Hotel on Rivington

I was worried about the recent negative reviews, but my experience was fairly good. I think there’s a systemic problem between third-party booking sites like Trip.com and the hotel where the room you get assigned is not necessarily what you wanted. In our case we paid for a Deluxe King, in part for the standing shower in the website photos. The room we were assigned had a tub, and the front desk was accommodating in switching us to the room we wanted. Room was clean, showing some wear and age, but generally well appointed (although the art is weird). Location is good around the corner from a subway stop. WiFi was alright in the room, but the 2nd floor lobby was fast and not a bad place to do some remote work.
