and it was MOBBED at night. WAY too loud and hot and crowded with desperate people. I don't need a damned painted cow and mediocre pop art in the lobby to justify a price hike for a "trendy" hotel - I just need good service and a nice room at a reasonable price. I know NYC is expensive - I just expected more value for my money in the LES. I stayed at one a few years ago and the value has diminished in the intervening years. I have stayed at many hotels al over the world and this chain is definitely among the worst in terms of value. I will not be staying with the gimmicky Hotel Indigo chain again.
