My stay at The Historic Blue Moon was an incredible experience! The hotel's vibe is unique and captures the spirit of Manhattan brilliantly. The rooms are spacious and provided a comfortable retreat after busy days exploring the city. However, I did have a concerning incident with staff that was a bit unsettling. Overall, I would still recommend this boutique hotel for its charm and value.

My stay at this boutique hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were quite spacious for NYC standards, a definite plus. However, there were some issues with the staff's responsiveness and a very basic breakfast. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you're looking for space and a unique vibe, but don’t expect top-notch service.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were a very nice size for NYC, allowing for some room to spread out, which was a pleasant surprise. I appreciated having a fridge for snacks and breakfast.

Service

The service was lacking empathy at times, especially during check-in, which was slow. It was frustrating to realize later that there were cups and hot water available in the cafe.

Location

The location is excellent, with the Delancey Subway station just a short walk away. It’s very convenient for getting to popular areas and even to and from the airport.

The Blue Moon Hotel offers a unique stay in a beautifully restored tenement steeped in history, showcasing the vibrant culture of the Lower East Side. The spacious rooms are decorated with vintage charm, and the owner even shares fascinating stories about the building's past. However, some aspects of service left much to be desired, particularly during busy check-in times, which can be frustrating for guests. Overall, it's a memorable experience for those who appreciate historical charm.
