I was pleasantly surprised by the really nice rooms that were much more spacious than I expected. Even had a small balcony, a private bathroom, and a TV. However, sharing the room with two other people was a slight inconvenience.

Location

The hotel's location is excellent, close to Chinatown, Little Italy, and East Village. However, it is in a rather dirty part of the lower East Side/Chinatown, close to both the Delancey Subway station and the Tenement Museum.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The Molly Picon Deluxe Suite, where I stayed, was fabulous and felt more like an apartment with a very spacious layout and a great balcony view. However, the photos of the rooms were misleading, and they did not look like they were advertised.

The staff at the hotel were not rude, but they were not particularly helpful or organized. The service was just average, nothing exceptional.

Location

The location of the hotel is the highlight, as it is right across from the Tenement Museum and in proximity to popular spots like Soho, East Village, and Little Italy. It's a lively area with plenty to explore.

Dining

The dining options were basic, nothing special to write home about. I found the experience underwhelming and the food was unimpressive.
