This property had aimed to be a hipster, rock and roll cool experience on the Lower East Side when it first opened, and I've stayed there often ever since - more because of the location than a love of the place. It seems to now be aiming more for a European crowd. I happened to score a wonderful room this time with a spectacular view of the city from the 19th floor. If you are lower, prepare for a lot of street noise if you face Rivington. The rooms are sadly in need of an upgrade and are showing their age in fray and messed up floors. This particular room was not bad at all by comparision, and had a huge balcony. Only stay here if you get a good deal. Not worth their fall prices unless they really whip this place back into shape.
