Hotel berhampiran South Street Seaport, New York

I have lived in NYC 20 years, and occasionally, we like to play tourist in our own city. My husband and I decided to stay a night at the Moxy LES in celebration of my 40th birthday. I even talked another couple who were celebrating with us into getting a room too. I chose this location as I saw the beautiful roof bar advertised and thought it’d be fun to start our night with a cocktail on the roof with a few friends before setting out to my main celebration elsewhere. Having stayed at several other similar hotels in town like Sixty LES, I never had an issue grabbing a cocktail at the rooftop bar. This was not the case here. I arrived with a group of 7 to head to the Highlight Room at around 7pm (wayyy before the nightlife rush!), and was told I had “priority” as a guest of the hotel, but first I had to commit to spending $350 for us to come up. Don’t advertise your bars as an amenity of the hotel if they are not freely accessible to guests. What if my friends just wanted a nice lemonade and to check out the view?? I guess they’re not welcome or that’s a lot of lemonade we’d have to buy! Just to note: Loosie’s, the club in the basement of the hotel with the “no-attitude dancefloor” — to quote the hotel website — is notoriously snooty at the door, and guests of the hotel are not prioritized for entry there either. We had other plans that night so didn’t even bother, but word to the wise. As for the room: Yes, they’re small. Expected in NYC, and was fine for us since we were only staying 1 night, but I would not want to stay here longer than a couple days. There is no real closet. Just a few hangers on a bar on the wall (some under the television!) so your clothes kind of have to hang flat against the wall. There are cubbies under the bed for storage. Not ideal in such a tight space. I stubbed my toe on them more than once. Maybe I’m clumsy or maybe it’s just a bad design! The light situation is super weird. I don’t know if our lighting was accidentally installed incorrectly, but in order to turn the bathroom light on, you had to have the main room light on. The main room light could be turned on separately. So basically, if you needed to go in the middle of the night, you either had to pee in the dark or turn on the lights of the whole room while your partner is sleeping! (Possible we didn’t see another light switch somewhere but I’m pretty sure the only switches were 2 by the door.) Toiletries: The shower had 2 pump bottles (sustainable. I respect that!) — but one was filled with a shampoo/body wash combo — and the other conditioner. I would expect something a bit more luxe even for a 4 star hotel — and certainly a separate shampoo and body wash! There was no lotion, which is usually standard in even the Holiday Inn. There was one small bar of soap for hand washing. No places to hang towels. I had to throw mine over the top of the shower door. Towels were pretty scratchy too. They do have a steamer and hair dryer. Bless! There was no fridge

An alternative to hotels in the New York City. It’s well designed and it’s much more quite than the city.

The negative part is the elevator always crowded in the morning. It does not have to stop on every floor even if full. It only contributes to the problem. On plus side, staff were very good. Specially John in the restaurant. Chris in maintenance and Martina was helpful in getting the airport transfer. Cold water was available all the time in the lobby.

The receptionists looked a little bit lost, didn't say much about the surroundings or what services they offer. They just gave us the key to the room and that was it. The room was spacious and looked exactly like the one in the picture. The location was fantastic - the new york times is in a 3 min walking distance, you'll need around 7 min to times square.

I just stayed at the Motto in Times Square for the weekend, and had a great experience. First, let me say that I was born and raised in NYC (I live about 30 miles north of NYC now), so I know the NYC area very well, and it was such a joy to experience the city as a ”tourist” for the weekend. The hotel is in a great location near Times Square, where access to public transportation is very easy, as well as to restaurants, and Broadway shows. The hotel is very efficient and modern. The rooms are cozy, and very comfortable. The service is excellent, and the breakfast menu is delicious. I very much enjoyed my stay at the Motto in Times Square.

I booked a room at the last minute after my flight was cancelled, and was so impressed with everything about The Local. They were so helpful and accomodating, from my initial phone call, to letting me check in early when a room became available, to booking a cab to the airport early in the morning, at their discounted rate. The Local is situated near the iconic Gantry Park, and is walking distance from shops and sights. The rooms are well designed and super clean, and the lobby has everything a traveller needs, from computers, printer, charging area to a bar area, comfy couches, local art...and my favourite: a roof top lounge area with views of the NY skyline and Queensborough Bridge. I highly recommend staying here!

Bilik ini sangat bersih, dinding sekatan diperbuat daripada batu bata dan mempunyai kesan penebat bunyi yang baik. Tandas awam dibersihkan dengan kerap dan sangat bersih. Mudah untuk perjalanan, 2-3 minit berjalan kaki dari stesen kereta api bawah tanah.

房間是一室一廳的套房，套房雖然空間都不是很大，但設施一應俱全，值得一提的是沙發是內置摺疊床，而且卧室有門，這樣可3～4入住且不受打擾；酒店含早餐；門口步行100米就是輪渡，去曼哈頓市中心非常方便。

Nice hotel for the price. Could use a update on furniture, but still nice and clean.

內部環境很不錯，酒店很新，含免費早餐，中餐晚餐可以餐牌點單，服務態度好，就是地理位置不大便捷，衹能Uber, 公交巴士地鐵站都繞不到，在高架橋邊
