When I booked this property, I reviewed its rating and inspected the pictures. It looked awesome, and we were excited to stay there. We were looking for a nice hotel close to LGA airport.
However, as I was driving toward the hotel with my family in our rental car, I noticed that this property is listed as being in the Bronx.
When I actually arrived—and this was at 11 p.m.—people were loitering, sitting in front of the hotel, and staring at us. It was a complete mess.
I’m not easily scared, and having grown up in a foreign country, however I know an unsafe situation when I see one. Long story short, we kept driving because my family refused to stay at this hotel.
If you’re looking for a cultural experience you wouldn’t get anywhere else, this might be your hotel. The pictures are awesome and I assume this is a really great hotel. Otherwise, this was the first time in 25 years that something like this has happened to me.
