Best for

Best suited to travelers who want an “authentic” Staten Island stay with harbor views in a small, historic-neighborhood setting rather than a full-service hotel experience. It’s a good fit for value-focused visitors who prioritize included continental breakfast, free WiFi, and easy access to the Staten Island Ferry for day trips to Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Travel tips

Plan your city days around the Staten Island Ferry (about 2.2 miles away); reviews also note a nearby bus stop that connects to the ferry terminal. Confirm whether your room has a private bathroom, since some accommodations use shared baths, and pack light if possible as stairs to upper-floor rooms are part of the experience. If you’re visiting major sights, the Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial & Museum, and Brooklyn Bridge are all within about 8–12 km, while Midtown landmarks like Times Square and Grand Central are farther (about 17 km).
