The Ridge is my new favorite stay in NYC. What a great location and great property. Everything was clean including the common areas. The rooms are strategically designed to maximize space and comfort. We loved the common area downstairs. It was clean and spacious and very welcoming. Checking in was super easy. Just type in the code at the front door and walk a few steps to the elevator. The room has a keyless entry which makes it very easy. There was a fragrance in the room that smelled like it came from the heating and cooling system. It was not overpowering but gave the room a fresh scent. The Ridge is also a great value! I highly recommend it.
