New York hotellit East Village

Miinukset: Room was boiling hot.

Plussat: Location is excellent for NYU dorm Founders Hall. Also, easy access to Union Square and NYU. Neighborhood feels safe.

Plussat: Comfortable rooms, great staff, a small lobby, but typical for the neighborhood, steps from Union Square, the subway and tons of bars, restaurants, shopping and activities. Interesting albeit expensive drinks at the bar and very good and reasonable small plates available until midnight. Loved the ricotta, honey and thyme small plate.

Miinukset: All was good.

Plussat: Very comfy bed and pillow. We had an atrium room which was very quiet. Staff very helpful.

Miinukset: Doona on the bed. It was a light doona, but still too warm for summer. A light throw would be appreciated. ( Common problem with all hotels I find).

Plussat: The reception staff were very helpful and diligent.

Miinukset: The room and the bathroom are small.

Plussat: Location was perfect, we liked the cleanliness and services.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Cookies were good, burger bad.

Miinukset: There was a bug in the shower, ordered Diet Coke and got Diet Pepsi. Took a long time to get any food.

Plussat: Our room was handicapped accessible but did not look or feel as if it is a hospital room. Nicely done.

Miinukset: The size of the room was a bit small. We had no desk, no room refrigerator, no chair or love seat, and the TV was placed in an awkward position to see comfortably.

Plussat: Convenient location, close to everything. Room was clean and quiet.

Miinukset: Small room, our friends booked direct at the last minute and got a larger room at the same price. Valet parking VERY expensive but I guess that’s NYC. Added resort fee, they now call it a “destination” fee almost $30 per night. Woman at the front desk couldn’t tell us what that was for when we checked out

Plussat: Staff was very responsive.

Plussat: Excellent location. Loved the patio. Thoughtful in-room details. Great and prompt room service.

Miinukset: The AC kept switching off at night which was a bit annoying.

Plussat: Staff was amazing

Plussat: Great location and inexpensive

Miinukset: Spartan. Clean but the toilet leaked onto the floor, the heat was sporadic, and only one thin blanket was provided.

Plussat: Not a bad place to stay for a night or two, but not longer than that. If you're a college student on a budget, I would recommend. The cash only part did throw me off.

Miinukset: How is this hotel available for online bookings? When I arrived for a business trip, I walked upstairs to the check-in hallway (not a lobby) to meet a man behind plexiglass who told me that the hotel is CASH ONLY but there was an ATM I could use (for a large fee). I was given a key card to my room that was up another flight of stairs at the end of a long hallway. This is clearly a rent-by-the-hour establishment. My room barely fit a full bed and the window in my room opened to a cement chute. No light here! (For a size comparison, think half the size of an interior budget cabin on a cruise ship). It was late so I decided I could suffer through one night. I have stayed at Red Roof Inns with nicer amenities, though. The radiator sounded asthmatic and kept me up most of the night. The bathroom had sandpaper towels (one of which was terribly stained), a shower with no hot water and poor water pressure, and a tiny bar of soap and half-filled bottle of shampoo. No conditioner, lotion, washcloths, hair dryer, or even glasses for water. There is a warning on your receipt when you check in that the management is not responsible for any personal property left in the room. If you want to secure your things while you are out, you have to check them behind the plexiglass in the tiny "office." The worst part of my stay was that when I woke up, I felt itchy. I couldn't shake the feeling all day. After my business meetings I booked a red-eye home and forfeited the second night stay. AVOID!

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: No elevators, no AC , payment is cash only.
