Chuang Yen Monastery

Great location, friendly staff, and close to many restaurants, shops, and things to do. Easy to get around on foot or by public transit. The hotel offers great views of both midtown and downtown. So many great restaurants nearby, with Little Italy, Chinatown, and Soho within walking distance. The hotel offers good discounts to guests for many nearby restaurants and shops. Very quiet at night. Room was clean and fairly spacious. Highly recommend and would stay here again!

Stayed at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge for our 5 year wedding anniversary and had an amazing experience. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and super helpful throughout our stay. Loved the relaxed vibe and casual style from the staff because it made the hotel feel comfortable instead of overly formal. The rooftop bar was next level with incredible views of the river and the Brooklyn Bridge. Very happy with our stay overall and would definitely come back.

The room was fine. Nothing overly special. View was terrible, and the room was quite small. The staff were lovely except for the concierge. He didn’t seem very knowledgeable or eager to help. They didn’t offer to make any reservations and when I asked for suggestions he proceeded to Google, which I could have done myself. The restaurant was overpriced and food was mediocre. The location was excellent but that’s about it. The valet parking was ridiculous, they wanted $110 with no in and out privileges. I recently stayed at the Mandarin and it was less, and we had in and out privileges. They also assigned the room right in front of the elevator so we heard people and the elevator door open and shut all day and night.
