My daughter and I just spent a few days at The Ridge for a mother-daughter trip to NYC. This hotel was perfect. It is very small, but clean unit. The check-in and check-out process was super easy. The rooftop has spectacular views. Hotel is very centrally located to restaurants, bars, subway and we actually enjoy walking so we walked everywhere! Plus the weather was mild. The beds are odd - sort of crooked and rickety but strangely comfortable. The unit tends to be very warm so bring a very light nighttime clothing. I woke up sweaty. It's loud outside too but quite frankly, I loved the ambience of it all. It was truly a lovely time and we enjoyed our stay at this hotel. If you plan to be out and about and not wanting to stay in a hotel room, than this is the place for you. We got our dollars worth!
