The Leon Hotel was just fine for a budget stay and long weekend trip to the city. The location was perfect for walking to Little Italy and SoHo. It was an easy ride to Dumbo as it is just across the Manhattan Bridge. If you’re ok with being in China town and you’re expectations are super high, it’s just fine.
Check in/out was polite and efficient. There’s not a place to gather (restaurant or lobby). The room (Queen) was dated but clean and spacious. The cabinetry and carpet need a serious replacement but are functional. The bathroom has been renovated with a decent shower. There was a Keurig but no mini fridge. The bed was very comfortable and well made. Cleaning service daily was on point. Not a luxury stay but decent overall.
