Redford Hotel

We were informed on our second day of our five day trip that the property was closing down and we had less than 24 hours to check out

Honestly for what we needed it served it’s purpose. Small but functional bathroom and bedroom. Biggest problem was single pane windows. It sounds like the window was wide open all night. It’s a vibrant community, with heavy Summer season construction. Being so close to excellent restaurants and bars is a draw for us. We were prepared for a bit of noise. We live in downtown Toronto and are used to a similar neighbourhood experience. That being said we woke up every morning at 630am to noisy construction, and you could hear conversations at street level from 5 floors up. Nice Reno to the interior. Replacing the windows would go miles for improving experience.

Smallest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in but that’s to expected in New York. Staff was friendly and helpful and great location for food!

Very conveniently located close to Delancey/Essex St Subway station (handy for travel from JFK) and roughly midway between the Empire State Building and the Battery, making most sites of the city within walkable distance for those who like to explore on foot. The hotel staff were very friendly and the condition of the building fine, if the corridors were a little spartan and the metal bathroom shelf a little institutional. There is even a pleasant roof terrace though the view from it was hardly spectacular. In any case, this is not a hotel in which to linger because it is surrounded with life. The bed was very comfortable indeed and the selection of tv channels better than in many hotels, though the thin curtain/blind did not block as much light as might be desired and the room featured neither a hairdryer nor any tea/coffee making facilities. The neighbourhood is lively at night, but this did not disturb me in the room. All in all, I felt this was a good value hotel by NYC standards and would certainly consider staying again if on my own, though if treating a partner I might seek a few more frills.

Cinthya at the front desk was amazing. The room was great for two days. Could use some light maintenance, and more counter space in the bathroom, but otherwise a great hotel and location. Only big drawback for us was the *smell* (you know which one I’m talking about), but we looked past it. Would absolutely return and recommend.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Hotel near communications and walking distance to many nice areas as Little Italy, Brooklyn Bridge and Greenwich Village. Easy to get to from JFK with the subway. Small rooms, nowhere to hang your clothes or put your bags, we were 4 and had small bags which made it work. A very noisy area, especially during weekends- wear earplugs when sleeping if you get A room facing the street. A plus for free coffee in the morning and the price is affordable with very nice staff.

Location is great, close to transportation, food and area is enjoyable. The staff is great.

Some basic room maintenance needed to happen such as covering exposed outlets, plugging in lights, having towels for two people in the room instead of towels for one, and making sure the tv worked which it did not at first. Front desk staff was courteous and tried to be helpful. Bed very comfortable. Being charged an extra $15 a night for a “facility fee” did not seem to match their star rating of the hotel so that was a bit of a surprise as well.

Very nice hotel in a convenient lower east side location. Very reasonably priced too
