This spot was great for me. My room was on the ground floor which is right next to front door. I had to deal with hearing people coming in and out of the lobby but nothing a white noise machine couldn't help drown out. The location of the Ridge is excellent. The F train on the block just a few store fronts down from the from door. Close to a CVS, a bunch of bars, the subway, LES, and Nolita. I had a standard room. I'd recommend this type of room if you're traveling solo. The room would definitely be cramped with another person.
