Vacations Close To Governors Island

.

I wouldn't stay anywhere else in New York! The location is perfect since I can easily walk to the theater, but don't have to stay in Times Square. (Love the theater; don't love navigating Times Square.) On this trip, special shoutout to Stacy, who greeted me and my daughter so cordially when we arrived late Sunday evening (Oct. 11th) and then the next day helped us with a logistical problem. Can't wait to visit again.

Good

The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is undergoing renovation and we had one of the rooms yet to be updated but it was still great. The location is fantastic, just a minute walk from 72nd Street station at the 1, 2 and 3 trains which give great access to the rest of the city.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The doormen were quick and attentive, the cleaning staff were friendly and quick, the cocktail hour was a cute touch, and the front desk staff were so helpful - I even received an upgrade to a larger room facing Park Avenue upon request, which made our anniversary trip all the more special. The renovation is lovely - very modern - and the location is central (almost to central) to the bustle of the city, but honestly, who visits to NYC to only avoid one of its most identifying characteristics. This is a true boutique hotel - it’s small and intimate by design - but I definitely felt like I got a solid NYC experience. Would stay again. :)

Great breakfast!
