10/10 Exceptional
King-sized bed with mini kitchen
Pros: Seamless, contactless service, very clear check-in instructions, key pad to enter facility and room (you dont need a card to scan), very functional elevator, lots of space to walk around and store luggage, very modern interior design that is simple yet stylish, mini kitchen has all the kitchen supplies you can ask for, malin+goetz shampoo/conditioner/hand soap/body lotion were great, very nice hair dryer, large body mirror, closet with ironing table/iron, luggage rack, provided laundry detergent pods with free laundry room (greatest convenience), TV cast system from smartphone, nice couch bed to lounge on next to the window, A/C and heat system is decent, bed was super comfortable with 4 pillows already provided, shower has hot water (make sure to let the water run for a few minutes to get warmer), extra toilet paper and trash bags were provided, 3 minute walk to Delancey-Essex station, walkable distance to hot spots in the area, everytime i enter the lobby, im greeted by a nice scent
Cons: wifi was bad (super slow), i had to use my own data for internet, water pressure for shower was weak, outside patio is tiny, i was on the 5th floor and could still hear car honks here and there but still tolerable (but what's nyc without the car honks), walls were thin (i woke up to someone else's alarm from across the floor lol)
(If you want extra towels and such, you can request them ahead of time or you can acquire from the closet)
Overall, I will book Kasa Lantern LES again whenever I come back for a visit (i hope the wifi will be better by then).
