Good value hotel except for Anwar the hotel is better than the impression the front desk gives
Pros:

Well, the reception is pretty basic, but it’s good that there is still a real person there all the time. Some hotels don’t even have a person there. The rooms are a good size and really is everything one needs, especially those who’ll be out all day.

Cons:

Nothing except for this one receptionist, Anwar. He was very hostile. Check in is ar 3pm, I arrived before 2pm. He said it was $50 for early check in, which is fine if the hotel declares they charge for early check-in. But I didn’t need to, so I said no thanks, I’ll leave my bags instead. He wouldn’t let me leave the bags bec the room is ready. The bag “storage” is literally just the space beside reception. I said thats not my fault that the room is ready, but I should be able to leave my bags. He wouldn’t accept it, said that was policy and said I could wait in the one couch they had until check in. Later I find out that was not the policy at all. He also told my colleague that baggage can only be stored until 4pm or it’s a $10 charge. When actually, the policy was until 7pm. I don’t understand why Anwar would invent his own policies. Heard that they’ve had a lot of complaints about him, seriously. Other than that, it’s a good value hotel. The other front desk guy, Jerry, was absolutely great.

Upon arrival,Jerry the front desk concierge, made my check in easy! I was in my room fast.Jerry offered advice on parking and helped with luggage cart unloading my car!! My room was amazing with a gorgeous view of the Manhatten bridge! My room was so quiet and very clean! and I joined the local community Tai Chi group in the park on Chrystie st every morning at 7:00 am.Food in Chinatown was incredible too!

Great price, great location, great stay.
Pros:

It's in my preferred location in NYC so that was a win from the start. The room was spacious and clean, definitely bigger than other rooms at more expensive hotels in a similar location. I was there for 2 nights and it was perfect for that length of time and for what I was planning to do in the city. The staff, especially the man who checked us in, was exceptional. I usually stay elsewhere on the LES but will happily stay at the Leon again any time.

Vu le prix Je m'attendais à mieux !
Cons:

Nous étions 5 amies.
Quand nous sommes arrivées , le canapé lit n'était pas ouvert, pas préparé. On a demandé à la réception. Ensuite la femme de chambre est monté et nous a dit que les draps étaient l'armoire et elle est partie (:
Dans la salle de bain il n 'y avait que 4 essuis....
