Beach Hotels in New York

I have stayed in NYC countless times and the thing that has been consistent is that the rooms are small and the technology/facilities are antiquated. This hotel was very modern and the room was huge for NYC standards. I will be staying here on all future NYC trips.

I really like the location, the view from the room is great, looking directly at the Williamsburg Bridge. In the Internet celebrity hotel, the swimming pool is small but there are many people. Although most of them are handsome men and beautiful women, there are still too many people, so I just looked at it from the balcony. . . Overall satisfaction!

We stayed here for a 6 night family vacation. Check in was quick and practical. All staff in this hotel were very friendly - extra kudos to the people working the breakfast area! We were upgraded to a bigger family room than we booked, with a queen beds, a separate sitting area with TV and a separate kitchen - on the 12th floor. Very spacious accommodation. Everything was clean, although you can see these rooms get used a lot. Plenty of power outlets to charge your devices, decent WiFi. The only thing we missed is more facilities to dry your towels, we had to hang them all over the apartment to dry. Breakfast was a bit basic with a lot of prepackaged stuff and no bacon for the entire week we were staying there (not that we really missed it, but it's strange nonetheless). I also wonder who ever eats scrambled egg whites? But that might be us :-) Excellent location in lower Manhattan with metro and plenty of shops close by. The entrance of the hotel is in Maiden Ln, not on Broadway however. Walking distance to Brooklyn Bridge, WallStreet, Battery Park, 9-11 memorial.

Location is OK, next to Soho shopping street is very convenient, also very close to the subway station. The entrance is very beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. I live in an ordinary double room, not a luxury room, so the bathroom is not the type that can take pictures in the bathtub. The bathroom is very small and relatively hygienic. The hue of the room is blue and it looks very nice. Suitable for couples.

We just completed a quick one-night stay for a concert at Pier 17's rooftop stage (Blondie - Deborah Harry can still rock the house at age 77!). We arrived via ferry from the Highlands in NJ (excellent way to travel, the views are amazing.) The hotel is less than a 5-minute walk from the terminal. Using the chat feature on the Bonvoy app, I requested an upgrade to a riverview room from the standard room on points I booked and an earlier check-in (1:30 PM). They immediately updated my room type on the app and there were no issues checking in early. We had a nice view of the East River. The room was your typical small NYC size, but very functional. Everything was spotless, with plenty of towels, etc. in the bathroom. There were 4 small bottles of water in the mini fridge, which was a nice touch. We took the $20 food and beverage credit as my Titanum welcome gift, in lieu of the 500 points, thinking we would have breakfast at the hotel. That was the only miss-step we had - the breakfast was overpriced at $25 per person. There was a small buffet (oatmeal, scones, croissants, meats and cheeses, bread, fruit, and glasses half-filled with vogurt - with most of it practically empty) and you could get one egg dish cooked to order. The eggs came with nothing else on the plate. They discounted the buffet to $20 each for my status and then we got the additional $20 off - so the bill was $20. If we stay there again, I'll probably use the $20 in the market and eat breakfast elsewhere. All in all, we found it highly convenient for what we were in town to do. I would definitely stay there again if going to a show at Pier 17 and/or arriving by ferry.

My room had a nice view. I originally booked it for four nights, but I couldn't check in due to something unexpected. I applied for a refund and the hotel agreed. But one thing that made me very angry at the time was that the staff didn't lock the door for me after house keeping was completed. I went out at noon and came back at three o'clock in the morning. There was no theft or anything like that. The ice machine was right at the door of my room. There are so many people coming and going that it makes me scared just thinking about it!

Room was clean but water machine and went working and the blinds on windows were broken as the handle to close them was missing. Also the amenities changed and they’re not as good as previously no razor or toothbrush in room unlike the Conrad in London

Despite having prepaid for my stay the hotel billed me each day! Advised their representative at the front desk who advised that it was their error and it would be corrected. A week later and no correction!!

Room wasn’t always cleaned, sometimes everything was just brushed under here and there to hide it away. Had to call to request the room to be cleaned every other day. Extremely slow lift and at peak times you would have to wait at least 10-20 mins. Staff was good, location great.

The first thing I will mention is that the hotel is 5 star and is expectedly, very expensive, being in the heart of Times Square. I took this into account when writing my review. If I am paying that much, my expectations would be higher than normal. I stayed for 12 nights over the Christmas and NY period so I obtained a very comprehensive view of the hotel and everything about it. Overall it was a very comfortable stay and the staff were always there to attend to any requests and issues. The moment I got out of my transfer car, there was a lovely young gentleman waiting to get all my bags and transport me upstairs to the reception. The check-in was reasonably flawless but there was a bit of confusion around the payment because of resort fees the hotel charges daily. I prepaid my booking and there was confusion over whether it included or excluded the resort fee. The reception area is immaculately presented and the bar and restaurant are both located here. I intended to use the gym during my stay, but didn't have time to even take a peek. Nor did I visit the bar or restaurant. There's way too many options outside to do that. The very polite and courteous young gentleman then took me up to my room. He showed me everything and away he went. I got a bit of a room upgrade which I highly appreciated and had a beautiful view of Times Square. I was on the 2nd highest floor, floor 39. The room is not big. It was adequate for one person but nothing more. I don't think I would be able to stay here if I was with another person. It would be too uncomfortable and I had to find space for my 2 suitcases and carry-on. The bathroom is open plan, with a door for the shower and toilet. A big problem I had in my room was that if it was windy you will hear a loud whistle coming through the bottom of the front door. It really annoyed me. I had to take the cover off the bed and make a snake shape to block the gap underneath the door to stop the noise. Even a bath towel didn't work. They need to fix this. The hotel is very new and the rooms are very beautifully equipped, presented and maintained. I was pleased to see that most of the things I requested before I arrived (some extra bath mats, bath towels, hand towels, face towels, mini fridge, bathroom scale) were mostly there upon arrival. I quantified the number of towels I needed as I was not getting any housekeeping during my 12 night stay but I did not get the quantity requested. I expected a bit more attention to detail for a 5 star hotel. Before I arrived I was asked if I was celebrating a special occasion and Guest Services pushed up my expectations as I was celebrating a special occassion and they said something nice, I assume maybe a cake or some alcohol would be waiting for me in the room. When I arrived there was nothing. And there was never going to be anything throughout my stay. I didn't mind and only remembered towards the end of the stay. When I enquired via email I was met with silence. They
