Lottus Event Center

This was an affordable option for me for a week in Manhattan. I was little nervous about the check in process and what to expect, but everything was seamless. Communication from the hotel was great. This a VERY basic hotel and there are definitely no frills, but the room was room was perfectly fine. Clean. No closet and no dresser. No maid service unless you pay extra. You can get fresh towels and linens on your own from the basement. A bit noisy on the weekend nights (I was on the 2nd floor), but nothing I couldn't tolerate. Contrary to what I had read there is always someone at the front desk and they were all very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again without hesitation.

The location was still good for a Saturday stay with a lower rate b/c subway stations are close by as is Pier 11 to get over to DUMBO quickly. The neighborhood wasn’t a ghost-town even a good bit after midnight. Room was clean and nice.

Property is clean, staff is friendly and location is ideal. Sits on the south end of SoHo and footstep,literally, from Little Italy. Short walks from Canal, Spring, Grand and Bowery subway stations. L’Industrie Pizza right across the street. Rooftop common area.
