Noisy + Junkie's/Drunks roaming neighborhood
For those this may help. I'm in my early 30's traveling with wife and 2 year old. This place definitely did not live up to expectations.
The hotel seems to be focused on hosting events in their courtyard, rather than respecting the guests staying at the hotel. At least while we were there, two out of the three nights were private event nights that were parties in the courtyard. The room doors open up on the outdoor courtyard, and the rooms are far from soundproof. We experienced loud noise which lasted until mid-night (which is late for families with young children). They setup a huge grill and buffet table right in front of our door, which did not help either. If you care about sleep, this is a BIG thumbs down.
Then, if you decide you are going to walk from the place to nearby attractions such as Union Square, etc.. you will have to walk about two blocks that is really not a great neighborhood. It's a bit discomforting, and you're almost guaranteed to be harassed a little bit by the drunks. We saw a man shooting up on the sidewalk, among other things. Not exactly the kind of place I personally want to be taking my family. We resorted to taking a taxi to by-pass this little area, which was fine.
