Not really a critique of the hotel, which I suppose is not fair. The hotel itself was fine. $99 per night on a weekend in NYC, great. Rooms are tiny...I have NO idea how they made them look the size they did in the pics. They are small...but clean. And the communal bathrooms are fine. And contrary to other reviews, the staff was OK. Friendly, semi-helpful...OK.
However, 2 points: #1. The guests are the most ridiculous people I have ever been around. How did you folks manage to find each other and book the same hotel? I mean, geeze, I've never seen so many people trying so hard to be different, yet ending up looking and acting EXACTLY the same.
#2. We went into the hotel bar during the early hours...nothing special. $9 canned beer and old furniture. Just for fun, to see if we would be turned away, we approach the doormen on Saturday night to get into the hip/coo/mecca. "sorry, it's a private party tonight".
Lol, we did not want to get into your sad little "cool" place anyways. BUT...HELLO, you are the cheapest hotel in NYC.....and you don't even let your own guests into the hotel bar?
So sad. Of course it is the West village. It used to be full of cool, bohemian, artists, gay/lesbian, POOR folks. Now, $4200 for a 1 bedroom.
So, Hotel is OK, just be prepared to be confronted with people who think they are too cool for school. When, in reality, they are probably useless trust-fund babies with no actual use in society.
