Graduate by Hilton New York
This hotel is hands down one of the quietest and safest places I've stayed in New York City, with an incredible view of Manhattan's glittering skyline. We traveled with our 2-year-old toddler, and everyone—including the little one—felt completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the stay. The rooms are spacious, the beds are super cozy, and the soundproofing makes for a peaceful night’s sleep. The on-site restaurant is absolutely a hidden gem—breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all delicious and well-prepared, even my picky eater loved it. Getting into Manhattan is just two subway stops away, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city without hassle. The views from the room are stunning, especially at night when the city lights come alive. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and tranquility. Highly recommend this place for families or anyone looking for a high-quality stay in NYC.
Wythe Hotel
This hotel is absolutely stunning—immaculate from top to bottom, and every staff member goes above and beyond with their warmth and professionalism. While the hotel doesn’t offer parking, there’s a great value lot just a two-minute walk away at 25 Kent St. We paid $64 for 2.5 days, which was incredibly reasonable. The room itself was a dream: exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, and a bathroom that felt like a spa—with a massive tub and a powerful shower. Pro tip: if you’re sharing a room with someone you don’t want to see naked, be aware the shower partition isn’t a one-way mirror—you can actually see into it when someone’s showering. Luckily I was with my daughter, so no issues there. Both the in-house restaurant and the ramen spot next door are fantastic—definitely worth trying. I didn’t make it to the rooftop bar this time, but since I’ll be back every time I visit NYC, it’s definitely on my list for next time. The room was extremely quiet, and temperature control was effortless. That said, as someone who’s highly sensitive to energy and atmosphere, I did notice some unusual things right from the moment I walked in. Nothing scary—I’m not prone to fear—but I experienced several undeniable phenomena: seeing movement down the hall in both my room and the public corridor, hearing voices speaking clearly nearby when I was alone in the shower, and even hearing the stairwell door open directly beside our room, only to find it empty when I checked. It wasn’t coming from another room—it felt immediate, personal. After returning home, my daughter looked up the building’s history, and let’s just say it shed light on everything. There’s a reason why the third floor (near what used to be a fire escape) felt particularly charged. It also explains why my first thought upon opening the front door was, “I’m surprised they get away with inward-opening doors—this violates fire code.” Anyway, if you’re curious, do your own research. But regardless of all that, this is an exceptional hotel at a fair price, located in a safe and beautiful part of Brooklyn. I’ll be back again without hesitation.
