Feels more like a hostel than a hotel
I wanted to stay in SOHO and chose this reasonably priced hotel based on the address & 4 star Trip Advisor rating. Maybe my expectations were just too high, but I was disappointed.
POSITIVES: 
On-site staff do a good job with what they have. People were friendly at the front desk, helped me with directions; the housekeepers made my room as clean as they could. Location is very central & a short walk to great shops & restaurants.
MY GRIPES:
1. My room was "grimy." Stains on the shower curtain, basin, walls in the room need scrubbing, towels have been used so many times they're paper-thin. I wouldn't walk barefoot on the carpet.
2. Security. There was a front desk person present whenever I came & went, but I don't know if they were there all night. There is no elevator key card required to get onto the guest rooms and the hotel is small. I found myself spooked thinking anyone could walk in off the street & potentially be outside my door. 
3. Thin walls. I heard my neighbors & forget trying to sleep in.
4. WIFI was spotty / non-functional, and no cable TV. This pissed me off. I had jet lag and was up for most of the night without internet access, trying to watch local stations through the fuzzy off-air antenna. Not cool. 
Note that the location is SOHO, but it's the part that runs into Chinatown. 
I feel a bit guilty slamming this place since so many other people found it pleasant, and the staff are really kind - but I would never return. In hindsight I should have checked out after the 1st night.
