Well, where do I begin with the review... Im trying to convince myself that I got a very good deal because I only paid $550 for 4 days and 3 nights, including airfare from my country of origin which is like 2 hours flight, and also it includes the shuttle bus (pick up and drop off from airport to the hotel) .
Location is great... I get to walk along Hudson river, maybe 2 blocks away from the hotel. I love walking so I get to walk around Soho, and West Village (lots of great restaurant here).
Elevator doesnt work at all, on my 4th day in the hotel, the bellboy told me that elevator is now working *sighs.. thanks goodness, i was staying on the 5th floor. The room is extremely small.. its like a room in a Train. theres an aírcondition, tv, and safety box vault.. although, i never experience anything that is stolen from my stuff... bathroom is shared... dont get me wrong, bathroom is very clean, they have shower room and toilet room in the bathroom that you can lock... but you will be surprised that youre brushing your teeth and somebody will take a poop and you can hear them moaning while taking a poop.. soo disgusting... you can even smell their s__HIT while youre in the middle of flossing your teeth.. i will always hurry back to my room whenever that happens... Staff are very friendly.. that black guy that works at night, he is very nice, i called him at 2am, because I was extremely thirsty, i was asking for any available vending machine in the building and the cafeteria is already closed.. he said, if I have empty bottle, he will be gladly to fill up the water for me... :) so I went downstairs, and he fill up the bottle from their office... thats really nice of him...
The bed is extremely uncomfortable, im tall, so imagine how I tried so hard to make myself comfortable sleeping, and it is very very narrow... try sleeping in your 3 seater sofa (not the leather sofa okay..thats how it feels) and when you get up in the morning, your back will hurt sooo bad... I really need to go to a chiropractor after the trip from NY... You can also hear the noises when people that are passing by or when youre outside the hallway, you can hear the sound of their television, you can also smell the clorox from the laundry when youre staying in your room... oh, please bring flipflops, they have this crappy paper (or plastic) flipflops, which is only good for 20 minutes, and then it breaks... so, whenever you have to go to the bathroom, you can use your flipflops .. they will provide you with a small towel, and this bath robe (which is like a jacket of my grandma.. coz its very short.. where did you see a bath robe which is above your waistline.... i think its a jacket *lol)
If youre under budget.. Im gonna say, Yes.. this is a good hotel.. great location (unless youre lazy to walk like some of the reviewers here, Cmmon people.. Soho is like 20 minutes walk from The Jane Hotel), very quiet neighborhood... I was even thinking, if i move to NYC, im gonna move to this neighborhood... but dont expect to have a great sleep.... oh, and theres a lot of gay guys that checkin to the hotel, because apparently.. the hotel is very close to West Village and Chelsea... But when it comes to comfortability, nah.. forget it... its not gonna happen if you stay in this hotel..
If youre around the area.. check out the farmers market... its really great...
