Arlo Nomad

I stayed here one night in early January. Some pluses, but one huge, relentlessly noisy minus. It’s well located. Very cool lobby. Rooms are utterly tiny (I wouldn’t stay here unless traveling solo) but well designed and very clean. I checked in late in the evening and let the woman checking me in know that it was my first night away from a newborn baby and that i would appreciate the quietest room they had (i know they weren’t full bc were advertising rooms on all sorts of sites). She acted very eager to help me get a quiet room and then...she put me in a room across from a massive, block-wide construction site. The construction was still going at 1 in the morning. It was going again when i got up at 6:30. Pretty lousy. Didn’t make me want to come back to this otherwise convenient, serviceable hotel.

My room was adorable with a rain shower to die for, Loved the fragrance of the soaps and cream, and having access to NY!, since I'm a native New Yorker. The location was the best, half a block away from all of the Madison Avenue buses, and a 24 hour upscale deli on the corner, The staff were all amazing! Special thanks to Angie Ramos, and Windsor, who made me feel like family.

Arlo NoMad is an excellent value-priced Midtown Manhattan Hotel. The team at Arlo proves that small rooms don't have to be uncomfortable and that superior service can be obtained without paying high rates. From the check-in to departure I was extremely impressed with Arlo. Some items to note: 1. Walking distance from Penn Station. And an easy walk to many subway lines and NYC landmarks. 2. The rooms are small, but the space utilization is ingenious so the rooms punch way above their weight. Design does make everything better. I have to give a shout out to Paola who checked me in, and made me feel at home. She exemplified the excellent service I experience at each point of contact. There's a reception each afternoon with complementary beverages. Also check out the views from the rooftop deck! The only criticism I have, and it's tiny, is that the elevators are slow. I should say no slower than any other Midtown hotel, but no faster. Arlo NoMad is a great little hotel. Hip without being alienating. Attention to detail and pride in service. I don't hesitate to recommend this wonderful property, and I'd be willing to stay again. Thanks Paola, nice Lithuanian guy and team.
