RIU has a quick and efficient system for storing luggage for travelers arriving prior to check in. We did have to stand in line twice in order to check in partly because the online check in process was nonfunctional. However, we were able to access our room prior to 3 PM which was very helpful since we were traveling with children. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean if slightly small and basic. The location is great for proximity to Times Square, theaters, and restaurants without much noise. Breakfast is included and is delicious and efficiently managed by hotel staff. Prices listed in Expedia are useful for a relative ranking between different hotels but do not reflect what you pay per night. Our basic room was a little over $500/night including various fees and taxes, significantly more than you might expect from the Expedia listing.

I recently stayed at the Arlo SoHo and overall had a great experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a stylish atmosphere and several great amenities. I especially loved the speakeasy, the on-site restaurants, and the additional outdoor seating areas, which created a great vibe for relaxing or meeting friends. The location is one of the hotel’s biggest strengths. Being in SoHo made it easy to explore the neighborhood and access other parts of the city. There were a few areas of the hotel that felt a bit dated, but nothing that significantly impacted my stay. I was also surprised by how small the rooms were; however, after spending time in New York, I realized that compact hotel rooms are fairly standard in the city. One thing I was particularly excited about was the floor-to-ceiling windows with city views that I had seen in videos and photos. Since I was on the fourth floor, my view was more limited than I had expected. Overall, Arlo SoHo offers a stylish stay in an excellent location with great amenities and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely consider staying there again on a future trip to New York.

Awesome breakfast & clean room
