The room numbers with their shadow design are a small but stylish touch that adds character. The rooftop pool is refreshing, and the bar offers incredible views of Manhattan skyline, perfect for evening drinks. Music runs until midnight every night, so it might not be ideal for light sleepers or families with young kids—but for adults seeking a vibrant, stylish stay, this is hands down the best hotel I’ve stayed at in a long time. And kudos for being extremely pet-friendly; my dog felt right at home too.

Holiday Inn Express Long Island City E New York, an IHG Hotel
Staying at the Holiday Inn Express Long Island City E New York was an absolute delight. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night's sleep. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, efficient, and always ready to help. Breakfast was fantastic: a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options that catered to all tastes, even my picky kid enjoyed it. Located just a short walk from the subway, getting into Manhattan was effortless. For the price and the overall experience, this hotel offers incredible value. I’ll definitely be back.
International Students Residence
I stayed at the International Students Residence and was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and practical it felt. The kitchen is one of the friendliest I've used—perfect for cooking meals on a budget, which is great for students. There's even a piano in the common area, which adds a nice touch for relaxing or playing during downtime. My room was clean and comfortable, and while the bathroom and shower are shared, they’re well-maintained and functional. It’s affordable without compromising on basics, and being close to public transit makes getting around New York easy. A solid choice for students looking for value and a cozy vibe.
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.
Citizenm New York Bowery
Staying at Citizenm New York Bowery was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to SoHo, and right across from the Supreme store, perfect for fashion lovers. The hotel itself feels fresh and modern, with a clean, minimalist vibe. My room was cozy and comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I appreciated the efficient check-in process. Everything about this stay felt seamless and well thought out. Highly recommend for anyone visiting NYC who wants a stylish, convenient base near all the action.
Gramercy Townhouse by Sudha
I rented this townhouse for two years and always paid my rent on time, but the experience was extremely frustrating. The air conditioning provided barely worked during summer, so I had to install split-unit AC systems myself—spending around $20,000 upgrading the unit. When I moved out, I was shocked that no security deposit was returned, and the owner blocked me completely. I even regret not taking the AC units with me since hiring a contractor of her choice cost me $14,000 alone. This wasn’t just a bad stay—it was a deeply disappointing and unprofessional interaction. I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone, especially given the lack of basic trust and accountability.
