11:31 … you are talking out of your hairy ass.
Have you looked at the Novo/Crest/others at all?!
Most are studio & 1BR’s … not “family” apartments (2BR+).
Who knows about Le Bleu but most of the new condos on 4th Ave will have young single people or newly-married-no-kids couples in them.
I dropped by hotel le blue a few weeks ago to take a closer look and the location is only the start of their problems. The construction is pretty shoddy and the staff were unhelpful and not at all welcoming.
Here’s a little tip if the management is listening. Some shrubbery outside the lobby to hide the disgusting noise and view of 4th avenue would go a long way in making the lobby more welcoming.
My parents are nudist swingers. They LOVED LeBleu!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you can’t beat a hotel that’s in walking distance of a Pep Boys
I disagree the restaurant will be enough. If the Novo were going to be hip rentals for young people, then the Novo would populate the bar at the hotel with cool people. But it’s going to be stroller moms and dads who eat at home, living at the Novo and the other condos being built on 4th Ave. Any hotel there should have been built to appeal to the parents of these people.
The hotel location is too unappealing for tourists, and that Park Slope despite the amenities it has is not thrilling enough for people flying across the ocean to visit the Big Apple. They want Manhattan for paying more than $250 a night. They’ll take Brooklyn if the price is cheaper. Grandparents would pay more to stay near their families but this hotel wasn’t built for them. My parents would hate a see-through shower stall. And couldn’t tolerate noise through the thin walls, as described on Trip Advisor by guests who have stayed there.
This place’s only shot at being a “hip” place to stay is with its bar/lounge/restaurant – which isnt open yet.
If the rooftop Bar/restaurant is GREAT then it might work – if not – $200 a night is the maximum this location will bring for a long while.
Hotels (everywhere) all constantly adjust prices (just as airline seats) to accomodate demand and be competitive.
No hotel sets a ‘official rate’ and holds to it (sometimes known as ‘rack rate’).
That is why some people claimed that paid such and such for boutique Soho hotel and so why stay at LeBleu. That hotel was also adjusting its rates for the demand for that day – but on other days no way could get that deal.
winter = low season. most nyc hotels lower their rates in the winter.
but this IS a p.o.s. hotel..
damn thats an awesome price.
when are they going for rent?
