Top Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott New York Downtown Manhattan/Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"The room is clean and service is great"

TWA Hotel at JFK Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is absolutely adorbzz!!! It was a flash back into time for Gen X, what airports use to look like and the simplicity and enjoyment that made flying so great. The staff was amazing and the room was just the cutest ever with a rotary phone!!! I definitely recommend at least one night of stay if you are ever stranded in JFK airport terminal 5."

Hyatt Grand Central New York

10/10 Excellent

"This place was clean, rooms were comfy, and staff is great. View from the room was trash but everything else made up for it."

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown

8/10 Good

"This is a nice hotel, conveniently located in the center of the NYC financial district. There are many bars, restaurants and activities within easy walking distance (only .6 mile to the 911 Memorial), and subway stations are nearby. The hotel rooms are small and pretty basic, but they are clean and our bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The area is safe. I would stay here again."

PUBLIC, an Ian Schrager hotel

"LOVED THIS HOTEL"

Moxy NYC East Village

8/10 Good

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

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."

101 HOTEL Manhattan New York City
