Edgewater Hotels

shuttle not reliable, information provided for shuttle was misleading. Staff response was not appropriate. BUT nice hotel, staff at check much better.

nice hotel- you won't regret it, it's in edgewater, NJ right on the city place. got good stores and restaurants around. probably one of the best Fort Lee, Pal Park, Edgewater, Englewood area hotels in terms of cleaniness and comfort.

The staff are nice and it's clean and conveniently located near everything..

I spent the weekend there. With the hotel being one block from the George Washington Bridge, it is perfect for cyclists looking for a cheap place to sleep at night while exploring the city in the daytime. Free parking and a big bed, less than one block from the bridge. There's nothing better for the purpose. The room was on the bottom floor, facing towards the busy roads outside. I slept like a baby. The hum of the traffic is relaxing, not annoying. The bed was comfy, clean, and big. Everything in the room was a little old and worn out, but completely clean. If you expect a brand new hotel for this price in NYC you are delusional. It is a place to sleep and recharge.

At first glance we were a bit weary of the place as the downstairs is quite cluttered and the house was very old, but after settling in we had quite a good experience. If you want a place in Harlem that has lots of character and a really comfortable bed, at a great price, this is the place for you. The house is decorated perfectly for Harlem and it really gives you the feel for what it was like back in the day. The stairs creaked something awful, but actually that ended up being part of the charm. Be ready to carry your suitcases up these creaky stairs, however, as there is no elevator. The air conditioning worked well, thankfully, as we were there in the heat and humidity of the summer and were drenched by the time we walked up from the subway five blocks and up the two flights of stairs. Jeremy is very laid back, don't be put off by his relaxed personality. He (and his staff) are really very accommodating. They even washed our cloths for us for a small fee which saved us valuable touring time! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

The B&B is in a 114 year old house in Harlem. The ambiance reflects its era and origin. It is clean, quiet and comfortable. A sumptuous and elegant breakfast is served. It's location, while being a long subway ride from Mid- and Lower Manhattan, is but five blocks from an express train station. It's neighborhood reflects the gradual gentrification of Harlem.

The room is clean and well designed. The staff were very helpful.

I only stayed one night for a few hours until the next morning because of an overnight flight stopover in NYC, so I cannot comment on anything else other than sleeping in the room for less than a full night. I did not use anything else the YMCA has to offer. If you expect something horrible you will be pleased and surprised to find a decent, respectable and clean room. If you expect a hotel-like nice experience, you will be disappointed. There's not much else to comment about a bare and featureless small room. Best feature is cleanliness and 24 hours check in (I would have found myself in a very sticky situation had that not been the case) as I arrived nearly at 1am. Worst is cell-like size of room with next to nothing else in it apart of the bare essentials. Bathrooms are shared, just a few of them in the corridor. For the same price you'll get a very respectable room in a proper good hotel elsewhere, but NY is NY so for what NY is, the Harlem Y is the lowest price you'll find for a decent, clean room. Special mention: I was greatly helped by the night-shift security guys who resolved a hairy situation for me when I arrived. I found myself in a potentially dangerous predicament with the taxi driver who got me there. The taxi driver was very evidently trying to rip me off or worse with a tricky subterfuge and the security staff were tremendously helpful and nice in making that awful driver go away.
