"Times Square Nugget"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 6, 2012
We really enjoyed our stay. We stayed for a week and were glad to find a hotel right in the heart of Times Square. The service was definitely top notch! The front desk was courteous and the concierge was very helpful, recommending great shows and restaurants. Our room was nice. It could've been a little larger. But the bathroom was a good size and the size of the TV's and the fact that they played HD was a bonus. Also, the bed was quite comfortable. The cleaning staff did a fine job of keeping up the room. I'll definitely recommend this hotel to others.
"Consistency. You can depend on it."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 6, 2012
Finding a "GOOD THING" these days can get harder and harder. For this reason when you come across a 'good thing" it is priceless. One of the most recent "good things " that I have come across is the PARAMOUNT hotel in Times Square. The first thing that I leave the hotel impressed by is the professionalism and commitment that is demonstrated by the staff. Starting with the front desk where I was checked in by Catherine and continuing until the driver which I received at the hotel hands me my luggage at the airport. Catherine followed the details of my visit until the moment I checked out. The only dislike that I had which eventually i got over was the view of the alley where the boiler or some loud machine was placed. I know that from now on I will request a room that faces anywhere but there. If you are going to New York and plan on taking in Broadway there could not be a more perfect location. I love this hotel so much I find myself wanting to travel to NYC more. I cannot wait until my next visit to the PARAMOUNT which I hope will be in the next few weeks.
"Another Good Experience"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
My wife and I have stayed at the Courtyard in Mahwah three of the last four years to attend the NEAF astronomy show at the Rockland Community College in Suffern, just a few minutes away. We've always had good a experience and this stay was no different. The recent renovations definitely spruced the hotel up. The pool and spa area was nice, although the acoustics in the room left my ears ringing after a group of children in the pool were not using their "indoor voices." Our room was very clean, everything worked well, including the internet connection (which is a wired connection) and having a Dunkin Donuts right next door makes a stay here worthwhile in my humble opinion! Just grab a coffee and a bagel sandwich and go. The rates are competitive with other hotels in the area. If someone on here rates the hotel low, they must be comparing it to a five-star city hotel or maybe a destination resort. It's not that, but it is a clean and decent place to stay while traveling for business or short-term pleasure. I believe we will stay there again next year.
"Affordable Quickie in NY"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
We had a very good time and the hotel was close to work.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Very nice hotel, within walking distance to subway for access to Manhattan (take the 7 or E and you can get to grand central, times square, penn station). Just a few blocks to local restaraunts. The room was very clean, excellent staff, free shuttle to subway. Overall an excellent place to stay if your touring new york city. One note, if you are considering a "view room" save your money, the view is obstructed by a number of taller buildings (the hotel is only 7 floors). Overall an excellent experience and I would definitely stay again, especially at the rate because of the new hotel discount. If you plan to take a cab from the hotel call one yourself because the service the hotel uses charges a flat rate to specific areas and you can get a cab on your own for cheaper generally.
You'll feel right at home when you stay in New York at the New York Renaissance Home, a quaint gem of a restoration in Harlem. This 7-room bed and breakfast caters to travelers seeking comfort and hominess--with easy access to nearby Harlem historic sites and bustling Midtown, about 5 miles south. A quick half-mile walk will take you to 2 subway stations offering an easy trip to Midtown or just about anywhere else in the city.
If you spend the day in Harlem, a 5-minute cab ride can take you to a host of exciting attractions. See a show at the historic Apollo Theater, home of the original Showtime at the Apollo variety show. Or get an up-close look at African-American art at the Studio Museum in Harlem. For a trip back in time, visit the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest house in the borough of Manhattan and one-time headquarters for both the British Loyalist and Colonist sides in the American Revolution. Bill's Place, a renovated brownstone and now a BYOB jazz club and museum, makes a rollicking good way to wind up your day.
Built in 1904, New York Renaissance Home is in the quiet neighborhood of Hamilton Heights, where wealthy urbanites once had summer homes. Feast on complimentary continental breakfast each morning, and you'll enjoy some of the genteel living of previous occupants. You can still see the building's erudite origins in the tastefully appointed front porch, garden and patio areas, and guestrooms, where you'll be greeted with complimentary treat baskets upon arrival. Each air-conditioned room features ornate décor and complimentary wireless Internet access. Some rooms have private bathrooms, while guests in other rooms have use of shared bathrooms. In each room, you can relax in front of the TV, which comes with cable channels and a DVD player. Video games are available upon request. Feeling social? Head to the house's common living room or patio to mingle and unwind.

"Ny Renaissance house--the piano room"
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. Overall, the place is satisfactory. We stayed in the Piano Room, located on the second floor, front side of house. The half bath that was supposed to be "ours" was tiny, shared with many, as it was off the dining room. One has to walk across the landing and across the dining room to get to the half bath.There […] was no mirror in the half bath, and the sink had rocks in it-tried to play off as decorative, but I'm pretty sure they were covering something up. The shower is located on the fourth floor-nice, claw foot tub, two sinks. There was one hairdryer mounted on the wall-made me glad I brought my own-would hate to know someone had to wait because I had to dry my hair. The bedroom itself was nice. The bed was comfy. The room had no overhead light, just lamps. The shades didn't close. There is baby grand piano in the room-with a sign on it stating that you cannot touch it, sit anything on it, etc. - or you would be charged a $4000 fine. With that stipulation, the room felt unwelcoming and that we were intruding. By the way, there was no mention of this stipulation when the reservation was made. The piano took up a lot of space in the room-space that could have been used to put something to hang your clothes in. The breakfast was okay-pretty standard. The staff at breakfast was very friendly. The location--Our first night there, the house was broken into. There was no staff on site when this happened. There was no outright mention of it, I just put two and two together from the sounds I heard that night (yelling, someone trying to come into our room) and comments from the two staff members the next morning. I inquired about it and told them what I had heard. There was a new lock the bedroom door when I returned that evening. We were never asked if we were okay, was anything missing, etc. after the break in. Another thing on the location-you have to walk up a very steep hill from 135th St subway station. After walking over most o Read more

"NY Renaissance Home - Close to CCNY"
Just a very short walk to City College of New York. The hotels is a very old building (with creaks and tricky door locks) but they offer a spacious room and a very comfortable bed. Broadway is also near by with plenty of places to eat. I didn't see the hotel manager on site a lot, but she was always available by phone, and was very helpful.
Beautiful rooms, great breakfast but we couldn't find anyone to check out with who spoke English. It was kind of weird because we could have stayed in our room over check out time and no one would have known. Otherwise, it was very immaculate and homey. We were overall happy. A little out of the way since it is closer to Harlem. Not a lot of restaurants […] around but some beautiful churches. Read more
"The New York Renaissance Home"
Really beautiful rooms, I stayed in the Blue room which looks like a room out of some historic rich lord/duke's room at a mansion/palace museum. The hotel is conveniently located 5 minutes from the City College 137th St subway station (train #1). I was there for an interview at the Columbia University hospital and it was 15 minutes door-to-door. It […] had one of the lowest rate for a 1-night stay in NYC at the shortest distance to the hospital. The neighborhood is ok, I would not say it's unsafe, but I would not walk around alone late at night. I also would recommend calling at least a day before arrival so that they will be expecting you. I stood in the front area for half and hour waiting for someone to check me in. I tried calling but only got the voicemail. One of the housestaff happened to be coming in and was surprised to see me. But I want to be clear, that the staff were very friendly always. I left early for my interview and so am unable to comment on the included breakfast. Also, be aware that the bathroom is shared for certain rooms (including the Blue room) and the heating unit in the blue room gets rather noisy at night. Read more
"Emory suite very spacious, very good for a family"
Felicia was nice enough to upgrade me to the Emory suite when she recognized me as a returning customer. I have enjoyed several of the rooms, but I have to say the Emory suite really is the best. There are two bedrooms and a sitting area, with a private outdoor patio and garden area. I was there before the holidays and the rooms were decked out with […] beautiful extra decorations. The main bedroom in the Emory suite is huge and has a giant warm radiator, wood panelling almost all the way up the walls, fireplace, and table and couchette, and I think the bed is kingsize. The second bedroom has the bathroom, electric fireplace, and two individual beds, and the french doors entering the private garden with table for 6-8 people. There is A/C for the summer, but I was there in the winter. All the beds have down comforters and featherbeds. I'm sure if you call ahead you can get the featherbeds fluffed for you to have maximum comfort. Breakfast was delicious as always. There is very interesting art and historical photos in the hallway. I am not kidding about the size of this suite. I used to live in New York City and had a "floor through" brownstone apartment. We would have been very happy to live in an apartment this size if it had a kitchen. Also, I found a more convenient way to get here that uses the A (or BCD) subway lines and the 145th street station. Walk up 145th to Convent, then down Convent to the street the guesthouse is on. The hills are less than the 137th street 1 train and the neighborhood is more picturesque. Read more
"Continues to be a nice experience"
I've stayed here several times on business. It continues to be well run.
"Elegance at The New York Renaissance Home"
We had a wonderful stay at the New York Renaissance Home. While it is a bit far from major sites, the NYRH makes up for it in comfort and elegance. Our room was lushly appointed, quiet, and full of gorgeous antiques. It was much larger than the small rooms we've stayed in before in Manhattan. They provided free snacks and amenities in the room and a […] wonderful, generous breakfast the nice day (fresh berries, salmon quiche, Belgian waffles, Chobani yogurts, fresh juice, coffee, muffins). The kindness and care of the staff and owners was apparent, and we'd happily stay here again. Highly recommended! Read more
"great value, great night sleep"
Great location for visiting CCNY. Very affordable, especially since a home-made, delicious and generous breakfast is included. The bed was extremely comfortable. B&B decorated with amazing art and antiques. Some rooms have shared bath, as ours did, but we never saw anyone coming or going. The guest house manager/cook was outgoing and helpful--she made […] the stay extra special. Read more
"Still lovely second time"
This was my second stay and the breakfast was even better, a full catered production. We had the rose room and it was very comfy and full of antiques. There was a featherbed on top of the mattress making it very plush. Convenient and comfortable, and quiet as it is away from the rush of downtown.
"A well loved home, cozy"
This reminded me of staying with my grandmother when I was in college. Cozy and quiet with a lamp by my bed and trains in the distance. Except my grandmother's house was not so big and had no such valuable and unique antiques. The owners clearly love this house and decorated it carefully, and now share it with visitors. The breakfast was ample and delicious, […] the shower was hot, the shared bathroom big and bright. The decor not only quaint but interesting and the common areas very large and grand. This is definitely a major step up from hostels, etc. The bathroom is so large, I did wonder why they didn't split it to make two, but perhaps because this was renovated to be a private house before conversion to a bed and breakfast, that explains some choices. It seems there are only about 4-5 guests maximum, so it is very quiet. A few things to know before you book: this is really like staying with someone, you need to be respectful of noise and privacy. This is an older house and has the charm and quirks of wooden floors and stairs and noise. As furniture and rugs are antique, they will not have that ikea-fresh feeling. The location is away from downtown, hence the quiet feeling, but near a few cafes and delis. Use the number 1 train or the buses on Amsterdam and Broadway to get here, or else you will have a big hill to walk up. But it is a pleasant hill featuring views of a park, "City College" and the newly relocated historical house of Alexander Hamilton "Hamilton Grange". I used to live in this neighborhood, so perhaps I am nostalgic, but I did like this place. Read more
"A great cheap option"
If you are only interested in a pampering, stop reading now. This place is a little different from your normal chain hotel, but if you want the place where you stay to be something to remember, this could be the one for you. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the rest of the building matches it. The free breakfast has great choice, and plentiful. […] It is also a good chance to meet some new people. You are only about 5 minutes from three metro lines, so getting into the tourist places is easy. The only downside is the noise of traffic and the odd creaky bit of the house, so be warned if you are a light sleeper. Read more
"The New York Renaissance Home"
After reading the reviews online I wasn't expecting the hotel to be all that. However I loved the stately feel to the place and the quiet street it was on. Did not however expect to pay a $5 deposit for sundries in the room that I may use. Nonetheless staff were friendly and breakfast was great! I sure needed the work out climbing up to my fourth floor […] room. Read more
"Value for money"
Hyggeligt og rigtig god morgenmad. Søde folk og god betjening. Bad deles med de andre værelser. Det ligger 4 minutter fra metrostation og det tager ca 15 minutter med metro til f.eks. Greenage Village.
"Hyggeligt B&B i Harlem"
Hotellet er i en klasse for sig, lige fra indretningen af værelserne til personalet. Fantastisk oplevelse, lækker morgenmad. Alt i alt en fantastisk oplevelse!!
"Un hotel con encanto en una buena zona de Harlem"
Cuando estabamos llegando al hotel no imaginabamos que ibamos a encontrar un lugar con tanto encanto. La habitación era genial, con muebles clásicos y una decoración que te transportaba en el tiempo. Felissa fue muy amable con nosotros y nos dió todo tipo de información útil sobre la ciudad.
