Placemakr Wall Street

10/10 Excellent

"Staffs were super helpful and friendly."

TWA Hotel at JFK Airport

8/10 Good

"Great stay because of the history of it and how cool it feels to be there. Its like transporting to the 60’s. A museum and a hotel at the same time. Amazing architecture. Hotel is well kept. Room was not very large but comfortable enough. Room was clean. Not many amenities, no mini bar, not even a complementary bottle of water. Coming into the hotel (following access signs) there is a construction site and a detour which made difficult to get to hotel and we got soaked from rain as the path is not covered…later we found out there is direct covered access from the inside of terminal 5."

Moxy NYC East Village

8/10 Good

"Great location for our needs. The room was tiny but that was fine. The bed was comfortable and shower was fantastic. The lighting in the room could have been better. A night light in the bathroom area would have help. We had pastry and coffee from the cafe which were both great."

Little Something

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel in dowtown Manhattan area."
