Here is a hotel worth checking out. It is in the Lower East side in thriving Chinatown which used to be the Jewish quarter.Clean small and functional hotel. No frills. Reasonably polite and helpful staff. Close to the F train. Great area to walk in with easy access to interesting parts of NYC.

My boyfriend and I stayed here 17th-22nd April. The hotel was easy to find and was smack bang in the middle of China Town and to the left were views of the Woolworths building and the Ground Zero Tower. It is also in walking distance of the Brooklyn Bridge, Financial District and Staten Island ferry. Our room was spacious and clean as was the bathroom. We were by the Manhattan bridge (it ran straight past our window) but the awesomeness of the view over looked the noise of it. The staff were brilliant- to the point when our card would not work when paying for the room they were so accommodating by allowing us to check in without the payment going through. They offered good tourist advice.As we only wanted the room to sleep in as we were out all day and the hotel provided exactly what we needed.

I booked Hotel 91 because of the price, but If your budget is not that tight I would recommend you to book another hotel. The room was nice and clean, the staffs were nice but not friendly. The area where the hotel is located, chinatown is a bit far away from everything, it is a dirty area and with a strong smell of food due to the restaurants near by.The nearest subway station is 3 blocks from the hotel.

We booked the hotel because it was the cheapest within a good location. The room was clean but the hotel is right under the manhattan bridge, which is loud on account of the subway. I was uncomfortable with the lack of security of which there was none. Anyone could just walk in as the lobby is on the second floor. Overall it was ok

My family of 8 stayed in 3 rooms for 5 nights in late March/early April 2013. We chose Hotel 91 because of how well it is rated on TripAdvisor. Originally we were going to stay in Jersey and suffer the commute because of cost. We were not disappointed by Hotel 91 and our expectations were exceeded. STAFF: The staff was excelptional and quite helpful. We had to change our reservation dates 3 different times and Hotel 91 kept track of it all. We also weren't charged for the changes since they were made more than 24 hours in advance. GETTING THERE: Per TripAdvisor reviews, we knew some people had trouble with their cabs getting to Hotel 91 so we printed out detailed directions from LGA. We needed 2 cabs; 1 driver knew where the hotel was and 1 did not. But between the directions from the hotel website and our GPS Map App on our phone, the 2nd cab arrived without issue. We arrived at midnight, but there is someone at the desk 24 hrs a day (2nd floor check in-remember that!). LOCATION: The hotel is 2 blocks from the East Broadway Subway stop (F line), which goes directly to Rockefeller Center and connects to all the other lines (of course). Every breakfast we went to a restaurant called 'Everest' [head out of the hotel to the left is about 5 blocks down on the left]. EXCELLENT food. You are in the middle of Chinatown, which is very authentic. There is an 'American' grocery store straight down Eldridge about 1 block which had bottled water and common sodas. Be sure to notice the grade the Sanitation Dept gives to each restaurant in the area (you'll see a big blue A, B, C, etc). Little Italy is not far either, and we had pizza delivered from Lombardi's (the FIRST pizzaria) twice. Having been to New York 3 times before, the family appreciated staying in a neighborhood that wasn't as tourist-y as others.OVERALL: Keep in mind, this is a basic hotel but it is FREE of bed bugs (a priority for us), the staff is great and helpful, and it's on Manhattan island for an unbeatable price. The carpeting is a little dated as are some lighting fixtures, etc, but there bedding was the modern style, there was a flat screen TV in the room and a hairdryer (coffee is in the 2nd floor lobby, 24 hrs a day). The bed were the most comfortable hotel bed my husband and I have slept in (we normally sleep badly in hotel beds because of our bad backs). The housekeeping was also extremely good. If we return to Manhattan, we will definitely stay here.
