Fraudulent Smoking Charge!!!

Review of ModernHaus SoHo
1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 Sept 2024
Beware!! They charged my account an extra $544 for a smoking fee and I am NOT a smoker/vaper. They never notified me or requested authorization, I only noticed when I was reviewing my CC statement. They have smoke sensors in the rooms and sent “verification” in the form of a graph/chart detecting smoke during a specific time. I’m not sure if the detectors are legit or if housekeeping decided to take a smoke break in my room. I‘m disputing this and attempting to get the charges reversed. Very scary that they tried to sneak this by without any notification.

Hello Sean,

We are sorry to learn of your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your review. As you noted, we are a non-smoking/vaping hotel and our system did detect smoke in your room, but I would welcome the chance to discuss this matter with you further and make this right. Should you agree to talk directly, please reach out to me at the address below so we can arrange a time to talk. I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,

Had a wonderful long weekend at the hotel to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Room was very spacious with a gorgeous city view, rooftop pool is incredible, and the SoHo location can’t be beat. My wife and I are already looking forward to returning next year.

Hello Fearless,

We love celebrating with our guests, and we're glad you and your wife joined us for a birthday weekend! We're glad you had plenty of room to spread out in your accommodations and that you loved our rooftop views of the city.

We agree that our pool is unique to NYC hotels, and we're glad you took a dip! We, too, already look forward to your next stay...perhaps to celebrate the next birthday on the calendar!

Warm regards,
Kori Yoran, General Manager

Very nice location in the heart of the vibrant Soho neighborhood. Restaurant, bar and assets like view, rooftop with pool are the big +. Le Labo amenities are also appreciated.

Otherwise, everything in this hotel is pretty average and sometimes even disappointing. Our room was kinda small, the bed seemed like not even queen sized, and some details like cleanliness, services, fournitures, welcome pack didn’t meet our expectation, especially for a supposed 5 star hotel.

Also most of the staff is cold, not really experience oriented (especially the girl at the rooftop). Besides, be careful and aware that when you stay at the 17th floor, it is very noisy.

Don’t get me wrong, overall it was an OK experience and the rate was OK as well for NYC. But don’t be too picky ! Working in hospitality myself, I can assert that in Europe this hotel would rate as a 4 star.

Hello Alexandre,

Your candid review is appreciated, as we are always striving to improve any aspect of a stay that falls short of expectations. While we are glad you enjoyed our SoHo location, our Le Labo amenities in your bathroom, our rooftop pool and views, and our dining options, we are sorry to note that other aspects of your visit fell a bit flat.

You are correct to expect a warm welcome and attentive service from our team, and we apologize that this was missing from your experience. Our guests should always be wowed by a ModernHaus experience, and we know we can win your heart in full should you give us a second chance to impress. We hope to see you again one day.

Warm regards,
Kori Yoran, General Manager

This hotel has no lobby for sitting or lounging. The a/c in the bar was out so it was also not a pleasant place to relax. When we checked in we were not offered assistance up to our room. One of the two elevators that services the rooms was out of service our whole trip. This meant that we spent a significant amount of time waiting for the elevator, and when it arrived, it was often too crowded to board. We were only on the 4th floor and attempted to use the stairs but the service stairs were cluttered with cleaning supplies, high chairs, and even a ping pong table. This was not a pleasant nor safe way to come and go from our room. The room was cleaned to bare minimum standards. We noted some black mildew on the hand held shower nozzle but it was never addressed. I will not be staying at this property in the future. The only thing positive I can say is that the room was very quiet despite being on the 4th floor overlooking 6th Ave.

Hello Lauren,

We are always open to feedback and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We share your disappointment that what should have been a five-star experience across the board fell short for you. We apologize for the wait getting up to your room with only one elevator in operation at present, and while we are glad you found your room to be quiet and restful, we will pass along your review to our housekeeping team to ensure all touchpoints are addressed in the future.

We hope you found opportunity to join us for a dining experience at 23 Grand or on our rooftop at Jimmy for our sweeping views of the city, and if not, we hope we can welcome you back one day to earn your full approval.

Warm regards,
Kori Yoran, General Manager

This "luxury" hotel is a joke, especially with Kori as the so-called manager. He dodges responsibility, leaving issues unresolved and staff clueless. The pool was a disaster—loose tiles that my kids and I had to fish out, broken glass, and no lifeguards enforcing rules while drunk guests ran wild. Service was painfully slow; waited 30+ minutes for the wrong order. Rooms were dirty and not worth the $300+ price. Management is rude and dismissive, with zero effort to fix anything. Don’t waste your money here—it’s unsafe, filthy, and poorly managed.

Hello Q5532OClenam,

We are sorry your experience was not up to the ModernHaus standard. We received your original email back in May regarding your experience and attempted to reach out multiple times with no response. We could not find your name in our system either. You stated that there was no breakfast available, we do have breakfast available daily at Jumpin Jacks from 7am to 11am. You stated that the rooftop was closed during your stay, between Labor Day and Memorial Day the rooftop opens at 5pm. Only when the pool is open is the rooftop available to our guests before 5pm. If you stayed here prior to Memorial Day, the pool would not be accessible outside of the Jimmy hours – so we are unsure how your kids experienced the pool as it was closed. Regarding the staff being rude and dismissive, I truly apologize if that was the case and would like to hear more constructive feedback as to how we can improve so no guest ever has that experience.”

Warm regards,
Kori Yoran, General Manager

This is not a 5 star hotel. The location is excellent and the bar in the restaurant is great! The rooms and awful and tired. Window are filthy. Only one elevator works. Furniture throughout the property is old and tired. Stay at a true 5 star hotel if you are searching for luxury. This is a far cry from that.

Hello Suzanne,

We share your disappointment that your experience did not reflect the excellence we are known for. Our many positive reviews praise our modern and luxurious decor, and we're sorry it wasn't to your liking.

We will address the state of the windows you describe, as we agree this is unacceptable, and we appreciate your patience with our unfortunate lack of elevator function at the time of your visit.

We are glad you enjoyed our location and found our dining to be excellent, and we hope for the chance to earn your full faith in us one day.
