This is a wonderful hotel. The rooms are very expansive for a hotel, though not quite as big as they appear in the pictures. We appreciated the enormous TV. WiFi worked without a hitch. The kitchen unit is pretty rudimentary -- a hotplate, sink, and small fridge -- but enough for our needs. The Lower East Side location is unbeatable, though it can be hard to park in front for unloading or loading your baggage, since the streets can be closed off. I was able to sneak my car in without a problem. For regular parking the municipal lot is close by and convenient, but not cheap (parking is not cheap anywhere in NYC).
