Hotel 309

Hotel 309 occupies a multi-storey property on West 14th Street, in the Meatpacking District area bordering Chelsea and the Village. It presents itself as a limited-service base for travellers who value an in-room kitchenette, refrigerator and microwave, with the option of preparing a light breakfast or storing food. It is not in the centre of Greenwich Village, but the walk towards Washington Square and nearby subway stops make it a possible base on the neighbourhood’s edge.

Room type matters more than the word “budget”: some rooms have private bathrooms, while the least expensive category shares a bathroom, and Wi-Fi costs extra. Reviews particularly value the location, but describe uneven experiences with cleanliness, comfort and maintenance. Booking.com showed 6.8 out of 10 from 1,815 reviews, with 9.2 out of 10 for location at the time checked; read recent comments about the specific room and confirm what your booking includes. The hotel lists a 24-hour staff presence, check-in from 3 p.m. and check-out by noon.

The address is 309 West 14th Street, near the A, C, E and L lines and 14th Street–Eighth Avenue station. Walk east towards the Village along commercial streets; Chelsea and the High Line are to the north. A hotel listing showed a three-star classification and a guest score of 3.5 out of 5 from 651 reviews, a separate measure from Booking.com’s rating. It may suit travellers who value location and self-catering over finishes or a private bathroom, but it is not an automatic choice for anyone seeking consistent standards: compare the full cost and confirm the room type and charges in writing before booking.
