I was looking for inexpensive, no frills and close to where I needed to be early in the morning. This place nailed those criteria. The room was tiny, but clean and quiet and perfect for sound sleeping. The AC worked great. However, the shower water barely attained lukewarm and the coffee was vile, totally unacceptable for a NYC hotel. I’d forgotten how hip and grungy that part of the LES is, so it was nice to stroll by Arlene’s Grocery and up and down Ludlow. I slept well in a clean, comfortable bed, and that was what I most needed.
