Hotels Near Skyport Seaplane Base in New York

I have lived in NYC 20 years, and occasionally, we like to play tourist in our own city. My husband and I decided to stay a night at the Moxy LES in celebration of my 40th birthday. I even talked another couple who were celebrating with us into getting a room too. I chose this location as I saw the beautiful roof bar advertised and thought it’d be fun to start our night with a cocktail on the roof with a few friends before setting out to my main celebration elsewhere. Having stayed at several other similar hotels in town like Sixty LES, I never had an issue grabbing a cocktail at the rooftop bar. This was not the case here. I arrived with a group of 7 to head to the Highlight Room at around 7pm (wayyy before the nightlife rush!), and was told I had “priority” as a guest of the hotel, but first I had to commit to spending $350 for us to come up. Don’t advertise your bars as an amenity of the hotel if they are not freely accessible to guests. What if my friends just wanted a nice lemonade and to check out the view?? I guess they’re not welcome or that’s a lot of lemonade we’d have to buy! Just to note: Loosie’s, the club in the basement of the hotel with the “no-attitude dancefloor” — to quote the hotel website — is notoriously snooty at the door, and guests of the hotel are not prioritized for entry there either. We had other plans that night so didn’t even bother, but word to the wise. As for the room: Yes, they’re small. Expected in NYC, and was fine for us since we were only staying 1 night, but I would not want to stay here longer than a couple days. There is no real closet. Just a few hangers on a bar on the wall (some under the television!) so your clothes kind of have to hang flat against the wall. There are cubbies under the bed for storage. Not ideal in such a tight space. I stubbed my toe on them more than once. Maybe I’m clumsy or maybe it’s just a bad design! The light situation is super weird. I don’t know if our lighting was accidentally installed incorrectly, but in order to turn the bathroom light on, you had to have the main room light on. The main room light could be turned on separately. So basically, if you needed to go in the middle of the night, you either had to pee in the dark or turn on the lights of the whole room while your partner is sleeping! (Possible we didn’t see another light switch somewhere but I’m pretty sure the only switches were 2 by the door.) Toiletries: The shower had 2 pump bottles (sustainable. I respect that!) — but one was filled with a shampoo/body wash combo — and the other conditioner. I would expect something a bit more luxe even for a 4 star hotel — and certainly a separate shampoo and body wash! There was no lotion, which is usually standard in even the Holiday Inn. There was one small bar of soap for hand washing. No places to hang towels. I had to throw mine over the top of the shower door. Towels were pretty scratchy too. They do have a steamer and hair dryer. Bless! There was no fridge

The room is the same as the picture on the app. It's not too narrow, and it's spacious and has a terrace, so it's comfortable. The subway station is about a 10 minute walk. By the way, I paid for breakfast included, but when I checked in, they said that breakfast was only coffee and tea due to a pandemic? Breakfast is $14 per person, $84 for 3 nights for 2 people, which is not a small amount. You must indicate at the time of reservation that only coffee is available. The hotel did not respond, and fortunately, Trip.com apologized and was compensated with tripcoins.

is ok, fairly clean, friendly and helpful stuff, 24 hours reception, can check-in at any time. next to the train track, very noisy, AC inside the room but makes noise, you cannot sleep without earplugs, unless terribly tired like I was. Felt very safe in the area, I arrived at 02:00 am using the subway, and left 03:00 am with no problems. shop right next to the hostel. across the road other shops for food which are cheaper, only a short train ride to the main attractions. Large kitchen, 2 large fridges, pool table, large seating area in the basement too noisy because of the train track next to the window, noisy AC, no lift, steep stairs, cleanness of toilets was not to the best.

The West Side YMCA is definitely a no frills place to stay, but the location is excellent. You're right next to Central Park and Columbus Circle. Times Square is an easy walk south. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The first had a bunk bed and was quite small, but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. It also had a small TV and fridge. We had a semi-private bathroom, which was down the hall. This meant we had to scan our key on one of the bathroom doors to get in, but once inside we had privacy while we got cleaned up. The bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. We were able to upgrade the second half of our stay to a room with a larger bed and an in room bathroom. Again, this hotel is no frills. It can be rough around the edges, but it's clean and comfortable at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We did not have time to take advantage of the gym, the pool, the sauna, and stuff like that, but they looked nice. I'd recommend the West Side YMCA. If you're visiting NYC, you should be out doing stuff, not sitting around the room. It was everything we needed it to be.

Consistently good standard, rich breakfast, convenient transportation, quiet and comfortable room without interruption. The hotel staff is warm and polite, and can check in early after discussion.

Double Hilton Hotel in Downtown NY was in an excellent location in terms of transport. For example, taking the South Ferry Line 1 is one of the best kept secrets as it can get you to all the key destinations like Central Park, Time Square etc… For sure, it will be my hotel for next time

Free parking is very convenient, and there are plenty of parking spaces in the parking lot behind the hotel. When you arrive in downtown New York, take NJ transit (it is best to download the APP of the same name to view the route and pay) bus No. 320 at the hotel entrance. After arriving in New York, transfer to a public bus or New York subway, and you can reach the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan in 60 minutes. The breakfast selection is good. The room is cleaned upon request. If you don't want to clean and tip every day, you don't need to ask for daily cleaning. I left a tip on the last day before leaving. After all, it is a tipping country, so I have to adapt.

My wife and I took our family here. We will never make that mistake again. We were in suite 614. One Ac unit did not work. The other had a smell like something was dying in it. The pullout couch had no sheets. The bathroom was disgusting with hair in the tub. We had trouble getting into the room because the room locks were not working. The fitness center equipment kept turning off because they were all plugged into one outlet. The door to the fitness center would not open unless you got a front desk person to open it up. The card key and lock did not work on those doors. The pool had hair and urine on the tiles. The fitness center and pool did not open up till 2 on the weekends. The food for breakfast was ok. We did not have enough towels in our room. My wife asked housekeeping for more and was told no. There is no more towels. We would have to wait till later. The front desk staff during the day could care less if you had a problem. When checking out my wife shared how bad the experience was and the only response the front desk lady had was… have a good day.

A new hotel, not far from the subway. The only restaurants around are McDonald's and supermarkets. The supermarkets also have a variety of stir-fried food. If you don't sleep well, some rooms here will hear the sound of the subway or the voices in the corridor of the next room. The good thing is that when I arrived after 12 noon, I checked in for free and stayed for two nights. The second night was very quiet and I was not affected by the neighbors. Closer to the airport.
