The Ridge

Fun and comfortable location easy check in and check up thumbs up definitely stay there again

The Ridge Hotel provides an interesting alternative for people looking for a no-frills stay at a cost typically below other properties in the area. By limiting when staff is on-site (based on my experience, only around check-out time, and then primarily to ensure check-outs, clean up and turnover rooms) The Ridge is able to cut costs. The room I stayed in was small, but clean and functional. Furniture was limited, with no desk or chair, just the bed. However, a communal area in the basement was large and provided space to work, eat, watch television and converse with friends. The guest room also included a small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker, as well as a television. Unfortunately, the TV in my room only received a few channels when I arrived, and later stopped receiving any channels. Since my stay was short and the room was primarily for sleeping and changing clothes, that was not a major issue for me. The bathroom was clean and provided a spacious shower. There is also a rooftop observation deck equipped with small tables and chairs and a nice view of much of the Manhattan skyline that would provide a comfortable atmosphere for conversation and a drink in warmer weather (I was there in January, when the weather was not conducive to spending much time on the observation deck). Because my room was on the first floor at street level, traffic noise was a factor, but I didn't have any trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep in spite of it.

This place made it easy for me to get around. The staff were always friendly. I liked having the kitchen facilities, which made my life easier. Only suggestion would be, for long stays, they offer you at least 1 room cleaning for free. Otherwise, I will totally stay there again.

The hotel is located in SoHo which is really convenient to access any shops restaurants and to get to the subway. While the facilities were limited to a rooftop and lounge the staff who were on shift were very friendly. The wifi is horrible. They have a system which connects the door systems to the wifi since there are no room keys and just a passcode. This uses alot of the wifi and it’s hard to use it. Free snacks, coffee and water also provided which is a benefit. Overall a nice stay for a few days when visiting NY

We stay at a lot of hotels in Manhattan because of work and this is by far the worst one we’ve stayed in. I also never wrote reviews but felt compelled in this situation. The rooms are tiny, even by NY standards. The bed was super hard and “supported” by a makeshift wood frame. The bathroom was a mess and there was no working temp control. We turned the heat off in the middle of the night and opened the window and it was still 80 degrees in the room by check out time. Definitely would not recommend this hotel to anyone. There are plenty of hotels in this price range that are much better.

Didn’t realize that contactless meant no daily housekeeping or in person staff to help with any issues. Overall, average stay, location is great

room was sufficient for one night. clean and rooftop had a great view. No staff available and check in is contactless. Glad everything went smoothly.

The room was small but comfortable which is typical for New York. It was enough for me since I was mostly out the entire day. It’s also right near the subway and now too far of a from a lot of the attractions in New York. I enjoyed it would come back again.

The property is safe with auto lock from the main entrance to the room. All the facility seems like automated and thus it’s usual to seem staffs less in the front desk. It is located in nice place with lots of dining options in walkable distance. The only thing I don’t like is in long stay they don’t come to clean and change towels and we hardly see the staff in front desk it’s difficult to communicate.
