Historic hotel with modern amenities

Beautiful historic building with upgraded amenities and a lovely atmosphere. Elevator is a bit old, but otherwise this was a perfect stay in a very convenient location and I will definitely be back! The room along the back of the building facing the alleys was very quiet despite it being a loud area.

The best New York hotel

This is the second time we stayed at the historic blue Hotel! I grew up four blocks from the hotel so this is a coming home experience. The hotel is awesome. It’s the only place to stay in New York!

love the blue moon

LOVED how every single person we spoke with was totally committed to our comfort. There were a couple of technical issues (the fridge was leaking) and they fixed it immediately. They checked on but were not overbearing. They were incredibly friendly but not overbearing. The room was lovely and I would 100% stay there again.

Title: Disappointing Stay at Blue Moon Hotel - NYC. Quick runaway don’t stay here. "We were incredibly excited to stay at the Blue Moon Hotel on Orchard Street for my birthday weekend, having admired its history and location for years. However, our experience was severely disappointing. We initially booked through a third party but had to contact the hotel directly to upgrade to a junior suite with a king bed and a twin bed for our daughter. The hotel quoted us an extra $XXXper night. Upon arrival, we discovered that the "twin bed" was actually a chair that was supposed to convert into a bed. Not only was it not set up, but there was no bedding provided. As our daughter ended up not staying with us, we requested to be moved back to the original room we booked. The weekend staff was unhelpful and referred us to the manager, who was unavailable until Sunday at 11 am. When we finally spoke with the manager, they were incredibly rude and refused to refund the $60 upgrade fee or offer any compromise. Beyond this, the accommodations themselves were underwhelming. We were constantly disturbed by the sound of doves cooing outside the window, and the noise from the street traffic was significant. Moreover, it took an excruciatingly long time to heat the water for a shower. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend staying at the Blue Moon Hotel. The lack of customer service, coupled with the subpar accommodations, made our stay significantly less enjoyable than we had anticipated."

The beds were very comfy but that was it! The place appeared empty (and the doors were locked and no one at the front desk at 12:00 noon on a Saturday! A guy finally appeared and mumbled about the check in. We left our bags because it was before check in. We returned at 11:00 pm and the guy who showed up ALSO couldn’t have cared less we were there. The place was desolate - we never saw any other guests. The cases in the windows held a sad assortment of cookies that looked like they’d seen their better days.

The first thing I was greeted with was getting maced and an employee of the hotel knocking out a protestor (who were contending the hotel owners son was a war criminal). I’m not kidding. The hotel has a large step and if you’re handicapped they will offer to lift you up, but it’s not exactly handicap accessible. I reasonably contended that this wasn’t the place for my 71 year old crippled mom who has cancer, yet couldn’t get my money back. Eventually Expedia would only get half of my money back as I booked 2 rooms. Paid for a room, never stayed. Never give these people your money.
