City Island, New York hotel rooms at the Highgate Independent

"The room was clean and very comfortable. We got an empire view room, and it was a fantastic view. It was a very convenient location for public transportation, and lots of options for grabbing quick meals. The lobby is small and basic, but staff was always helpful and there was never a long wait for the elevators. Checkin and check-out were quick and easy. Great bed and great shower with nice soap/shampoo/conditioner (we don't like soaps that are too strong and these were a lovely scent without being too strong). Mostly we wanted a hotel that had a nice room with a good view to rest in while we explored the city, and it was absolutely perfect for that!"

"This hotel is very close to the action but features a great place to stay in the city right in the center of midtown and near Times Square. The service was excellent and even with how busy the hotel was, you never felt it from the way their logistics were ran. The space is compact but as expected. However, it was very clean, surprising quiet and had all the amenities you would expect from a hotel double the price. I will definitely be staying here again."

"Overall was a great experience. However the room was right across from the elevator. Not preferable to have it across from high traffic areas. Other than this everything was pretty good."

"Great hotel, close to Times Square without being too close. Very friendly & professional staff. We stay in NYC 3 times a year for work and this was easily our favorite hotel yet. I’ll definitely be back!"

"I had a great time at YOTEL ! Staff was so nice and helped with anything I needed place is good for the price. I dont have any complaints but for "

"This hotel has an unbeatable location for visits involving Broadway theatre or the Times Square vicinity. The staff is so gracious and friendly and does everything they can to make you feel like a valued guest. The price is usually a huge bargain on hotels.com! You'll have a tiny room with scarce space to lay out anything at all. Same for bathroom. And the room will be clean but, though updated, it is an historic building with some signs of age. But if you want an affordable, convenient, clean, friendly place with a huge lobby to impress your friends, the Paramount is for you "

"The customer service was great. The room was excellent for the price. Neighborhood is very accessible and close to the NYSE and the battery is close by. Only negative thing would be the elevators being very slow but other than that I would come back and stay there"
