Sitting in the lobby the best old time New York City feeling! This hotel is old. Older heating and plumbing in rooms but very good service in the case of disrepair, etc!

"Clean, good location, no microwave, beds are hard."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the EH. The room was clean and we loved the shower/water pressure! We were disappointed that there wasn't a microwave in the room or even onsite to heat up leftovers and the beds are hard. I appreciated the staff being responsive to bring us ice when requested and the free bottled water (1 pp/pd). The roof top bar was nice and the location is great.
