U.S. Pacific Hotel

Twenty rooms above Bowery's Chinatown-Little Italy seam, U.S. Pacific Hotel occupies a walk-up at 106 Bowery, a block from Canal Street's jewelry and electronics stalls and a five-minute walk to the Manhattan Bridge on-ramp.

Rooms run compact and simply furnished, no elevator, shared or private bath depending on category — a fit for budget-minded travelers who want subway access over amenities. The B/D and J/Z lines sit two blocks off, reaching Midtown in under twenty minutes.

Nolita's cafes and Little Italy's restaurant row both start within four blocks of the front door.
