Verified Reviews of Life Hotel New York
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Wonderful Place!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I just loved staying here. The staff is friendly and so helpful. I felt very welcome and it felt like home. The upper floors are more rustic, as they wanted to keep them as original as possible. I stayed on the 5th floor which has been completely updated. Lovely room! I really love the people who work there. The restaurant is a 10. They have a very talented chef. I can hardly wait to come back. I miss my “friends”.

Expedia Group verifies all reviews to ensure that the customer has indeed booked on our site. To encourage customers to submit their reviews, we send an email containing a link to evaluate the hotel to which we sometimes attach a reduction or Expedia Rewards voucher to use on a future trip. We post all reviews whether they are positive or negative, to the extent that they respect our
content directives. This monitoring is automated. Any rejection is manually checked and, if maintained, notified to the reviewer by email with reasons. We do not otherwise process changes, nor reviewer contact. We de-list reviews after 4 years, other than for properties having a non-significant number of reviews.
