Renaissance New York Harlem Hotel

Staying at the Renaissance New York Harlem Hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The room size was just right—comfortable and well-proportioned, with a spacious bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The view from the upper floors is fantastic; you can see far into the city skyline, especially stunning during sunset hours. There are plenty of small shops nearby, so grabbing snacks, drinks, or essentials is super convenient. I enjoyed walking to Columbia University—about a 20-minute stroll through residential streets, which felt safe during daylight hours. That said, I did notice the neighborhood’s safety level is average, so I’d recommend being mindful when walking around late at night. All in all, it's a great choice if you're looking to immerse yourself in a real Harlem vibe without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The value for money is strong, and the hotel delivers on atmosphere and practicality.

Wingate by Wyndham Bronx/Haven Park

This hotel is an absolute gem! The subway station is just a short walk away, making it super convenient for getting around NYC. What really stands out is the complimentary sparkling water and ice-cold water—something you rarely find in other hotels in New York. The front desk even gives you a reusable bottle that you return upon checkout, and there’s a self-service water station on the first floor near the elevator—so practical and eco-friendly. The room layout is smart and thoughtfully designed, offering great comfort and functionality. Just two blocks away, there’s a small grocery store with fresh, affordable fruit—seems to be run by a Korean family, perfect for grabbing snacks or drinks. And if you’re into sports, Yankee Stadium is within easy reach. Overall, this place offers incredible value and a truly pleasant stay—highly recommend it!

Aloft Harlem

Staying at Aloft Harlem was an excellent experience overall. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a soft bed that made for a restful night's sleep. I loved the lively street view—great energy and vibrant city vibes right outside the window. The location is central and convenient, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and easy access to public transit for exploring Manhattan. The air conditioning worked incredibly well, keeping the room cool and comfortable even during warmer evenings. One minor note: the unit made a bit of noise when running, but it wasn’t disruptive. All in all, this hotel offers great value, modern design, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a stylish yet practical stay in Harlem.

Soul Food 'Mont Morris'

This is a guest house, not a hotel or Airbnb, so setting the right expectations from the start is key. There’s no front desk or lobby, and no external signage—access is via a door code, and you enter independently. That said, here’s what made our weekend stay at Soul Food Mont Morris memorable: The experience itself was unique—feeling like part of the local community with a cozy, authentic vibe. Rooms and bathrooms were spotless, beautifully styled with vintage charm. It’s super convenient for exploring Harlem—restaurants, grocery stores, and a CVS are just around the corner. The subway station is a 6-minute walk away, with downtown Manhattan reachable in about 25 minutes by train. However, keep a few things in mind: Communication was tricky two days before arrival—we tried the booking app and the phone number listed in the email, but couldn’t get through. Once on-site, everything ran smoothly, so if you’re used to contacting a host or calling a front desk, this isn’t the place for you. Also, if you’re planning to take a midday break and return to your room during hot weather (like we did during a heatwave), be aware that going back and forth throughout the day isn’t practical due to the distance. You’ll need to remove your shoes upon entering—the house provides slippers, so bring your own pair if possible. Accessing upper-floor rooms requires climbing a wooden staircase barefoot or in socks, which can be slippery, so slippers are essential. Overall, this isn’t for everyone. Don’t judge it by hotel standards—initial disappointment is common if you expect a traditional stay. But once you settle in, it grows on you. We stayed just one weekend, but honestly, we’d have loved to extend our visit to truly soak in Harlem’s rhythm and energy.

Northern Lights Mansion

My stay at Northern Lights Mansion was a mixed experience. The furniture looked like it came from a yard sale—mismatched and not cohesive in style. Extension cords and TV cables were loosely run and exposed throughout the room, which felt unsafe and unprofessional. The bathroom door wouldn’t stay shut, requiring constant adjustment during use. Unfortunately, the jetted tub I was looking forward to was out of service, which was disappointing. Breakfast was an additional charge, and while the food quality was decent, the extra cost made it feel less value for money. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay more pleasant on a personal level. Overall, the hotel has potential, but improvements in room upkeep, safety, and guest amenities would go a long way in boosting the experience.

The Marmara Manhattan

Staying at The Marmara Manhattan was an absolute delight. The hotel boasts a stylish vibe with generously sized rooms that feel both luxurious and welcoming. Its central location in Midtown West makes it incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the subway—yet it’s tucked into a surprisingly quiet corner of the city, perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring. The staff went above and beyond: from handling booking changes to offering thoughtful recommendations for restaurants nearby. Eleonor, the Rooms Manager, stood out with her professionalism and warmth; Flloyd and Cassandra were equally impressive, always ready to assist with a smile. The beds were heavenly—truly a dream to sleep on. After long days walking through rainy New York streets, the Turkish baths were exactly what we needed to relax and recharge. Every detail felt intentional, from the ambiance to the service. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting NYC.

The Park Ave North

Staying at The Park Ave North was a fantastic experience overall. The room was quiet, clean, and well-maintained—perfect for a relaxing getaway. I especially appreciated the kettle, which made it easy to brew tea or coffee during my stay. As this is an apartment-style hotel, front desk service is limited to specific hours, so it's important to plan accordingly. If you arrive outside of those hours, you’ll need to call ahead to coordinate check-in, which worked smoothly but could be tricky if there’s a language barrier. That said, the value for money is outstanding—great space, modern amenities, and a convenient location near subway access makes it ideal for travelers looking for comfort without overspending. Highly recommend for both short stays and longer visits.

The International Cozy Inn

I’ve been relying on this service for airport transfers ever since I discovered it—definitely a game-changer. It’s way more affordable than parking my car at the airport, and the reliability is top-notch. I’ve used them multiple times for both John Wayne Airport and LAX, and every single ride has been on time with friendly, professional drivers. My most recent trips were on September 20th and 25th to John Wayne, plus two trips to LAX in June—no issues whatsoever. The convenience, punctuality, and value make it an easy choice. I’ll definitely be booking again for my October trip. Highly recommend for anyone needing hassle-free airport rides.
