Given the price, it is a pleasant surprise. The room is comfortable with good AC. It is quiet considering its location. However, the door can not block noise well. On the first night, I had a very bad neighbor, who kept on opening/closing their door (which is very loud) for more than 2 hours well into 3am in the morning. I could not fall asleep until then.It turned out the neighbor was having the takeout indoor the whole time, while keeping the food outdoor, effectively using the corridor as the kitchen.

I had a pleasant stay at the Holiday Inn NYC LES. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was small but clean and comfortable. The bed was actually quite comfortable, though I would prefer they put queens in small rooms so they can fit a small chair instead of always putting in a king that takes up the room. The food options in the lobby were very basic, and I never really saw ‘breakfast’ though maybe those packaged items in the morning is what that was for. There is no restaurant. The gym is very small and in the basement and had an off-putting smell so I didn’t use it. But it’s NY, so I got my steps in! The neighborhood is a mix of rundown and sketchy, cool and hip, and fancy and upscale, so options for everyone. The subway is a block away and couldn’t have been more convenient with some great lines that can get you to anywhere fast. I even got all the way to LaGuardia on one subway ticket and the free bus in Queens; probably just as fast and WAY cheaper than a cab or car service. One thing not under the hotel’s control I’m sure is that the nearest Citibike rack is quite a few blocks away in any direction. Overall, it was a great choice for the price and actually exceeded my expectations. If nicer hotels are ever at that same price point, of course I’d stay somewhere else, but if rates are high, it’s a great choice.

For the price, a terrific spot with everything we needed AND wanted - Location, amenities, price. Did I mention ... price? Right where we wanted to be with easy access to subways, shopping, theaters (both kinds). Friendly folk (& it didn't seem like, y'know: 'Oh, you're stayingHoliday Inn? I see...'Really great!.Rooms: Ours was a decent size room for the 3 of us - 2 adults and one 16 y.o. We were on a (relatively early) quest for colleges that meet our kid's needs and desires (Film, Big City, independence, etc.)Amenities: 2 Queen (or were they King?) size beds, the usual amenities (Including a really good shower that drained like it's supposed to - a definite 'upgrade' compared to our last trip!) and morning coffee you brew yourself (Keurig) and close to all the fresh-brewed you could ask for.)LAST but not least, Price: As good as I, an avowed cheapskate, could find that was still NICE! A really good match all around.Safety: Modern upgrades are apparent; I had no concerns whatsoever for the hotel, specifically or the area of NYC.Walkability: Access everything easily - great area itself, with plenty of options for travel uptown and beyond readily available.

I didn’t have many expectations of this place but glad I was wrong. First off the price was actually affordable and the room was comfortable. What makes me give this place 5 stars is the staff. From being able to check in early or food advice the front desk staff was incredible.

Clean hotel in a very good location, coffee and tea are also available free of charge. There is also a microwave and refrigerator in the room. The staff were also very friendly. My only criticism is that the hotel accommodates homeless people. In itself it's a good thing, but the guests are not informed about it and when you leave the hotel in the morning, many of them are found right in front of it and there is a rather unpleasant atmosphere. That's why one star is deducted.

We stayed here before because my daughter lives nearby. We like it this hotel a lot because it’s close to the subway, easy to find, close to Essex Market and the service is great. Our room is a little small for full sized 3 adults but it’s clean, co for table and has nice amenities. I do recommend and the price is right.Nearby activities: There is Essex market, the movie theater, the Tenament Museum and restaurants!!Walkability: We walk all around the area. To SoHo, to East Village, NYC, Katz Deli and more.

We came with my sister for a few days and were robbed by the cleaning lady!I'd just bought some items at H&M + I'd left my make-up bag and my skin care products visible, simply because I had no idea they'd be stolen, I thought I was safe.We reported it to reception, but they did nothing. Even though they were very nice and welcoming, it's not their fault!

I am very satisfied with my stay there the very helpful staff the clean room and the very comfortable beds metro right next to the hotel super convenient for going anywhere in New York City.
Not a bad little hotel. It's definitely on the small end but has everything you need in a room. The front desk lady agent was very polite and helpful at check-in. Downside you could hear your neighbors open and close their doors and even at times talking.

I know this is New York but rooms are on the small side. Restaurant is still closed but provides you coffee to make your own in the room for breakfast. But this location is so close to China town and metro station. And the staff - front desk and cleaning folks- are phenomenal. I happen to be missing my kindle and realized it after I checked out the hotel. I called to ask to check as it may had slipped behind bed table. Front desk lady promised to call back after looking for it where i had indicated. They called right back to tell me it was found. I am so grateful as I had many books i was still reading. So Thank you.

Stayed here for one night for a Broadway show we were seeing. Right around the corner from the subway station so easy travels. The room was better quality than I expected. All staff were exceptionally friendly. They made sure to say have a good night when we stepped out and welcomed us back when we came back in. They gave us waters and a granola bar when we arrived. The room was super clean. It was quiet, the heat was already on a good temperature when we arrived, the water pressure and temperature was excellent. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much.

I found this hotel to be really great, especially for the price. The staff are incredibly friendly, especially the woman who works the evening shift at the front desk. She is so warm and kind. The location is ideal and close to everything with great restaurants within a short walk. The room we stayed in is nice, beds and pillows comfortable, and bathroom clean. Dove products in the shower. Only drawback is the room is small for 4 people and the amenities limited with only free coffee and tea, although they're are lots of snack for purchase. I have stayed in a lot of hotels, from the seediest budget and to some of the most expensive, and this is one of my favorites when comparing all variables. I would happily stay here again.Rooms: Room was small for 4 people but clean and comfortable.Safety: I felt very safe at this hotelWalkability: You can walk everywhere from this location. Fun neighborhoods, public transit, shopping, just about anythingFood & drinks: So many great places for food and drinks within a short walking distance
