We stayed at the Hotel Rivington while on honeymoon and overall had a good stay
The positives
- The lower east side is less touristy and has lots of gorgeous boutiques nearby to explore
- The hotel was just one block from the Essex subway station
- The staff were generally very friendly and welcoming
- The room was always well cleaned and well stocked, room service bringing cookies every afternoon!
- Breakfast wasn't included in our room charge, but at $5 each it was reasonable
- The candy shop directly opposite the hotel is amazing!
The negatives
- The windows still let in a lot of noise 15 floors up and I was woken up in the early hours of the morning by another guest shouting on their balcony
- The hotel's website SEVERELY glamorised the views from bedroom windows, the view from our window was by no means stunning
- Bar prices were a little steep, even for NYC
Would possibly stay again, but we chose the hotel based upon a very glam website that turned out to be highly airbrushed. Good stay nonetheless.
