City Island Nautical Museum

Just got back from our 4 nights stay at Hotel 57 and it far exceeded our expectations! While the room IS smaller than most hotel rooms nationwide- this IS NYC! We had a double bed vs our usual King - BUT .. still had the big screen TV AND a BIG closet, AND a NICE bathtub/ shower combo! Which we don’t always get in other places! They provided “large size” pump shampoo/conditioner/body wash that is “mid to semi high end” quality!! And pump lotion (very nice citrus quality) beside the sink. There is also a hairdryer/ iron and board in room. Coffee maker and coffee/ ice bucket (ice machines every other floor) and filtered water available at the gym!!! We especially LOVED that you had to have your room key to even use the elevator- therefore, ONLY quests could access them! STAFF was VERY friendly! Smiles and greeting every time we saw one! Always asking how we were and if we needed anything ! 5 STARS! From check in to check out! Our bed was SUPER comfy- premium duvet and pillows! And the AIR worked AWESOME!! Blackout blinds when needed and we also had a great view! NOW… the walls ARE a little thin, or maybe it is the door? As we were able to hear a lot of noise from others within the hotel on our floor- BUT- that wasn’t enough to distract from all the other GREAT 👍 things ! The BEST thing though is LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!! OMG 😱!! This hotel is LITERALLY 15-20 min walk from Central Park (we went to a concert) 25 min from Times Square!!!

This place is basic but you know that coming in. No tv in the room etc. It was clean, the bed was comfy and not too noisy. The shared bathroom was clean. The staff were really helpful - thank you so much. Will return next time I am in NYC.

Check in was fast and courteous. The room was clean and inviting. Staff was friendly.
