Hotel Azure

The first thing you need to know going in is that the rooms are small, even by NYC standards. If you're not from NYC or not used to staying there, you'd call them tiny. The fire exit map on the door did show that some of the rooms were a little larger than ours, but all are small. If you're using your room as a place to sleep and rest between meals or sightseeing, it's perfect. With that out of the way, the hotel was wonderful. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly - even giving us quick subway directions when we were in a rush. The room was immaculate. Even with such a tight space, everything was there - super comfortable queen-size bed, wall-mounted flat-screen, desk, closet with iron and desktop ironing board. Did you have to shimmy beside the bed to get to the pocket door into the bathroom? Yes, but it was modern and very clean with all glass tile, a rain shower-head and glass shower doors to give the feeling of more space. As for location, it couldn't be more convenient. The Canal Street stop is right there on the corner. You can feel the subway slightly when it runs under the hotel, but it doesn't rattle anything and didn't wake me (a very light sleeper) up. It's a quick comfortable walk to Soho, Little Italy or Chinatown, and is convenient to City Hall and the Brooklyn Bridge. My fiance and I got a great deal, had a fantastic stay, and would definitely stay there again.
