The hotel lobby is very nice, they provide amenities like a robe and slippers which is also nice. The rooms are a bit dated and didn't seem super clean. The glasses that were in the room were smudged and it could have been cleaner. But, the balcony was a nice touch. It is a great location, close to the Williamsburg bridge but still in a hot spot neighborhood in Manhattan. You are close to little italy, soho, west village, east village, tribeca and chinatown. It does get very loud on the streets at night on the weekends so I'd recommend bringing earbuds.
