Pros:

The staff was one of the most friendly I have encountered in my various stays in New York. From the doorman who helped us get our bags from the Uber to the team at the desk during checkout, we were greeted with smiles and friendliness. The restaurant inside the lobby was amazing, and the food fantastic also. Location is fantastic if you are heading out on a cruise.

Pros:

David, one of the managers was brilliant, definitely went above and beyond.
Couple of annoying things, no shower gel/ shampoo.
Mini bar prices (considering the cost of the room) bit OTT $9 for a bottle of water! Come on guys!

Don’t stay at ink48 stay somewhere else.
Pros:

This hotel was one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed at front the man at the front desk that checked us that was rude. the bath tub that had orange water coming out and would never fill up, the paint falling in my eyes and hair in the shower. The bed was hard as a rock. The blatant female street walkers out front and up and down the street. Don’t go out at night alone. Not safe at all. Lots of drug dealers out. Don’t reserve the Hudson suite. Total ripoff. Room falling apart and no view. Would not recommend this hotel. Only plus is it’s close to the cruise port not worth almost 700 I spent.

Everything was great down to the service & the front desk making me and my partner comfortable. Only problem was the stand up shower. The ceiling was peeling and the hand held shower was broken.

Pros:

This property was fantastic. My only concern is that expedia says check out is 12, and we decided to go for an early breakfast and came back to the room around 10am. Our bags were still there but the bed had already been stripped of its bedding. Around 11, we were about to leave to just head out early, and the room cleaners were knocking to get in.

Pros:

We initially had a good stay but unfortunately my husbands backpack was given to the wrong person. I understand mistakes happen but this shouldn’t have since our luggage was labeled. I appreciate the managers and front desk associates taking the time to fix the issue but this should have never ever happened. Two hours later he got it but it really ruined our stay in NYC.
