We had a very pleasant stay at the Ridge. The contactless check-in went smoothly. The room was a bit small and noisy but it had everything we needed. The cleaning staff was friendly and helpful. The location is perfect! You can explore the Lower East Side or take the subway around the corner. The roof terrace is a great place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. They didn't have a luggage storage so that was a bit inconvenient.
