Stay was nice and room was spacious. Staff was also very friendly. Only complaint was how uncomfortable the bed / pillows were. Outside of that, everything else was great.

Took a solo trip to NYC and could not recommend this hotel enough! It's in the perfect spot, walking distance to SoHo, all of the Lower East Side, and not far from the West Village. There's a coffee shop, restaurant, and rooftop bar all on-site. I didn't use the gym but took a look at it, it was very small but no one was in there, and it's underground so it was pretty dark. Housekeeping seems to come much later in the day than I'm used to, so they never ended up stopping by because I was always there. I did have to text the front desk to ask them to come while I was gone, which they responded to quickly and when I got back, everything was clean.
