The Ridge Hotel is a great place to stay in NY for couples/backpackers. The location was really good, right next to Soho and a minute walk to a F line subway station. The room itself was quite small with really basic amenities. If you’re traveling with a lot of bags and are planning to stay for a long time, staying at The Ridge can be a little uncomfortable, as room service is not complimentary like most hotels. Otherwise, the hotel provides a large community area and a great view of the area via rooftop access.
