Underwhelmed.
The views are great but the tiny rooms are worn, with stains on the furniture and carpet. It's just trying way too hard and there are much better hotels in NYC which are a lot hipper, if that's what you are going for. I can't think of any reason to stay here unless you have to be in this neighborhood, but if you do, stay at the Gansevoort. I don't think it was dirty, but it's clear the room has seen many nights of partying and the amenities are average--I guess you are paying for the view. The hotel staff was lovely though and the beer garden is fun.
