The Ridge Hotel is in the perfect spot in the east village! The rooms are extremely small, but if you’re visiting NYC you likely won’t be in the room much. Everything was contactless, including check in which was cool. I do still wish they had a human at the front desk, though. We arrived much earlier than check in and i emailed the front desk email provided asking if we could at least leave our bags but I never received a response. We also had AC issues, they came quickly for that but the issue was never fully resolved. Overall the stay was good, you pay for what you get here.
