Top hotels in Ironbound District
Hyatt Grand Central New York
Excellent location to have access to all a tourist could want. Downside is the lack of room service, no swimming pool, and no waters in the rooms. They have an extra charge for anything extra. Overall a good place to stay if you are not spending much time at the hotel.

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown
Tiny even for NYC standards. Had to put luggage in the bathroom. The staff was so noisy at all hours. The elevator takes forever. They don’t even offer coffee in the lobby in the morning. Literally nothing good to say

Hyatt Regency Times Square
Excellent room, staff, and location. It’s in the heart of Times Square.
