Top Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Moxy NYC Lower East Side

10/10 Excellent

"Booked a long weekend trip with my girls, and we enjoyed this hotel a lot! It's a convenient location with lots of shopping, food, and a subway station nearby. You're able to drop off luggage early, and you can leave it there during the day before your departure, which was super clutch. The only flaw is that they don't have a mini fridge in the room, but it isn't a deal breaker. Super lovely staff and doormen!! 5/5 place :)"

ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"Great location…Clean, great bar…"

Moxy NYC East Village

8/10 Good

"Great location. Lots of lounge and hangout space."

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the stay! Everyone was very nice and helpful. Room's were extremely clean and comfortable!"

West Village Eurohostel

10/10 Excellent

"Affordable and very close to a metro station. The staff was very helpful and the place was very well maintained and clean. It comes with a laundry room and although it has communal bathrooms, it was very clean and posed no issue. The rooms were certainly small with no room for a chair and the only place to sit down was on the bed which is not very wide. It had a TV and only downside for me as there was no ice machine. I will definitely stay here again when in NYC and comfortable and felt very safe."

Club Quarters Hotel World Trade Center, New York

8/10 Good

"I had a fantastic time up there, it was well center and pretty close to everything around the area, a great bargain for your buck especially around that area when most hotel were going for $500 a night, close to the memorial site for 9/11, the bed was super comfortable, the room was spacious, clean and smelled good, the gym was well equipped and functioning, the coffee machine in the lobby was amazing, and the views outside the one40 restaurant were incredible, the staffs were friendly and willingly to help, especially Arden, she really went above and beyond to help make sure we were comfortable and provide all the necessary information that we needed, and Solomon as well, I will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone visiting Manhattan New York."

Lotte New York Palace

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here several times before and we loved it just as much! The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and the bars are unmatched. The location is wonderful for getting to restaurants or sight seeing. We will absolutely stay here again!"
