Basking Ridge Farmstead Arts Center Hotels

"Housekeeping staff was great and did a good job everyday but the person we first met on arriving was rude. We understand rooms may not be available for early check in but the same can be conveyed in a kind manner. We reached early so they gave us access to a common guest washroom which was terribly dirty and started the trip on a bad note. "

"Great"

"Very clean room! They give cans of water when they clean your room which was a rice perk. Toiletries smelled very nice as well. "

"Front desk was very friendly. A man named Mohammad who allowed us to check in early and gave us a room upgrade. Very helpful and accommodating so would recommend this hotel. The rates are pretty good and you are close to Penn station which is easy to get uptown or downtown to all the tourist spots. The hotel room itself is clean and the bed was comfy. I don't think I've ever said this before, but shower pressure was too much - only downside of the room. Aircon, coffee, towels - everything you need. The breakfast bar (Starbucks) downstairs is great addition and perfect to get a morning coffee on your way out. We stayed the day we checkout, but you can store your luggage until 11pm for $5. Again, would definitely recommend."

"Micro rooms are clean and all you need in NYC. The sheets are a bit ruff; otherwise, all good."

"Complimentary Breakfast and meal funds very good. Bell Person Mr. Rafae Chaudhry extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Great location Friendly staff"

"The location was great, nice clean hotel wish it had a restaurant."

"Family of 3- room was exactly what we expected. Location was great! We love to utilize the subway and this hotel was close to 3 different transit lines which made it super easy for us to navigate and get anywhere we needed to be in Manhattan. Loved being able to walk to Staten Island Ferry, Wall Street, Battery Park, and loads of local eateries like Liberty Bagel and Tacombi. We loved being able to have somewhere safe to keep our luggage before we checked in and after check out so we could continue to explore NYC. All the staff were lovely and the hotel was impeccably clean."

"The stay had a bit of a mixed experience. Check-in started off with a very long line, which was frustrating at first, but once an additional associate stepped in, things moved along much faster and more efficiently. Unfortunately, the atmosphere during the evening wasn’t as pleasant. A guest from the room next to ours—who appeared to have had quite a bit to drink—was at the bar loudly complaining that it wasn’t happy hour and repeatedly claimed we were being too loud. Despite her behavior, we were the ones approached and warned about noise, which felt a bit unfair given the situation. We tried to be accommodating and even asked if we could relocate to the lobby sitting area, and were initially told that would be fine. However, once the night shift associate came on, we were told we could no longer sit there and would need to go outside instead. Considering it was about 40 degrees, that wasn’t a reasonable option. Overall, the inconsistency in communication and handling of the situation made for a frustrating experience. If you’re considering traveling with a group and hope to spend time together at the hotel, I would steer away from this one, as that doesn’t seem to be something they accommodate or encourage. "
