Nice design but not great functionally.
Great staff, good coffee and great bar. Small, spartan rooms with no drawers or closet. Desk tiny, no bedside tables to speak of, an the bathroom had nowhere to leave wash bag etc. Fine for overnight but wouldn't recommend for a longer stay.

seemed like a very outdated boutique hotel. Elevator was a "lift" from back in the day. Room was to basic, no mini fridge to store anything. Room had no dresser to store belongings, mattress was EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE, very odd bed set up... Would never recommend this place to anyone. Check in and check out process was good, very friendly staff

Charming Artsy Hotel
The hotel is in a great location to walk to fun shops and great food establishments. We took advantage of the pop up restaurant in the hotel- Thick Neck- it was excellent! We also had a fabulous time at the Boom Box in our private karaoke room. The hotel lobby is super charming and the rooms are small but funky and feel like an artsy vintage NYC hotel. The elevator is OLD SCHOOL and that is not necessarily a bad thing. Our room was chilly- our heat didn't work at all, but we were fine and the comfy bedding kept us warm. Warning- the parking lot adjacent to the hotel is in no way affiliated and doesn't offer any discount to guests so you are paying alot for convenience. $38 for 24 hrs. There are other garages that charge $25. that are only a block away. I would stay again, but maybe park elsewhere.
