Independent, Lower Manhattan hotels

"Very good hotel experience all around"

"Hotel itself is doing quite well at looking good in the surroundings. Front of building needs work but this might increase the rate I am getting so....I understand. I do like this hotel. I am a regular, weekly business user."

"The property is really cool. I enjoyed the communal space: design and use. The rooms while small, are perfectly cozy. The lights were a fun feature."

" Wet good hotel. Alex st the door is great "

"Not bad for the price"

"Enjoyed this property, easy to get to. Awesome rooms. Terrific location being close to places and also quiet location. Loved having the room with the terrace, well worth the upgrade for the space and open air and view "

"Very clean, friendly environment and overall really nice rooms"

"I love the chocolate chip cookies!"

"This is a hostile not a hotel so you need to keep that in mind when renting here. This is not for the fussy. This is for those who want to save big on hotel fees yet be close to it all. Sleeping quarters are very small, but clean and bed is comfortable. Communal shower and bath are cleaned once a day by maids. Noise level is not too loud, but you can hear your neighbors on occasion. However, another hostile I stayed at a block away was much noisier and not as well run. Again this is a hostel, not a hotel. You have to accept some rough edges to obtain the exceptional savings. If you are OK with this, this is the place for you in NYC, "
