Hotel On Rivington

Nothing special; but not bad either! Decent hotel (3 star is very fair) badly in need of updating. Nice location if you wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of more touristy areas of NYC; but have efficiency of nearby subway station(s). For the price I expected far more. Also, never recognized by front desk as a lifetime Hilton diamond member. Room is large for a NYC hotel room; and that is nice. But it is badly in need of a re-freshening. Still has tiny TV and outdated bathroom shower(tub/shower curtain). Shower curtain wraps around you as you are trying to shower as the tub is oval shaped. Water pressure, however, is very good. All in all, nothing special; but not bad either!

Don’t walk …. Run to the Hotel on Rivington Drew and Karina and the guy with the green hat are the best employees. They were very attentive and gave me dinner recommendations In the neighborhood! They deserve a raise. They are very attentive to detail as I mentioned I was here for an interview and the next day they inquired how it went and wished me luck.

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.
