Mid-Atlantic Cheap Vacations

I really, really wanted to like this hotel. We had been watching YouTube videos about Yotel for months and were excited to stay here. It was a little disappointing. We knew it would be small. That was not a problem. We were prepared for that and the room had enough places to store stuff if you are a light packer. There were 3 of us - me, my husband, and our teen kid, and we had plenty of space. My husband uses an electric wheelchair and we didn't have to fold it up to have enough room. The hotel is in an extremely convenient location and is priced reasonably for the location. We could either walk or hop on a nearby bus to get pretty much everywhere we needed to go. This was our first time in NYC and we were able to navigate easily. There were lots of nearby restaurants with plenty of different options for anybody. We booked the triple premium room - with a loft bed over a queen bed with the adjustable head of bed. My teen loved the loft. However, when we arrived, there was no blanket, just a sheet and pillow. We had to ask for one and got one of those rough, wool-like blankets instead of a duvet. The only day anyone came to clean the room or empty the trash was our last day there. The reading light in the loft appeared to have been pulled out of the wall. The light in the bathroom didn't work. The whole place was just a little shabby and run-down, going against the whole "living in the future" vibe they are trying to go for.

Had to wait 3 hours for our room. Bathroom was so small there was no room to set things or hang hang anything. Did not replenish coffee.

Front desk staff for afternoon check-in remains rude. For morning check-out, staff is fantastic and friendly. Security, maintenance, and housekeeping are helpful and friendly. Property is nice, quiet, safe, and conveniently located. Beds and rooms are comfortable. Shared bathrooms are clean, secure, and well-maintained.

It was an elegant glimpse in the past with all the modern needs. The stairway is absolutely stunning. A neat hotel close to everything.
