Hotel Le Bleu Reviews Trickle In [Brownstoner]
This place is 5-10 years too early. 4th ave does seem to be VERY gradually changing, and when I say gradually, I mean about 3 new places. the place just off of atlantic the mexican joint, that bar down the way, the bagel place, and that’s about it.
You can get away with a ritzy veneer and little substance if the location is hot hot hot, and it’s just not there yet, and may never be.
One thing is for sure, this place is going down. It will never make it.
1:48 works at the 99 dollar a night holiday inn around the corner and his job is janitor/troll on brownstoner.
i can’t wait to hit the dance floor at the club.
This is an instance of bronwstone readers just wanting to bitch about something.
The hotel will do just fine. 300 a night, 200 a night, or 150 a night.
Life will continue on and the hotel will continue to provide guests with a roof over their heads for the night.
Hey 12:55, you actually proved my point by finally reading the reviews. Nobody pays $365 a night for a bad location. Nobody.
“You bet I want this hotel to fail. Why? Because it’s developers stole my views of the Manhattan skyline, at what cost to the value of my home I shudder to think. Yes, I hope it fails. I hope it rots from disuse and crumbles into the earth. And that’s not smugness; that’s bitterness.”
That’s interesting. The only thing across from this is low rise building, so not sure it could have negatively impacted your already illustrous Manhattan views.
I think you’re probably bitter because you live on 4th Avenue…nothing to do with the views, bud.
January 09: Low income housing.
This asinine project is a total failure walking.
Do they make chicken cordon blu?
Maybe they should call the Jehovah’s Witnesses. I hear they’re divesting Brooklyn Heights. Maybe it’s time to move on.
