Star classification is not documented, but the hotel holds a 3.9 rating from 107 reviews, suggesting a generally positive guest experience. While a formal amenities list is not documented, guest feedback indicates the property offers complimentary parking and breakfast, along with a service-focused front desk staff. Rooms have been described by some guests as comfortable, clean, and well-equipped with a functional shower and bed, though other reviewers have raised concerns about lingering smoke odors in certain rooms. The hotel sits several kilometers from the borough's own attractions, including the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden, and is also a subway or drive away from Manhattan landmarks such as Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Times Square. Its Bronx setting makes it best suited to travelers who don't mind commuting into Manhattan for sightseeing in exchange for a different price point and neighborhood feel.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious travelers and road-trippers who value complimentary parking and breakfast over an in-Manhattan address. It's also a reasonable option for visitors planning to spend a day at the Bronx Zoo or New York Botanical Garden, both under 6km away, before venturing into Manhattan for museums and landmarks.
Travel tips
Given the hotel's Bronx location, plan on a subway ride or short drive to reach Manhattan attractions like Times Square (about 8.9km away) and the Museum of Modern Art (about 8.1km away), rather than walking. Take advantage of the complimentary parking mentioned by past guests if arriving by car, and consider requesting a room away from higher-traffic floors given some reports of lingering odors in certain rooms. The Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden, both under 6km away, are more convenient day-trip options directly from the hotel.
What guests say
Guest feedback frequently praises the hotel's value, citing a favorable balance of price, location, and service, along with friendly staff and complimentary extras like parking and breakfast. Several reviewers describe rooms as clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with positive mentions of the bedding and shower. However, a recurring negative theme involves room cleanliness and odor, with some guests reporting stickiness and lingering cigarette or marijuana smells. Overall sentiment leans positive, but experiences appear to vary noticeably by room.
