The Hudson, in New York, is a 3-and-one-half star hotel. Value-conscious travelers felt the hotel was "small for the price". Sleep connoisseurs described the bed as "comfortable" and "great". What travelers said they loved: "the stay", "the people", "the place", "the service", "the location", "the staff", and "the room". The hotel is recommended by Gayot.com (it's on their Top 10 list for Hip Hotels). The hotel is near award winning restaurants, including Jean George , Le Bernardin , and Daniel . Also nearby: Bank Street College Of Education , Roxy , and 303 . Other local places to consider are 60 Thompson and Michelangelo Hotel.

General Pricing: Well, I didn't pay for the room, but it was EXPENSIVE. In my opinion not really worth the small space you end up with. The Drinks: Too expensive and weak
