Top Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Newark International Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was exceptional"

The Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay ."

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay! This was my second time- I came back because of the excellent location. Right there in Times Square! The staff was very helpful- mapped out a trip to the airport using the subway and bus. Saved us a TON of $ instead of using a “ride-share.” Will definitely be back!"

Sela V Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We planned an anniversary weekend in the Brooklyn Naval Yard to see the Gorillaz House of Kong exhibition and wanted a nice hotel that was walking distance to the yard and restaurants. What a surprise Sela V was, we booked the Bridge Loft and my first impression was that of wonderment; large comfortable king bed in a massive spacious open area. We had a few drinks at the bar which is in a wonderful open area with a wall of guitars and amplifier stacks (decorative), a piano and an intriguing spiral staircase made of books. I didn't realize this was such a new hotel and we really look forward to seeing how they proceed - I really hope that the attention to detail and high standards continue."

Four Points By Sheraton New York Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was fantastic, especially at the front desk. I am upset that I can't remember the name of the Asian gentleman who checked me in, but he was one of the best, most friendly and helpful front desk agents I have ever interacted with. I was in a bind because I lost my wallet and didn't have ID or my credit card with me, and he found a way to verify everything and get me checked in. You can't ask for a better performance by a member of the hotel staff. He was fantastic, as we're everyone else I interacted with at the hotel. I will absolutely stay here again!"

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"2nd time staying at this hotel. Employees are nice, gave me upgrades for being hilton honors, and hotel is pretty affordable."

Hyatt Grand Central New York

10/10 Excellent

"Room was cleaned and neat. Staff was friendly"

Placemakr Wall Street

10/10 Excellent

"This property is perfect for anyone who does not mind taking the train to midtown. It’s quiet, spacious, and the staff is friendly. I will be staying here again."

Courtyard by Marriott New York Downtown Manhattan/Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"La única queja que puedo tener que la habitaciones grandes (la que yo escogi) está pegadas al elevador, y el mismo hace demasiado ruido… aspecto a mejorar"
