I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Ridge Hotel. The room was very clean and I loved the design of the bathroom. The view out of my window faced the skyline of the Empire State building and it was so beautiful to observe at night. I don't recommend that you open the window. It is NYC, as expected, the traffic below can get loud. My only gripes about the room are (1) you don't have access to the thermostat. If you want to adjust the temperature in the room, you have to go down to the front desk and ask them to assist you. (2) The wood floors, while nice, cause you to hear the footsteps of everyone around you (including in the hall). This aside, the staff were plenty friendly and they will hold your bags after checkout (which was helpful since I had a late Megabus ride). Overall, I am happy that I chose the Ridge Hotel.
