Very TRENDY but this place forgets that it's a hotel
I recently moved away from New York and was back for a visit. I needed a midtown/flatiron place to stay that was close to work, I remember loving the Breslin (which is the restaurant connected to the hotel.) I also loved the lobby during the day for a coffee or place to relax in an area that doesn't really have that much around it.
I was only staying one night so just booked "the Cheap Room" which by the way is $229 plus tax. It was me and my husband, and trust me when I say that we ARE NOT people that need a lot of space. When we arrived at the hotel at 10am, the room was not ready, which I wasn't expecting since it was early in the morning. So we had a coffee and walked around. The person checking us in told us that she would call/text us when the room was ready, which I thought was a nice touch.
Needless to say, we never received a call, which was ok since we were back at the hotel at 3pm and our room was ready. We went up to our room, via the slowest elevator, and when we arrived to our floor we the hallways were VERY dark. Then we opened the door to our small room (again, this didn't really bother us) to find a room that looked like a dorm room. Very "Brooklyn" and hip, but a strange space for someone over the age of 25. 
There wasn't a closet in the room only a few hangers in the corner. There is a kettle, which is great, but no tea or coffee to use with the kettle. Everything in the room is available for purchase, of course at a high rate. 
The bed is a small full size bed, so kind of small for two people and the moving area around the bed, is narrow - especially for two people. The bed is NOT comfortable at all. It's hard, and the room was hot and we were not able to fix the thermostat. The bathroom is an ok size, but again small - all this is pretty standard for a NY size room.
Finally I want to add the main reason for this review. The lobby of the hotel is very TRENDY and is obviously the place to be seen. So if you're in town to be near the "action" then this hotel is not a bad option. NOW if you want to actually get some sleep in the hotel, then I would recommend re-thinking staying at this hotel. We were on the 8th floor and the walls are SO THIN that I could hear conversations from the street. Also the halls were filled with people coming back from being trashed at the bar. Again, I LIVED in Manhattan and understand the sounds of the street. But this hotel has forgotten that it's a hotel and is just trying to be a "hip and trendy" place to be seen.
