FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON MANHATTAN SOHO VILLAGE, New York

The location places you in a business district that becomes quiet after hours, ideal for sleeping but with fewer open late-night spots in the immediate vicinity. The 1 train (red line) at Houston Street and the A/C/E trains (blue line) at Spring Street are both within a 2-minute walk, offering direct routes to Penn Station, Midtown, and the airport. Chinatown and Little Italy are walkable, as is the Hudson River Greenway for running or cycling. For driving, the Holland Tunnel is less than 2 km away, though parking is off-site and paid. The area is safe and central for exploring lower Manhattan on foot.

Room sizes are generally compact, typical for Manhattan, though the top-floor suites and corner rooms feel more spacious. King-bed rooms have a shower only, while double-queen rooms include a tub. Rooms on lower floors or facing the road can experience considerable street noise from sirens and traffic; higher-floor rooms and those at the back are quieter. The decor is dated with dark carpeting that may show wear, and the bathrooms are small, with limited vanity space. The air conditioning works well, and the beds are consistently noted as comfortable. Blackout curtains are effective, and the rooms are kept clean. Some rooms have windows that may not close fully, letting in cold air or noise.

Breakfast is a-la-carte from 6:30-11:30 AM daily, priced at $30 per person. Complimentary coffee and tea are available in the lobby until 11:00 AM. With the restaurant closed, there are no hot meal options on-site. The area offers a wide variety of dining within a short walk-such as Italian at Piccola Cucina Osteria (0.5 km), pizza at Little Italy Pizzeria (0.5 km), and coffee at Gregorys Coffee or La Colombe (both 0.5 km). A Trader Joe's is nearby for groceries and snacks. The complimentary Wednesday evening wine reception provides a social opportunity.

The fitness centre includes cardio and strength equipment and is rarely crowded. There is no pool, spa, or wellness centre. The hotel can arrange various off-site activities such as walking tours, biking, and evening entertainment for an additional charge. The nearby Hudson River Greenway provides an excellent outdoor running and cycling route.

Reception staff is noted for being friendly and helpful, and the check-in process is smooth except when the software system is down, requiring manual paperwork. Daily housekeeping is included. Laundry is outsourced and operates Monday-Friday with a $30 minimum. Luggage storage is available only on the day of check-in - overnight storage is not an option. There is no airport shuttle. The hotel provides accessible parking and has one electric vehicle charging station. Safety features include key card access, CCTV, and an in-room safe. A microwave is available on the C level. The lobby is small with seating.
