Best for
This hotel can suit travelers who want a Bronx base near the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden, with straightforward access to major Manhattan sights without staying in Midtown. It may also appeal to guests who value basics like breakfast, a small workout room, and access to printing, but are flexible about room size and potential noise.
Travel tips
Reviews reference Simpson St (2/5 trains) as a nearby subway option; if you’re arriving late, consider using a rideshare or taxi for the last leg, as multiple guests describe the walk and area as poorly lit and uncomfortable at night. If you are sensitive to noise, ask in advance about room placement, as some guests report significant noise when rooms are near the subway tracks. For breakfast, consider arriving early, as some guests report food running out well before the posted end time.
