South Brooklyn hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in South Brooklyn, New York

"Room was clean. "

"Great Location to everything! The pool was a hit with the kids and LandShark pub for the adults ! All of the staff were very helpful throughout our stay! "

"Although I have been satisfied in years past, unfortunately those visit was just ok. Nothing was a WOW factor. New mgmt is the response that I was always given. How sad! I am a 37yr Hyatt member, World and Globalist. So, not impressed- DeForest"

"Staff are the best "

"Everyone knows that NYC Hotel rooms are overpriced and small. But I was pleasantly surprised by the size and “affordability” of this room…Up to date, beds were good, bath was good- can’t say anything bad about the room or hotel. Perfect stay! Would recommend!"

"They offered me a free drink at the bar, due to my room being delayed, which was very nice! Breakfast was really good, everything fresh and delicious. planning to come back again this summer! "

"Great staff. Clean room with tv, a bed, a closet, a chair, a bathtub - a great price but few amenities. I had to ask for paper cups ( no glasses) or coffee or chargers. The lobby was striking art deco and there was a café in the hotel where you could get coffee. Also a great location if you want to enjoy Broadway shows and Times Square."

"Great"

"We recently stayed at The New Yorker for a quick two-day, one-night trip, and overall had a pleasant experience. The hotel itself is nice and centrally located right off 8th Avenue, making it very convenient for exploring the heart of New York. Although there was construction happening outside, it did not impact our stay. Check-in was a highlight. The front desk associate was welcoming, allowed us an early check-in, and even provided an upgraded room, which we truly appreciated. There were a few small touches that could have made the stay even better. For a hotel of this size and location, it would have been nice to have complimentary coffee or water available in the lobby. While the room included a Keurig, it only had coffee and no tea options. Additionally, there was no microwave in the room or accessible anywhere in the hotel. After ordering in-room dining, which was quite expensive, it would have been helpful to reheat leftovers rather than having to go back out. Bathroom amenities were also very basic. Items like lotion or makeup remover wipes would have been a nice addition, especially compared to other hotels at a similar or even lower price point. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, especially the location and customer service, but a few added conveniences and amenities would elevate the experience even more. "
