The Boro Hotel

Beds are super comfortable. Breakfast was yummy. Great location to get to the subway.

Need another chair in the room and a luggage rack already in the room (you have to request one).

More like 4.5 stars

The decor and cleanliness were lovely, and the location was great - quicker walk to subway and trip to Manhattan than I'd expected. Bed and sheets very comfortable, quality towels, and spacious room and bathroom. View was also terrific.

The only reasons I'm not giving 5 stars are: not enough towels for a couple (despite asking for more). Breakfast/coffee service ridiculously slow and chaotic. (And really, should you charge a guest for a cup of regular coffee?) Bath products strange-very strong masculine scent to most; strong enough that I didn't feel I could use them. Shower charmingly minimal but not that practical-because it's open at one side, you end up getting water everywhere and it can get chilly for activities like leg shaving.

Fabulous Loft-Style Boutique Hotel

friendly, chill staff. nice amenities. great view from our room across the river and on the roof

it's concrete, so doors closing are loud, but not bad.
