Style and service
Great design elements, large rooms for Manhattan, the bathrooms are particularly great looking. The service was first rate. And the views from the upper floors are sweeping.
Wifi worked perfectly. Close to subway. 
That said, no bargains here. You get what you paid for: a stylish contemporary hotel with great service in the center of the LES scene. Low floors have a slight noise problem from the clubs and bars that crowd the street, nothing a little white noise played on your laptop won't cure. 
Shomer Shabbat customers can book a low floor and a metal key that the staff will hold at the desk. They are very good about this and about leaving the lights on or off when the room is made up and the bed turned down. Short walk from several shuls.
