The Dutch Hotel Long Island City, Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy
Rooms were clean, had a mini fridge which is actually usually hard to find in NYC. Even had free coffee which again is not common in nyc. I liked not having to interact with staff

Aura Hotel Brooklyn
Staff was great and really nice. The room was fine also. The hotel is 30 min walk from anything interesting. Parking was almost impossible. It's a little expensive for what it's worth.
