I really enjoyed my stay at The Ridge. The public transportation was very close by. There was a lot of bars and food options with in walking distance. Check in was easy and convenient. The only issue I had was the smell of the cigarettes smoke coming from the 7th floor balcony as I stayed on the 6th floor. It was a bit bothersome but my main concern was being charged for the room smelling like smoke. Aside from that I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to NYC.
