I'm a woman traveling solo, shipping at SoHo and LES and wanted a safe, convenient, fun hotel. This was perfect for my needs, and I love that this hotel thinks about it's guests: all the necessities provided (hotels don't do this anymore, eg shower cap, etc), a lovely rooftop, coffee, croissants, etc. I also loved that this hotel isn't huge and I can run in and out all day without navigating a huge building..
