Lower Manhattan Kid friendly Holidays

Nice hotel in the LES at a nice price. Recommend.

We loved our stay at NobleDen. Front desk staff was accommodating and helpful, location was ideal for access to the 6 line and Nolita, and the quiet rooftop lounge area was a lovely surprise. My only suggestion for improvement - the pillows were lackluster and seemed substandard relative to the rest of the property. Overall, would absolutely stay again.

Hotel Indigo, lower east side No doubt this was a 4.5/5-star boutique when it opened. Now I’d say 3-3.5. I chose this hotel because I was going to the US Open (tennis) in Flushing Meadows and a couple of Broadway shows. Maps said it was about a 16 min cab ride either way. Here’s why: Public spaces The hallway artwork on every floor has been defaced and graffitied, like the back of a bathroom stall door. Immediately devalues what you paid for. The hotel & Purple, the night club The hotel clientele is predominately late thirties to fifties; some parents with late teens. Purple caters to the 20 something crowd. The music is so loud, it booms throughout the hotel. That continues to about 1:30/2 am. Then the volume is reduced slightly to a duller boom, boom, boom. Ownership has created a situation where there’s dissonance between the hotel’s guests and the 20 something year-old club attendees that will continue to impact reviews. Location You’re right around the corner from Katz deli and Russell & Daughters--😋. The 20 somethings are very active in the area after 11pm, at least thurs-sat. Staff Were extremely kind and welcoming. Concierge had no visual indication he was a concierge. I told him I didn’t know the NYC subway system. While enthusiastic and kind, he didn’t help me feel confident that I could navigate by subway. The rooms LOVE the heated bathroom tile floors. Recommend they retreat the wood floors. Once a month, nail those shower vertical corner lines for mold.

There is no “on-site” parking, but there is a parking lot just down the street where the hotel discounts guests for parking here. I was at Sohotel for three days and the total was $98 to leave my car there for the weekend. Not terrible considering parking fees or getting towed/Scratched and whatnot.

We booked a stay in July and the room’s AC was not working. Please keep in mind that we were on the 10th floor so the room was at 80°. We talked to the front desk three times about it. They told us an engineer was on the way to take a look each time. They told us that the room would be fixed and ready when we came back for our event. We came back and it wasn’t fixed. Thankfully, the night shift crew helped us out by switching our room (finally) at around midnight. And they also gave us a complimentary breakfast. I’ve stayed at Arlo Nomad and Arlo Midtown and both stays were amazing. Arlo Soho on the other hand is another story. If it wasn’t for the night crew’s kindness and customer service by finally switching our room after multiple complaints, I would’ve had a lot more to say/write.

room requested unavailable at a 4pm check in even though i called ahead to confirm. didn’t refill tea packets in the room. for a 5 star hotel, it’s pretty average. a quiet place to stay, but don’t expect a 5 star treatment.

Great location, front desk attendant was welcoming and professional. Room was dated.
