What People are saying

OK

Pros: Location within walking distance of New York Botanic Garden; helpful desk staff, modern decor; mattress comfortable; affordable by NY standards. MetroNorth train stop 10 min walk from hotel is a 20 minute ride to Grand Central Station, making travel to Manhattan easy.
Cons: Any noise at all in the hallway (and there were plenty!) is very loud----room doors are clustered together, making such noise more likely. Seriously, bring ear plugs! Breakfast was bare bones even by most breakfast buffet standards.
General: Neighborhood is mixed, some new apartment construction, a few dilapidated buildings, a police station a block away and storefronts with bars and roll-down metal doors. walked from NYBG a few times after dark and never had any unwanted attention or problems of any sort.

Nice place

Newer hotel in the Bronx. The rooms are small but clean and price reasonable for the area. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and hotel offers free but limited parking and smoking rooms to avoid the cold. Nice place and would stay again.

Great location! Close to Fordham Univ.

We booked this place after reading reviews on Trip Advisor and are so glad we did! We were visiting our son at Fordham University. It was a short walk to the university and we felt very safe waking to and from the hotel. Breakfast was good and included in room fee.

SUPER IMPRESSED IN THE BOOGIE DOWN BRONX!

First off, Alex was very helpful answering my questions when I first called.

I had to book a room for my mother visiting the Boro as she is very familiar with the area and it's soo close to everything: Montefiore Hospital, the famed Woodlawn Cemetary, Fordham Road/ University, Bronx Botanical Gardens, and The Bronx Zoo. And so easy to get to from the Bronx River Parkway.

Well I had called Alex again, and had asked if my mother could drop her things off a little earlier and continue with some errands in the area and when she got there her room was ready a lot sooner than 3pm check in. I was very grateful. Alex took all my info and emailed me a form to process payment as I didn't want my mother to be charged.

The Room is very clean, and has all the amenities. The hallways nice too. There is a free continental breakfast offered in the morning. I visited mom and I really like the place. I'll be staying here when I come back to visit and my mother has become a fan as well.

Neat and clean Hotel

Just went from this hotel. Reading all reviews from Bronx Hotels, gave the chance to this one. Magnificent choice. We always stay in Manhattan so is unfair to compare it with the Roosevelt. Pleasant stay, clean rooms with safe, coffee maker, little fridge, big flat tv. The bed and pillows very comfortable. The included breakfast is decent. All the hotel have VERY STRONG wi-fi. The D line of subway is 205 St Norwood. This line takes you directly to Rockefeller Center, to 42 St Bryant Park and to 34 St near The Empire State, Macy's and Penn Station. This line ends in Coney Island. All of this is just 5 blocks from the hotel.I felt secure walking at night. The Police Station is close. The bus stop almost in front of hotel. 41 is the bus you have to take. Easy reach Taxis 24 hours (black or grey cars, not yellow). For those whit cars: Parking very small with just 4 or 5 spaces. Gas station in front with convenience store and Dunkin Donuts. We were very satisfied with the stay. The only complaint could be the cigarette odor in the hall. But this is because the floor have smoking rooms. But once in your room, you wont feel it. Don't let that the little lobby affects your perception. Very clean, good service from the employees, free breakfast, free wi-fi and good location for a great price. In New York City you wont find all of this for a better price.
