Hotel On Rivington

If, like me, youre expecting a nice renovation of the old hotel- think again... What was once one of my favorite hotels in NYC now barely rates two stars. I won't be staying there again. It was OK and fun before covid, then it was closed for "renovation". The lobby and restaurant look great; the rest of the hotel not so much. The renovation of the upstairs and rooms was sorely lacking as well as the overall treatment of the hotel experience- such as no luggage racks, worn towels, doors that don't shut properly, light switches, handles and hardware not affixed, nothing in the mini bar, no water bottles or anything of comfort in the room, which looked painted but not at all what I would consider "renovated". The hallway carpet was dirty, hallways unclean and only one elevator working. And that's just to name just what comes to mind at the moment. Otherwise the staff was pleasant. But if you're looking for anything over an iffy 2-star hotel my advice is spring for somewhere else.

Great location to explore downtown Great location, staff is super friendly and helpful. Rooms are a bit dated. Hotel is undergoing renovation, hopefully that will be addresses soon. VIP Hilton continental breakfast was presented beautifully and was plentiful of options.

Some rooms in bad shape The A/C was busted, the lights were broken and wonky and would either not turn on or stay off. The bathroom was disgusting - filthy with the top to the toilet tank always ajar, the toilet barely flushing and constantly making weird noises, the tiles were coming out, door locks were all busted, shower knobs, etc were broken. The AC was constantly on the fritz, making the room swampy. Also everything just felt dirty and gross. This would never be tolerated at a Motel 6. The only positive is the staff was very friendly and welcoming - but the rooms need a complete overhaul.

Missing the L from SLH hotels.... Booked 2 nights around 200usd/night. As HH gold got upgraded to a 'Studio King'. Got out of Delancy Essex street sub and a 5min walk will bring you to the hotel. The hotel was fully covered by building construction site, and upon check in we were told the main resto/bar was closed during our stay. It would have been nice to be told this in advance! Anyway, heading to our room via and old elavator and dark hallways (Moulin Rouge style) we entered our room. Room is very bright and hot as it was a sunny day, you get some amazing views but that's were the positivsm ends. Our balcony could not be locked as the lock was forced, our safe was completele loose in the closet. Despite mentioning this 2x to the reception, nobody did anything. The bedsheets looked dated and torn. Bathroom has little privacy but features a big black tub. Breakfast felt like we were on boys scouts, the night before you need to hang out your order at the door and the next day you get your lunchbox with juice, bagel, fruit and jam. In my opinion not worthy of an SLH hotel and especially no luxury feeling. All the downfalls were adressed during check out and we got our city tax reimbursed. Would not recommand this one at all.

Friendly staff, dirty room Friendly staff, both front desk and bar. However, the room was very dirty: We found stains on the bed sheets, the sink was absolutely disgusting, the sink and bathtub were clogged, and the wine glasses were covered in some kind of wax or grease. There was a strong smell, like a public restroom smell, on our floor for at least a day.
