The whole process is basically contact free, which is perfect for self-sufficient travelers. Instructions to check in were clear and easy. Everything was hassle free. The room was clean and well equipped. The location in the Bowery is wonderful, steps to subway stations, Soho, Little Italy, West/East Village. Limitless food options right around every corner.
There were front desk attendants there at all times that were always friendly, but since the experience was so seamless we didn’t require assistance for anything, except when they were kind enough to hold our luggage after check out for a couple of hours.
