Top Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

ROW NYC

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel in a central location! Room was a bit small with an extremely small bathroom but everything was clean and in working order. We arrived fairly late in the evening so check in wasn’t an issue but during our stay the check in and elevator lines did get a bit long. Customer service and additional help at this hotel does seem to be lacking. Overall the stay was pleasant but not sure I would stay here again."
