Seriously, what’s not to love? It’s located on the Lower East Side, around a ton of fabulous restaurants and places to get drinks (check out St. Marks Place)! The hotel was immaculate, the service was quick, and it had some cool amenities, like a gym (which I never used but the thought is nice), a sauna and steam room (which I most definitely did use). The hotel had a fabulous rooftop, which gave us a view of Downtown on one side and a view of the Empire state building on the other. My room had very firm (but comfy) mattresses and a fabulous shower that included a shower wand. It’s definitely cool because it’s away from the chaos of Downtown and Times Square, but close enough to the point where you can hop on a subway and get to these points in under 20 minutes (walking included). One of my favorite eateries nearby was this little vegan shop called “Orchard Grocer,” that had vegan breakfast sandwiches (get The Bowery, it won’t disappoint). The staff was friendly and accommodating and they took my deposit in CASH which allowed for a speedy return upon checkout instead of waiting for the bank to deposit it. They’re delivery friendly, and it’s such a small hotel that they actually would acknowledge you as you leave and/or enter, something I’m not used to because I’m used to going to commercial sized hotels like the ones in Vegas. They also offered a plethora of bathroom toiletries AND even complimentary water bottles, something the people over at the Mandalay Bay should try doing. Most importantly, it was very clean and cost effective. I cannot rave about them enough.
