One of the best hotels you can stay at if you are driving into NYC. There is always parking directly across the street or around the corner. Keyless entry with pin instead of using a card, so you can never lose your keys. All in all a GREAT hotel. I always come back!

I absolutely love this hotel. The staff are very kind, the neighborhood is my favorite in New York, and the hotel is very charming. It’s not a hipster hotel, so if you want that experience, go do a different thing. But if you want to stay in a historic, restored tenement, and you want the most spacious hotel room that you can get for this price, with an ACTUAL balcony and kitchenette, definitely book here!!

This was by far a true NYC experience even though we only live an hour away we always are looking for extra unique places and this was it. The staff and owner were amazing. We even watched the end of the World Cup with them! Absolutely recommend

Well-situated, bizarre little hotel

What an interesting, bizarre little place in a great location. The rooms were comfortable, the balconies fantastic. And every interaction with the staff where information was imparted conflicted with other information imparted by staff and left me confused. If you need concierge service, this isn't your place. If you like weird and also pretty good wifi and a quiet place to sleep in a great location for a reasonable price, you're gonna be hard-pressed to do better in Manhattan.

Well...upon arrival, i was asked (made) to pay a 'facility' fee they said Expedia didn't collect...so that wasn't pleasant at all. otherwise, cute place ...drafty, but the atmosphere was part of the allure.

I love boutique hotels, and thought with the historic accolades this hotel would be great. It's not terrible, but there were quite a few issues, running toilet, flickering lights, broken coffee pot, cheerios on the floor from previous guest, lumpy pillows and the mattress was sloped and the shower doors didn't slide - the property is tired. The room was spacious and had a nice balcony but for the money I think we could have done better. Staff was not outright snarky, but not anxious to please either. You can do better in NYC.

Alright

This was a very boutique hotel, only one employee really at any given time and the lobby and main floor facilities are tiny and not great. The front desk staff is kind of weird and not the nicest to deal with at all. The room itself was pretty good, had a balcony, kitchenette and overall big room that was clean and comfortable. However, the temperature control was faulty and we had hot water issues. Good for our one night, cheap stay but wouldn't go back.

Beware!! This place is a DUMP

This is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in and I travel every other week. The hotel makes you check out 11 and if you want to leave your bags it’s a $50 charge even for only two hours. The management is aggressive and rude and not accommodating. It’s an old property with me no flare way over priced. They didn’t even clean my room in the three nights that I stayed there. I will never stay here again and highly suggest you don’t either

The first thing I was greeted with was getting maced and an employee of the hotel knocking out a protestor (who were contending the hotel owners son was a war criminal). I’m not kidding. The hotel has a large step and if you’re handicapped they will offer to lift you up, but it’s not exactly handicap accessible. I reasonably contended that this wasn’t the place for my 71 year old crippled mom who has cancer, yet couldn’t get my money back. Eventually Expedia would only get half of my money back as I booked 2 rooms. Paid for a room, never stayed. Never give these people your money.

We were disappointed with our stay unfortunately. We had some problems with the plumbing in our room, specifically the shower head kept falling off and our toilet was blocked/not flushing properly. We raised this with the staff and were assured it would be fixed when we returned that afternoon, however, when we returned nothing had changed and there was no evidence that any attempt was made to make the repairs. The staff also never checked in with us about the issue again. Also, the TVs don’t get free to air because there is no antenna which means you need to log into apps. We had problems with this as we were travelling internationally and a lot of our streaming services don’t work overseas. We also noticed that there was no sense of generosity, for example, the toilet paper was one ply and the grab and go breakfast had no tea, coffee or toasters to heat bagels etc. For the price we paid we wished we had chosen to stay at a big chain where the amenities are better and there is a greater sense of consideration to guests comfort. On a positive note, the beds were comfortable and the rooms were very clean. The hotel is also in a great area if you are looking for cool restaurant and cafe culture. It’s also walking distance to SOHO, so great shopping :)

Last minute 3 day stay- great views on balcony

I had rented the 1 bedroom apartment 701 for 3 nights last minute stay because my other accommodations at The Muse fell through due to city scaffolding and not being able to use the balcony room, they let me know the night before, so I had to scramble and many hotels were already full. When I arrived the Blue Moon hotel seemed closed, the street in front was closed, the Uber had to go down anyway because of all my luggage (I had traveled by train on a10 day Boston trip prior) so I was ready to check in! Turns out it was Passover holiday and the hotel was run on a skeleton crew.Ok. understandable,no glass of wine to welcome us like the website suggested? That's ok. The elevator is slow but efficient and the room is 420 friendly. Everything feels safe, they're nice and friendly, but no housekeeping or ice machine. No breakfast as advertised either, the cafe downstairs looks like a set of a cafe but again it's a holiday week. There's Dudley's cafe on the corner and it's wonderful food. They stay has great views of the Chrysler Building and the empire State Building. There's a comfortable bed. The tub had hairs in it...Eww. I thinkI loved the coffee machine and the mini fridge the most! It's a nice thing to wake up to a hot coffee and a view of the city. The historic Blue Moon has a fresh coat of paint and one can notice little updates and pride in ownership from the big screen TV to providing updated electrical outlets. There's a touch of the classic NYC feel to the place too!
