My January visit to the Ridge Hotel was all I could ask for--cool eateries, F subway access we within yards, and relatively quiet, given there was low occupancy and considerate residents. The walls aren't soundproof, but the rooms are "simple-posh," like the pictures. Heat was sufficiently controlled by room thermostats. The mattress might be too firm for some, but the bathrooms were Hollywood style with sufficient hot water, a perfect tub/shower and vanity. I hope to return again!
