The hotel was in a location where I could walk to the attractions in New York I wanted to see and was near the subway as well. The hotel room was clean and was sufficient enough for my two night stay in New York.

Great location, friendly staff and clean. Squeaking bed springs from wire frame are amusing - the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was small but well designed and sparkling clean. Elevator is small so avoid checkout rush hour. A well-done renewal of an old building, so the issues mentioned are, to me, part of the charm. I will stay again.

I had the most wonderful stay at The Life Hotel. My king bed was so comfortable and the high ceilings helped the room feel so spacious. And finding the robe was the best surprise! Being right in Koreatown, I could enjoy the most delicious food only steps away from the hotel, some places even being open till 3:30 in the morning! The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, and I appreciated the wifi access so I could continue to work remotely while travelling. I will remind travellers that with all the added tech in hotel rooms nowadays (tv, wireless charger, phone) and hotel hallway lights always being on, there’s extra light within the room that can make it difficult to sleep if you’re sensitive to that kind of thing, but I always bring an eye mask so I still had the most restful sleeps.

Stayed here for seven nights, loved the classic feel of the hotel, room was small but expected for NYC, staff were friendly, bed was comfortable and everything was very clean. We could hear noise from other guests while they were in the halls, but I find that's very common in hotels. The area felt very safe, and we were able to walk easily to numerous destinations, one block to the subway, and 3 blocks to Penn station where we got the train from Newark. Very happy with our stay, Thanks!
