DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown
For the price it was fine. If I had to say anything negative it would be the rooms are small and it take time to get the elevator to tour floor

East Village Hotel
Great location! There was street noise but I brought a noise machine so that helped. There isn’t front desk staff on site so keep that in mind. It’s contactless check-in. There will be housekeeping there daily. I would stay again.

Kitchen sink was leaking everywhere, bathroom sink hardly drained so we couldnt really use it, bed was made but looks like it was just thrown together, room cards took a while to get it to work because instructions arent clear, when we arrived to check in the checkin person wasnt at all professional ...
