Great but Lack good knowledge of restaurants locally
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The bar staff. Every time I stay here I get a bar person who I would not say is very friendly. To the point I wonder if I should stay here. She lacks Personality and friendliness. I always wonder why is she in hospitality

We had an excellent stay at the Ludlow and I would highly recommend it.
Pros:

The location is in a hip, convenient eclectic neighborhood with dozens of restaurants in all price ranges within blocks. The hotel's lobby is vibrant, tastefully decorated and elegant. So inviting that there are people sitting in it at all hours of the day and night enjoying drinks and small bites. There is a very attractive restaurant right off the lobby but we did not eat there. We loved our Skybox suite. It is perfect for two people who want a little more room than just the bedroom. We will definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Nothing

Tasteful rooms, great Team and lively neighborhood
Pros:

We had a fantastic time at The Ludlow! From the very moment of our arrival the Team made us feel super welcomed and cared for. We liked it so much that we extended our stay twice and stayed in three different rooms - all three were tastefully designed and each one unique (...and very clean!). The neighborhood is very lively, so be prepared to jump right in the as soon as you step out of the door. With Katz Deli right across the street and other spots in close proximity - for us it was absolutely perfect. The relaxed and sweet Staff helped us out with a variety of small and bigger needs and were always swift and supportive. A big thank you to Jolyn, Brailyn, Andy, Jonathan and the rest! We can 100% recommend staying here!

Cons:

Nothing negative! Just as a heads up: the rooms on higher floors have better natural lighting
