I arrived late at night because of a canceled flight. When I checked in the desk clerk said nothing...but, when I got to my room there was a notice that there would be NO WATER from 8-10AM the next day. I returned to the desk. I asked for a discount, since I would only be in the hotel from midnight until noon. He said NO. And, when I asked for an extended checkout to allow for more time for showering, etc. when the water was restored. He gave me a rate sheet starting at $100. Unbelievable. NO offer of food in the restaurant. No discount. No extended time. NOTHING!!! It's too bad...because the hotel was pretty nifty and I would have returned in the future.

For the price, The Boro was just fine except for the overwhelming stench of pot. The odor was so strong when we walked in the lobby, when we got off onto the third floor to our room, and even inside our suite.. Our room and bathroom was very clean. If you don't mind the smell of pot, then you will be totally fine.

I stayed at this hotel w/ my boyfriend for two nights, as we were in town for a concert. Upon entering the hotel, we both loved the vibe & the look of the lobby, w/ all of the staff being extremely kind, attentive, & helpful. We got the corner room on the seventh floor. The room was cute, but looked like it had not been properly cleaned (wooden floors needed to be mopped, bed frame had loads of dust in corners, pee in the toilet/under seat & base, & outlet next to bed had a cracked wall with the drywall crumbling everywhere). Bathroom was spacious but water sprays out of the shower which made floors extremely slippery & dangerous due to it being tile & a glass wall w/ no handle bar. The Balcony (Manhattan View) was cool, but it’s made of metal slats w/ NO bottom to catch anything so it was freaky being out there (if you dropped something it would be gone; not safe for children). The Rooftop bar was the best part of the hotel in my opinion! The view is beyond amazing, the couches, music & set up is great. The bartenders were terrific; making it a great first night, just wish they had longer summer hours. Lastly we encountered some great staff during our stay which made up for the room not being up to par at almost $700 for 2 nights. I would like to commend Renee for her amazing hospitality, kindness & making us feel welcome & at home in NY being from Boston!

This hotel is great! It was quiet and peaceful. The staff was amazing. They helped me find a corner store and then lent me an umbrella when it was raining. We also had dinner at the rooftop bar and that was lovely. It was an easy walk to the train station to get into the city. I highly recommend this hotel.

Lots of hidden fees that you have to sign your life away for when you arrive. Staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. Rooms were nice and clean but the hallways and elevators were dark and cramped. 15-20 minute walk to the main restaurant neighborhood.

Such a great hotel. Situated in a quiet residential area with convenience stores ( liquor too) & restaurants nearby. Friendly helpful staff , amazing restaurant on the main floor , rooftop lounge & bar with amazing views , free coffee /tea in the mornings & free glass of wine in the restaurant at night. The room are spacious, ours had a balcony & view of manhattan. Toiletries provided & you can request a mini fridge. The walls are thin so if you have a noisy neighbor, expect to hear them. Take ear plugs Incase. You can order food to your room from the restaurant & they’ll deliver it to the rooftop patio also. I do wish they would lock up our luggage on checkout day instead of having to leave it in the foyer where anyone could steal it though. And the rooftop only opens after 5pm, wish it had been open for lunch. Other than that, I absolutely loved my stay there & will definitely go back.
