The ridge is a nice quaint hotel located in a very active part of lower east manhatten. If you're staying here expect there to be a lot of noise Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights until around 5AM. The rooftop view is fantastic, and its located very close to the F subway line which is convinient. Keep in mind that this is not a normal hotel with hotel service though, so you won't get your towels and bedsheets washed daily and they won't pick up your garbage either. The walls aren't the thickest so you hear a lot of residents are doing in the rooms next to the one you're staying in. Overall it was an ok stay, but if you have trouble sleeping with lots of noise it might be a bit rough.
