The Bowery Hotel

At the time of writing this we’ve spent two different trips home here and both times we were equally blown away. The service, the location, the comfort - everything. Top tier! The Bowery goes above and beyond to make you feel at home away from home. Thank you to the staff that makes it happen. Centrally located to walk everywhere you may want to go!

For $400+ a night and the promise of a five star experience from this celebrity adored and respected hotel I was saddened to have a severely disappointing and unwelcoming stay from check in to check out. Front desk was aloof and cold in greetings - isssues/inconsistent reliability of being able to open my door and having trouble getting assistance with bare min needs - to the wait time/trouble to return the key every time I came and went. I can see the potential & the appeal but sadly comfort & exceptional service was far removed from my stay with multiple inconveniences & plumbing issues I lacked any enjoyment & unfortunately my stay did not speak or align at all to what the hotel boasts there service and overall experience to be.

I live in the neighborhood and was looking for a place to sit and read my book. I called ahead to ask about seating near the fireplace and was told it was open to the public after 5 PM. Within five minutes of arriving, I was approached—not to take my drink order, but to be asked, “Remind me of your room number?” When I explained that I live nearby, I was told to leave my seat in an empty section and move to another area designated for non-guests. Having worked in hospitality for four years, I know that a welcoming environment for neighborhood patrons enhances the experience for visitors—because they’re here to experience our neighborhood. If you want an authentic New York atmosphere, that is it. Disappointing.
