NYC is Funky Town.... However, The Historic Blue Moon is a National Geographic award – winning hotel. an experience of Old New York’s Last Transformed Tenement. Glad to hear you were pleased with our hospitality and our well-appointed apartment style suites. We now have a Pasticceria/bakery with a rich array of Italian baked goods and our homemade handmade mozzarella, ravioli, gnocchi, and an assortment of sauces made from scratch are unique to today’s culinary world. I hope on your next trip. Best wishes, Randy Settenbrino, artist and developer

So sorry I missed you and all your group. I would have so wanted to give you our grand tour of our National Geographic award – winning hotel. If you come back in the Spring or fall come see me for an experience of Old New York’s Last Transformed Tenement. I would have liked to have heard you were pleased with our hospitality and our well-appointed apartment style suites are pretty good too. We love having offerings no one in the NYC hotel business do not have…. kitchenettes, tubs, large bathrooms, high ceilings and balconies are white elephants in NYC. This year I’ve put the same inspiration and drive to recreate my Nonna Carolina’s 1930s Brooklyn style artisan Italian restaurant. We now have a Pasticceria/bakery with a rich array of Italian baked goods and our homemade handmade mozzarella, ravioli, gnocchi, and an assortment of sauces made from scratch are unique to today’s culinary world. I hope on your next trip. Best wishes, Randy Settenbrino, Artist and Developer

This review is inexplicable. It says nothing and does not concur with any reality of our award winning hotel which has 24/7 front desk. Randy Settenbrino, artist and developer

Thank you for your review. We are so happy that you enjoyed our large apartment style suites and had use of one of our many balconies. We are a hidden gem in that we offer so much more in room size, in kitchen facilities, and I’m happy that you were privy to enjoy how our historic hotel, real NYC staff and our home style Italian cooking makes you feel like one of the family. See you in NYC! Best wishes, Randy Settenbrino, artist and developer

Thank you for your review, all our staff are native New Yorkers with extensive knowledge of the area. They are committed to personal service. The Historic Blue Moon is located at the epicenter of lower Manhattan, the crossroads of Soho, Chinatown, East Village, South Street Seaport and easily accessible by subway.

Thank you for your review. We are so happy that you enjoyed our large apartment style suites and had use of one of our many balconies. We are a hidden gem in that we offer so much more in room size, in kitchen facilities, and I’m happy that you were privy to enjoy how our historic hotel, real NYC staff and our home style Italian cooking make you feel like one of the family.

Our rooms are pristine, we do not use temps. We have our own cleaning staff who we hold responsible, and we use only in house facilities including our own laundry center. Our managers review the rooms during cleaning operations and prior to check in.

Thank you for your high approval rating. Hope to see you back this winter.

We're sorry that you did not appreciate the extreme uniqueness of our property. Not only was your room nearly double the size of a standard NYC room, but we also boast in every room ten-to-fifteen-foot-high ceiling, spacious bathrooms with full tubs, luxury fabrics, tables and chairs, induction plates and kitchenettes with deep sinks, chine and cutlery, fridges and freezers, but more than half of our rooms have balconies as well.Regarding your Television predicament, our flatscreen televisions provide most major channels. Your room did in fact have a bedside outlet, you merely had to look - every four feet, New York Law mandates there be an outlet. If your shower had no water, you must have not known which way to turn the handle, as the sink and the shower are on the same plumbing line, and thus would either both would receive hot water, or neither would.There are three light sources in every room, bedside, recess lighting, and central fixtures. Should one not have been active, our maintenance team remains on hand to deal with any issue that develops, you should have informed the front desk for any such issue.The Historic Blue Moon Hotel is an Award-Winning Historic Renovation Preservation Project, recognized and awarded by National Geographic as "One of 150 in the Western Hemisphere to Check Into", "Best Hundred Little Hotels" by Rizzoli, CitySearch, and New York Magazine, among others, and more than 50 major articles have been published on our Award-Winning Hotel.Our front-desk staff, labor tirelessly to provide all our Guests with the maximum level of 24 /7 comfort and safety. I welcome you to go find another Hotel in NYC that offers the exact same accommodations for even 50% more than our prices - because nobody can offer you the Historic Blue Moon Hotel Experience. Next time do your due-diligence, and if it's an industrial chic hotel that you want, there are 400+ in NYC alone - but we are Once in a Blue Moon.

Most people appreciate the experience and epicenter location that The Historical Blue Moon offers. Unfortunately, in the world we live in it is impossible to please everybody. Regarding your comment “The property is tired”? It is a 2006 building with a skin of all the architectural details sanctified throughout the hotel. Additionally, while shut down during the pandemic 2M upgrades new furniture, kitchenettes, pots pans, chine, cutlery, and refinishing of all the historical details. Our rooms have three different light sources, tastefully and strategically laid out. A flickering light bulb & a running toilet is a inevitable periodic occurrence which we have staff take care of post haste. We have two different types of pillows, hard and soft, and they are from an upscale company specializing in hospitality. Our rooms are apartment size rooms, luxurious accommodations, private thermostat kitchenette, large bathrooms with tubs as well as an award-winning design replete with historical details balconies which all of which are virtually nonexistent in NYC and nowhere near our prices and I challenge you to show me otherwise. Moreover, we have our own bakery on the premises, café restaurant, wine bar and often a pianist. I would like to add there is so much more about our very unique NYC hotel besides having the biggest and best rooms in NYC complete with two white elephants balconies and kitchenettes and that is, we are known as the Hotel for The Art's.In fact, Blue Moon, is a meritorious art project, boasts 40+ articles and prestigious awards and accolades via National Geographic Traveler (One in 150 Hotels in the Western Hemisphere to Check Into), NY Magazine, Citysearch, and Rizzoli’s Best 100 Little Hotels.Next time you're in NYC drop by, I hope to provide you with a personal tour of our historic award-winning hotelBest wishesRandy SettenbrinoArtist and Developer of The Historic Blue Hotel

We're sorry you did not appreciate your stay and you wanted to join friends elsewhere. Your review does not concur with our general guest experience nor with the awards and media triumph associated with our project. The Historic Blue Moon has the biggest and best value apartment-style rooms in NYC, and indeed is recognized and awarded by National Geographic as "One of 150 in the Western Hemisphere to Check Into", "Best Hundred Little Hotels" by Rizzoli, CitySearch, and New York Magazine, among others, and more than 50 major articles have been published on our Award-Winning Hotel. We are at the epicenter of the Lower East Side, located on a Museum block, a hop, skip, and a jump from Chinatown, South Street Seaport, East Village, SoHo, and right over the bridge from Wlliamsburg. Very Truly Yours Randy Settenbrino

We so appreciate your review. It is wonderful when guests come who appreciate history, art and preservation. We hope to see you on your next trip to NYC. Best wishes,Randy Settenbrino,Artist and Developer

Thank you for your beautiful review and high assessment of our property. Hope to see you on your next stay and give you a personal tour. Our project was a 5 year art preservation design project. It has brought us much acknowledgement by major publications and awards such as National Geographic as being 1 in 150 hotels in the western hemisphere to check into. It put us in New York's Best 100 Little Hotels, Best wishes, Randy Settenbrino, artist and developer.

Thank you, for your review.

Maureen, not sure what you could have missed if you ever stayed in an NYC room. I assert our rooms are the biggest and best on the Lower East Side. As aside we are located in the epicenter of Lower Manhattan. out of 150 in the Western Hemisphere. Thank you for letting people know our rooms are the biggest and the best in the city. We feature many things that other hotels don't: large bathrooms with tubs, full kitchenette with cutlery, pots and china. Currently we have Sweet Dreams Pasticceria/bakery and Settembrini's Trattoria, so now we can show you even more love with artisan Italian cooking and baking. Handmade ravioli, gnocchi, and exotic Italian pastries Very Truly YoursRandy Settenbrino,Artist and Developer.

I challenge you to you to find a property such as ours for twice the price..A National Geographic award-winning Historical hotel with museum like qualities and rooms starting at 311 sf more than half with balconies and bathrooms with tubs, full kitchenette with cutlery, pots and chine. We also have an on-sight bakery Sweet Dreams Pasticceria/bakery and Settembrini's Trattoria, so now we can show you even more love with artisan Italian cooking and baking. Handmade ravioli, gnocchi, and exotic Italian pastries. Best wishes, Artist and Developer of The Historic Blue Moon HotelRandy Settenbrino,Artist and Developer.

Your cryptic message leaves much to the imagination. Not sure whether you mean internally or externally. The hotel is in the liveliest cultural and artsy part of the city and this fact resonates highly with all of our guests who want to be in a real neighborhood and not in an anonymous, soulless hotel in midtown, a place even native New Yorkers dread to be in. If internally occasionally people come to the hotel who lack discretion, this is easily rectified by the front desk putting a wayward guest on notice, that either they calm down or leave the premises. Sorry that the unique opportunity to be an award-winning hotel , chosen by National Geographic as one of 150 in the Western Hemisphere to check into, as well as the huge media triumph and other accolades, didn't quite get your attention. Wishing you a better stay next time you are in the city that never sleeps.

Thank you for your approval! We look forward to seeing you on your next stay in NYC.

Thank you for your glowing review. It's nice to be acknowledged and appreciated by someone who has the sensitivity and awareness to take notice of the many unique details that abound our award-winning property. Best wishes,

Thank you for your high recommendation: character, charm, comfort and convenience.... what more could one ask for ?
