15. The Local Hostel

Watkins Glen

"Keep in mind this is a simple hostel (with no curfew). Nevertheless, I booked the more expensive private room. All my expectations were met. I had a clean, comfortable room/bed to sleep in. The hostel is along the main road and is near the center of town, but my room was very quiet -- I slept very well. The bathrooms are separate -- the one I used was roomy and the shower was fantastic. The proprietor I dealt with, and his two pettable dogs, were a pleasure. All in all, I was...

Top New York 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."

YOTEL New York Times Square, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The self check-in kiosks were down both days, so the checking in line at the small desk was very long at times. The 4th floor withe restaurant and other public spaces was roomy and comfortable. Large rooftop lounge and bar very nice as well. Good buffet breakfast was basic but good for $22. My small, solo room was compact but comfortable- however, no fridge for this room category."
