Pipes Cove Holidays

Everything was great. I did have a problem with the air conditioner at first it wasn’t working properly. They fixed it though so I can’t complain too much.

First of all, my review is on no reflection of the staff. They were actually the best part of our stay. I give them high marks. As far as the hotel property is concerned, I wouldn’t stay there again. I booked the room because of the kitchenette. When we went to heat up our leftovers, It did not work. I was sent to an unoccupied room in the lower level to use the microwave in there. Our bathroom did not shut completely. I went with a friend and obviously we could not have complete privacy when using the restroom. When my friend went to cut her leftovers , the large steak knife was loose at the hinge and she couldn’t use that either. The bed was a little smaller that I anticipated for 2 people. One more thing, at first, the safe wouldn’t open. A maintenance man swiftly fixed it. It worked for the first few days and then it would not accept the code I had been using all along. Once again I had to contact the desk for maintenance. Unfortunately it was later in the evening and I had to wait til morning. My iPad was in there so I could not use it as I had planned until the next day. I had asked to move our room and the fellow at the front desk said he could not until the next morning, which we did. The microwave worked, the bathroom door shut and the safe worked. We only ended up in that room for one night. I won’t be going back there again. I do thank the folks who worked there as they were very pleasant.

Great

Staff was great. Lobby was lovely. Rooms were a little tired and could use updating, but the beds were comfortable. Water pressure in shower was good, but not a ton of water flow.

I frequently stay at Hampton Inn. I’ll first say the staff were very polite and helpful. We had no issue there. The rooms are extremely small, which I guess is the norm in NYC. The carpets should be replaced. They’re pretty gross, but the beds were clean. We didn’t enjoy the food there at all and they had difficulties accommodating all of the guests. The nice gentleman working was trying hard to keep the food filled. I think he needs help. The gym, because the rooms are so small, have some medicine balls and I believe 1 treadmill and 1 elliptical. As far as location, it was pretty great. You could easily walk to many places or public transportation.
