We stayed 9 nights at the Life Hotel and had a great stay, the staff and hotel were great. Our family had a two queen room that fit our needs very well. It is a cool vintage property that offers smaller boutique sized rooms which is what we expected based on the website and reviews. The beds were very comfortable and the room had a larger bathroom than we expected. The location was perfect as you are waking distance to some key attractions like Times Square but also close to the subway. We would stay here again.

The room was charming. The shower was clean and recently updated. Their facilities staff member was so friendly and helpful. It is New York, so it is noisy - but the windows weren’t great. Between the draft and the street noise, we kept checking to see if a window was open or broken. The shutters helped a bit. Apart from the windows, it was a pleasant stay.
