Cool and probably a bit too trendy for us
We stayed here for 3 nights recently. The location is great adn we loved LES generally. The room faciltiies were fine and the bed comortable. Our request for a quiet room was met in that we were on the 9th floor on the pool side so away from any noisy bar area. The pool staff were very nice but the fact that the pool areaconverts to a bar in the early evening is a bit off putting especially on hot days. It was also being used for a private event one afternoon when we wanted a swim. The food in the Japanese restaurant was nice but I had the most expensive beer I have ever had there $15 ! The gym has great equipment and was very good and great for a workout. The front of house are all beautiful and very friendly/helpful but I felt 20 years too old as lots of local young cool people frequest the bars. Would I recommend the LES ? Yes with thes provisos I mentioned. The area is great with lots of fun bars and restaurants, close to Chinatown and Little Italy.
