Livingston Library

I was so glad to find a boutique hotel in lower Manhattan. Lobby has nice cafe with friendly staff. Balcony king corner room was clean but small for the price. Water, coffee, and tea were the amenities. Problem is paper thin walls. We could hear every word said next door. We were awakened two of the three nights there by loud singing after midnight, and howling laughter and screaming another night. After no response from the security at front desk, only a recording of classical guitar-we gave up. The third night security answered our call after another extended classical guitar recording. They apologized and sent someone up to tell our neighbors to quiet down. This was at 2:15 am. So, I will not stay here again.

The room is very clean and tidy. It is a two double bed room and spacious compared the ones in New York. Just less than 5 minutes from the closest subway but the nearby environment noisy.
