Amazing stay at this property. Really wish there was breakfast included, but the tea and coffee was amazing. Loved the balcony and the amazing view of the bridge. Great location, train station is really close. Also, very close to Manhattan so going to the city was very quick.
The bathroom sink was too tall for my 5' wife to use. I'm 6' tall and found it inconvenient. Needs more electrical outlets. The TV speaker was garbled (probably blown). Cabs and Ubers had trouble finding the entrance. There is what looks like a generating station between the hotel and the NY skyline, kind of takes away from the view.
Ravel is so wonderful. Front lobby personnel was so professional and courteous. The hotel is so modern and the decor is superb. My room was beautiful with modern minimalistic, but yet color rich decor and had a big well furnitured balcony overlooking the 59 St. Bridge and the Long Island City skyline. It felt so private and quiet that I felt like I was the only guest in the building. Also, you can be in Manhattan walking over the bridge in literally minutes. They offer parking ballet at the premises for $25 per night. I’d definitely stay at Ravel again and highly recommend it to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The hotel room could have been cleaned better. The shower and tub was dirty. The table tops were sticky, the balcony looked like it’s never been cleaned before. A lot of dirt, ash and bird poop everywhere. Outdoor furniture was dirty.
Hotel room tv is not a smart tv and has limited channel options.
Walls were dirty and the paint was chipped.
Parking lot is always packed so you may end up parking on the street.
I appreciated that the room was bigger than your average hotels in NYC. The view would have been better if there wasn’t construction taking place on the roads. No fault of the hotel’s. Parking was available but not much. Room was clean. Bathroom was clean and shower was spacious.
The manager at the Ravel became abusive and hostile when i complained about the inannounced wedding that occurred during my stay where the noise was not only audible but palpable as the walls and the floors shook. I asked for a free night as a concession and was told yes. When i went to collect on the offer the manager yelled, screamed, called me a liar and was so unnecessarily hostile and should not be managing people or anything related to hospitality. I was hung up on and called a liar when Jaydev Gupta is a dishonest and disingeuine ill equipped manager who is abusive to his paying customers and a terrible representative if both Wyndam and the Ravel.
I would never recommend this hotel to anyone for fear this man could become unhinged at having to actually deal with anyone who r a spectfully sharws a grievance as is the right as a paying customer. I was absolutely treated terrible and verbally abused at this location.
The Ravel is a very nice hotel. The staff there are great. The view from the rooms looking over the east river is gorgeous. I would absolutely book another stay there.
