We stayed for week and couldn’t ask for a more hospitable stay than we had. All the staff were amazing and helpful through out the entire stay. We saw in previous reviews people said it was loud… we are in NYC anywhere would be. However we did not think it was noisy at all considering we are in the city. Highly suggest the location and hotel to anyone.

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.
