Guests who’ve stayed at 4th Avenue’s pricey Hotel Le Bleu during its first month of operation have started posting about their experiences on Trip Advisor, and their ratings, as Pardon Me For Asking notes, are all over the map. The three reviews on the travel site give the hotel a 3, 4 and 5 (with 5 being the highest possible rating). One guest was totally blown away. The hotel is 15 minutes by R train from Wall St., and the rooms were every bit as visually pleasing and clean as a W. Another, however, was a little less satisfied: I think it is trying to be super hip and urban chic, too much in my opinion…the staff at check-in was a disaster. They are very far from being as polished as the hotel would like to bill itself. Still, not a bad batch of reviews for a property that some have dubbed Hotel Le Doom. Le Bleu’s website currently shows rates starting at $270 a night.

At Long Last, Hotel Le Bleu Opens [Brownstoner]
My biggest complaint is the (ugly) parking lot up front. The hotel gives nothing to the neighborhood aesthetically. Besides, if the taxi depot and health center are torn down they will be replaced by large condos facing the avenue. That will leave LeBleu oddly recessed and the shadows.
The location:
It’s a 3 minute walk to Blue Ribbon Sushi on 5th Avenue, Pacific Standard Bar, and about 100 other shops, restaurants in the neighborhood…many new ones opening every month, in fact.
People who just write this off becuase it’s on 4th avenue haven’t been to 4th avenue in the last 2 years.
It’s that simple.
10:48 … oh lookie here … 3 reviews from 3 people OUTSIDE of NYC who left “chipper” reviews:

Goodness, so far 100% of the reviews on TripAdvisor are positive.
hmm, 10:48 masking bitterness as “I’m just protecting the tourists” … strange, very strange. Who’s the blind one?
I welcome all new condo owners (Novo, Crest, etc.) to the ‘hood! Ignore the haters.

@10:48: Well, considering that the reviews of the hotel range ‘all over the place’ from a 3 to a 5 (out of 5), the actual guests are apparently not so annoyed about the surroundings.
The taxi-depot / bodyshop posts are as clueless as they are predictable.
In fact, yes, clearly people are paying hundreds a night to stay near a taxi depot, etc., and hundreds of thousands to own condos near them, and people are going to restaurants and bars near them–and all of that means, eventually, the taxi depots and bodyshops are going to be gone. It may not be Park Avenue, but it’ll be a retail and residential strip.
I don’t get why that upsets people so much. Relax, you can drive another avenue down to get your flat tire fixed.
I’m pretty indifferent to this hotel, other than to laugh a little every time I pass by and read the name. There’s something utterly ridiculous about a Hotel Le Bleu — at any location, but especially where it actually is.
Hey ‘Mr Nipped’,
Let me ask you a question: If you booked this hotel from out of town, at these prices, and arrived to find the wonderful surroundings of 4th ave would you be so chipper? Honestly, this photo says it all. I’m all for the development of 4th ave. It’s a pit,(great place to find good prices on tires) but please don’t be so agressively blind.
So 10:32 – who are they looking out for; refurbished tire salesmen?
I wish Le Blue had the parking in the back, I wish that Le BLue and the other developers push for more streetscaping and I hope that the bar restaurant is great
but overall its certainly a net positive over what was there (plumbing supply warehouse) and anyone who hopes for its failure is probably just practicing Schadenfreude, wrapped up in fake nostaglia and phoney ‘keeping it real’
I’m also very happy to see this in the neighborhood.
My parents are going to stay there when they come in January.
I really can’t understand people who talk negatively about things they either don’t know anything about, or simply just to do for fun, it would seem.
Would those that hate it RATHER have an abandoned lot?
I don’t get it. What’s it to you if someone opens a hotel?
