Grasse River

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.
