Nice hotel close to a nearby wedding. Rooms small- but expected for price. Heat didn’t work at first, but hotel fixed it. Was annoyed facility fee that wasn’t disclosed on Expedia when I booked. Otherwise, was satisfied and would stay again

They charge you a fee for amenities after you book it. Be ready to pay an additional $45/night when you’re comparing costs. That should be included up front

What a great hotel. Has so much character and it was so quiet and I felt very safe as a solo traveler. The room was a perfect cozy size for one person, I had a great view and it was very clean. I can't recommend this hotel enough. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the city.

This hotel definitely had some charm and all the employees were extremely helpful friendly. The room itself was very tiny and dim. With the lights up all the way I still felt like I couldn't see well in the room.

Very nice boutique hotel in a good area that is walkable. There are two bars/clubs at the bar but staying at the hotel doesn't give you any perks to go into them or discounts but good to go and visit them out.

Very NYC-esque. Chic and dark.
Our room had no heat. No glasses. No coffeemaker. The sent someone with a blanket and 4 paper cups. The vibe was chic and NYC-esque (dark and small) it was artistically decorated.

Nice design & location, but request a high floor
We stayed at the Feeehand for one night while in the city for a show. We were pleased when the hotel was able to check us in as soon as we arrived at 9am. Unfortunately, the room they gave us was on the third floor. We didn't realize this was an issue until that night when the room was vibrating and we could hear the thumping music and bass from the bar/club below. The music lasted until after 3am, which made for a very unrestful night. Overall the hotel design is nice and location is good. If you stay, I'd insist on a room on a higher floor to avoid the misfortune we had. Was definitely not worth the price for a sleepless night.
