The Historic Blue Moon Hotel – NYC

No place like it.

This place is a vibe. There is nothing like it. The people who run it are characters. The food is amazing. Super confortable rooms and bigger than you would expect. I was surprised to find this place. This will be my go to in NYC now.

We will be back!

The staff is amazing--friendly, helpful, and responsive. We felt as if we were guests in their home.

Great location, great boutique hotel, lovely history and detail.

Small boutique hotel, great detail, comfortable room.

What could be improved: Didn’t understand the stove in the middle of my room. No vent, small sink, no real kitchen wares so why?

We loved our stay, it was a charming hotel with a kind staff.

Very nice boutique hotel. The owner showed us his personal art on the walls and was very friendly. The young man at the front desk was super helpful and friendly as well. A train station is a couple blocks away. Plenty of great restaurants around.

What could be improved: The shower pressure was a little low but did the job, I understand it’s an old building.

Beautiful hotel, great location, would come back!

The Historic Blue Moon hotel is a beautiful building! We so appreciate the preservation and the little details that went into the space. Staff was kind and there is always someone at the front desk. Location was prime and we never fell short of finding things to do. Additionally, we were surprised at how quiet it was at night despite it being a busy street.

What could be improved: The doors do slam quite loudly so we often heard our neighbors or the housekeeping folks who went in and out. Also, not a big deal but wanting to note there is no microwave in the rooms or ice.

Beautifully restored hotel, but had negative interactions with Staff.

The hotel is decorated nicely, theme of the rooms are cute.

What could be improved: The staff made an error during check-in and assigned us to the wrong room. There were no problems until our last night when we discovered staff had entered our room without our knowledge or permission to, “check if someone who shouldn’t be there is staying there.” Our contact information was on file at the front desk, and instead of waiting for us to return to rectify the issue, staff entered our room and looked around while our belongings were not put away because we had our “Do Not Disturb” sign posted and assumed that would be honored. When we returned, they incessantly implied that we asked for/switched to a different room upon check-in. Then staff came up to our room again, asking if we had been in the room our whole stay or had just switched rooms. My husband went downstairs to investigate the issue further to which they asked again if we switched rooms - which was when we found out they went into our room while we were gone, leading us to believe they were never going to inform us of this fact. What was once a lovely trip is now soured by this invasion of privacy, something I believe is valuable to the establishment as well as the staff’s inability to accept THEY had made the mistake. Furthermore upon checkout, our car did not have space on the street to load our belongings so we asked for display signs to be moved to the sidewalk to utilize the Hotel’s “Loading/Unloading Zone” where our vehicle was approached multiple times by the Owner and Staff to say I couldn’t park there to which I repeated multiple times that I was not parking and in fact, loading luggage in the designated zone. Staff continued to rush my husband and I out of their hotel despite the fact that my husband has a visible, physical disability that requires walking assistance with a cane. It’s a shame to have missed a private tour with the Owner of the establishment but we will not be returning. Thank you.

Very Good

Funky and cool

What could be improved: The DL has loud dance music on the east side of the building till 4am on weekends
