Cupsogue County Park

I thought this hotel was superb. Amazing location in an eclectic, lively neighbourhood; and great value-for-money for NYC. Really friendly and helpful staff. And the room was simple and utilitarian, but also exceptionally well-designed and aesthetically and stylistically so cool as well. Free cocktails made for a nice welcome gift, and the overall energy and vibe of the stay was so on-point. One *tiny* quibble was the low pressure from my showerhead, but that was a small inconvenience at most. I've visited New York many times before, but staying uptown in the Heights this time was an excellent decision, rather than defaulting to midtown area. I'd highly recommend choosing Radio Hotel if like me you're an international traveler and you want a place to stay that's way away from the tourist spots, but from which those spots are still easily accessible (1 train straight shot down and up for the win). The staff and building are a credit to hoteliers the world over, and whoever is in charge there should be roundly applauded for the quality of service they have effectively delivered.

I have stayed there many times. Location is fantastic & view of the cathedral is beautiful. Stay there 4-5 times per year. Love it.

Pros: The hotel is in an excellent location in NYC, within walking distance of Times Square and Little Italy, with easy Uber pickup. It is Next door to an Irish pub, and that's great and easy. The room was clean, and the AC worked great. The lobby let us leave our bags until check-in time. People are nice and helpful. Nice appearance. Cons: The room itself is bare-bones. Clean and safe, but no clock, no TV, no frills. Tiny little closet, basic bathroom, no iron or anything like that. Bare bones. The biggest negative was that the fire alarm went off at 530 AM, and we did not hear it well in our room. There were no flashing lights, and some confusion about what that noise was. People ended up out on the street in PJs & some never heard the alarm!! We were told we could go back in - it was a false alarm. An hour later it happened again, so the sleep was not peaceful after a long night in NYC, AND I did not feel that, in the event of a real emergency, I would hear the alarm and be able to navigate with no visible fire extinguishers, no flashing lights, and narrow stairs. It could have been a really dangerous situation. Overall, I give it a 3 out of 5 B/c of the fire alarm situation. Price was $230.00 on a weeknight in August. Fair and expected for NYC and the location.
