I live in NYC and work in the neighborhood the hotel is in, so I am very familiar with the area and thought it would be a fun booking. I sometimes book a weekend somewhere just to have a "staycation" - and this experience was so bad I didn't even stay the second night I booked, rather I opted to just go home. Why? Because the shower in the room had ZERO hot water and very close to zero water pressure. After taking an ice cold trickle shower Saturday night, I found the towels to be dirty as well. Absolutely gross, they smelled faintly of mildew. So I did my best to enjoy my evening, and tried to get some sleep. Which is near impossible if you're close to the ground floor facing Orchard Street. I know the area is loud, but I did expect the building to have a little bit of sound proofing because of that. So I got up early and went home to take a hot shower with fresh towels, and decided not to return even though I booked two days.
I would absolutely recommend against this booking at all costs. It would have to be the last available room in the city for me to ever consider it again - and even then I'd probably book in an outer borough first.
