ok i found the post where the Sixty LES got posted. this was back in 2010. guess there's not much intel on the Lower East Side area of NYC haha. Seems like the Sixty LES or Rivington are pretty much the only 4-star hotels in the area so if i end up with either one of them, then I'll be happy.
Here is the link for the reproted 4 star Lower East Side thread.
Thank you!
