The rooftop bar was amazing. If you stay here, do not miss an opportunity to have a drink iup there. Rooms were well put together HOWEVER, the music was so loud the last two nights of my stay in the club area, I literally could not sleep. I was awake until 2am ? and had to get up for a flight....two nights in a row. Choose a room on a higher floor. They called this an "upgrade" but it was really not. I was on Floor 3

Unfortunately I would not recommend this hotel for anyone looking for good service in NYC. The safe in our hotel room broke and we asked for it to be fixed / replaced three times on different days with no success. We didn’t get any update on the fix so had to keep ringing for help and the safe remained broken for the whole of our stay. This meant that we had to use the communal safes that were located downstairs. Sometimes we couldn’t get one as they were all taken up by outside visitors - people that the hotel also seemed to favour. Our electronic curtains also broke on the first day and were never fixed and we were basically priced out of using any of the facilitates that the hotel did hsve on site because minimum spends for them (esp the rooftop bar) were at least 400 dollars. Something that wasn’t advertised before we booked the hotel. This is also where outside visitors were favoured above guests too. Therefore we only really used the hotel as a base despite paying a lot of money to stay somewhere nice with swanky bars and restaurants. The only good thing about the hotel was the gym, even our rooms weren’t cleaning properly.

Response from I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experie on May 11, 2024
I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at the hotel. It sounds like there were several issues that impacted your stay negatively, from the broken safe and curtains to the unexpected minimum spends (This was only for tables. As a hotel guest you have priority access to the rooftop.) and the cleanliness of the rooms. It's certainly frustrating when advertised amenities don't meet expectations, especially when you've paid for a premium experience. Your feedback about the lack of timely response to maintenance requests and the perceived favoritism towards outside visitors is valuable and will be addressed. We will use your feedback to improve their services and ensure a better experience for future guests. We have also reached out via email so please look out for thatAgain

I lived in NYC for 5 years and travel to this wonderful city 4-6x a year. This has been the best hotel I've stayed at for so many reasons. Location!!! A couple of blocks away from SoHo, Bowery, LES and Nolita. Shopping, restaurants, bars, parks, bodegas, grocery stores were literally steps away. Amazing lounge bar, great restaurant, beautiful rooftop view, lockers for your luggage, clean and decent size rooms, great Customer Service. Anything Ian Schrager touches is pure gold.⭐️

Initially we had booked a King room. This was not very good and I would not recommend it as it was too small. We upgraded to a loft room (at a cost US$200/night) which was an excellent room and we were very pleased with spending the extra money. The roof top bar is one of the best in Manhattan and great for a sunset view. There are a couple of other bars and also good places to eat in the hotel. We didn't really like the glass walls in the bathroom which meant you could see people on the toilet at night if the light was on in the toilet

The design is lovely. The cafe was great for grabbing a smoothie or coffee in the mornings. The common spaces were generous and beautiful. The rooms were laid out great and location was good. A few downsides: it felt like there weren't really people around to help. When we got in they told us casually that the room type we booked (king) was not available. They accommodated us with two rooms which was nice, but it was unexpected. Another morning our key card no longer worked and we got locked out of our room. After bringing up the issue we waited for almost 45 minutes in the lobby to be let back in. Luckily we didn't have anything to get to that morning, but it could have been a very frustrating scenario. We also didn't have room service two of the days. Not the smoothest experience, but overall a great stay.
