Top Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

101 HOTEL Manhattan New York City

8/10 Good

"Helpful staff, dated property but things work as they should and it was fine. Kind of a step up from a hostel but I felt fine staying here with our 13 old in a room with a private bath. That was it though - a bed, locking door, dirty window and a bathroom. It worked and I would stay again if budget, quick and available are the goals."

Sela V Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, great food, great atmosphere all around. Very cool hotel that has a musicians touch to it. Would definitely book again if I'm in town next time."

PUBLIC, an Ian Schrager hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in a fantastic location! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We really enjoyed our three-night stay at PUBLIC. The hotel has a great atmosphere, with stylish interiors, a lively feel and a fantastic location for exploring New York. We booked a double room with twin beds, which worked really well for two people travelling together. The room was modern, cleverly designed and made excellent use of the space. The location is a huge plus, with plenty of restaurants, cafés and shops within walking distance, and easy access to the subway. Overall, a really enjoyable stay and a great base for a few days in NYC. Would happily stay again!"
