The Ridge offers a clean, affordable, and secure stay in the LES. The staff is very kind and helpful. The amenities are standard (toiletries, fresh linens, and towels, common area with seating), which is all you need if you have your heart set on exploring the city. The location offered everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The subway line is steps away. Food, drink, and shops are in very close proximity. The neighborhood is very young and hip with a lively nightlife to enjoy. Will return to The Ridge on our next stay in NYC.
