One of the things I loved about our stay was how clean the environment was and how the staff kept the rooms very clean. Another thing I loved was that our room was located at the side exit which was very convenient for us leaving and entering the inn. Also, we always had parking nearby and navigating from the inn to my family's house, restaurants, and the mall was super easy as well. In all the experience was a great one so we would use this Inn when visiting New York again.

No other hotel in the country does this. The freezing hallways are colder than outside and it's cold outside in New York.

It feels far more elevated than a typical Residence Inn and exceeded my expectations in every way, from the lobby and bar to the rooms and the staff. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. They offer happy hour, plus brunch on Saturdays. I didn't get a chance to try either, but the food and drinks looked and smelled amazing. Of all the hotels in the Melville area, this might just be the best!

About 1.5 miles away from Chelsea Pier. 1 mile (20 minute walk) from Times Square. Clean, comfortable rooms. A bit small though. Friendly staff and excellent service. I had a perishable box and they held it in the freezer for me. Gym is kind of small but they provide cooled face towels. Cons: TV had bad reception and some channels did not work Since it's in Manhattan, it can be noisy at times, probably good to bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper

I'm giving 3 stars for a couple reasons: the towels, shower and gym…read more We booked through hotels.com. knowing we will spend more time outside, we didn't bother booking a fancy and pricey hotel. Also, this hotel does not charge any Iadditional Resort fees, so in total we paid about $589 for a room with 2 double beds and a city view on the 19th (out of 22) floor. As soon as we arrived, there were a lot of staff at the front desk, some looked like managers. They were extremely friendly. I believe Layla (?) checked us in and let us know that our room would be ready in about 15 minutes. They were always greeting us whenever we went through the lobby. The room itself was nice, not too small or crowded (unlike other rooms I stayed in while visiting NYC that were super tiny). Sheets and towels were clean; however some of the towels had holes and were ripping. The bathroom was slightly older-looking, the shower floor looked like it could use a heavy bleach cleaning. They provided 2 free water bottles each day, which was awesome. There were also toiletries available in the bathroom: mouthwash, lotion, q-tips, shower cap, nail file. The shower also had three dispensers, I believe they were shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I didn't use them, so didn't pay much attention. The lowest level had a really tiny gym and ice machine. The gym was very small and extremely hot. However, it was nice to have one. The hotel itself is not easy to find from the street/sidewalk. You would have to look for the hotel restaurant name first, then you'll find the hotel.

The rooms were comfortable, and the property itself is in a convenient location. The only downside was my experience with the valet/parking. Unfortunately, my vehicle was damaged while in the hotel's care, and communication afterward to Zadonna has been disappointing. I'm still waiting for the matter to be resolved, which has taken away from an otherwise enjoyable stay. Also, be prepared to pay $40 per day for parking, which is something to factor into your budget. Despite the parking issue, the hotel itself was nice. I just hope management improves how they handle incidents and follows up with guests in a more timely and professional manner. The restaurant and bar were a great surprise. I ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries, and it was absolutely delicious. The sandwich was packed with flavor, the fries were fresh and crispy, and the service at the bar was excellent. It definitely made my stay even more enjoyable.

It is in…read moreclose proximity to the American Dream Mall, and it is by far one of the nicest, fanciest, and more upscale expensive yet slightly affordable stays. This was our first time doing date night together at a hotel, so we did go somewhere nicer the first time around. It was a great stay! BOOKING My man planned and booked everything. He booked it via booking.com and had a slight issue because he accidentally booked it for the wrong date. Booking does have a change of reservation policy, it is free and included, but the first 2 people over the phone at booking did not want to do their jobs. The third person finally did their job and seamlessly changed the reservation date. Why isn't the option available online, I'll never know, that could have all been avoided! He works overtime quite a bit and late nights so I didn't blame him for a second! It meant the world to me that he planned this all on his own for me. So he made a mistake, big whoop, things happen when you're exhausted. PARKING The parking lot is spacious and free! Plenty of parking to choose from! Obviously we also stayed off season during a weekday so that might have also factored into things. CHECKING-IN My god this place was stunning! Supposedly this is a 3-star hotel, but it is definitely the best 3-star hotel we stayed in thus far! Checking-in was a breeze, had no issues at all. ROOM The room is gorgeous! It is an open floor plan, but you are going to be mesmerized and in love with this place! I definitely want to go back at some point! Everything was so well lit. I loved the open floor plan bathroom. The sliding door to the toilet was chefs kiss! You wouldn't have even known it was there. And there's a mirror on the sliding door! There's also a floor to ceiling interesting mirror on the opposite wall. Stunning! The wallpaper options were interesting and eccentric to say the least, but we still enjoyed the vibe. It was very hipster I guess you could say. Definitely a vibe! The bed was comfortable as well! All the pillows were nice and soft, overall the whole stay and date night was a hit! And because we had such a good time with the first date night, we decided to keep doing it! Pun not intended. The TV and remote also worked well! We were able to log into my Netflix account with ease, and it logs out on its own as well! FOOD There is no breakfast included, but there are plenty of restaurants around the area to go grab a bite to eat. We actually took a quick walk in the evening, after checking in, to grab dinner at Outback Steakhouse. But there's so many other places, Nrgzie a juice smoothie shop, Chipotle, Carnegie Diner & Cafe, as well as others. If you don't like anything in the area, the American Dream Mall has many options to choose from as well! OVERALL This hotel is right near many other hotels in the area. The American Dream Mall is nearby, but it is not in walking distance. You either need to drive, get an Uber/Lyft or take a shuttle over if the hotel provides shuttle service. A lot of the surrounding hotels do provide a shuttle service, so just check in with the front desk. My man and I love to snowboard before date night, that's why I mention American Dream Mall quite often. That's our shared hobby and how we met. This area is very clean and safe, so you can rest assured and have a great stay! I know I sure did! Unfortunately I don't have many photos because we stayed here prior to me starting to Yelp, but I hope I come back and get some great photos eventually! Overall stunning place and great stay! All my first 5-star review on Yelp! I do not give 5-stars out lightly.

As an essential worker, we are expected to be in the hospital. Blizzard or not. We were not given…read moreaccommodations at the hospital so I chose to stay here at Best Western which is less than two miles away from the hospital (or a 4 minute drive away on a regular day). I figured as long as I can get out of the parking lot, Old Country Road will be a straight shot to the hospital. I called the hotel the day before the blizzard to ask if they had a plan to plow overnight so we can get out and get to the hospital by morning. I was assured they have "a guy." Well we got stuck. It was an untouched blanket of snow that literally went up to my knees, past my boots and into my boots. An hour of digging did us no good. Ultimately I had to phone a friend and catch a ride by walking over to the gas station next door. I'm livid. I have fellow coworkers at other hotels where I was told they plowed their parking lots throughout the night. I chose this specific hotel because I was assured it will not be an issue. Unfortunately I never caught a name. It was a young man who answered the call on Saturday February 21 at 06:58 AM. Do not recommend. ... Not to mention the room smelled like body odor and the thermostat didn't work. Oh and the WiFi didn't work either.

There was an issue with the elevators not working most of the time. One was down the whole time we stayed and one day a second one was down causing very long lines to get to and from your room and lobby. They provide breakfast every morning and have a decent amount of options.
