Pine Brook Vacations from $450

If you are a light and sensitive sleeper, bring ear plugs. I am not at all, so the rattling and squeaking window AC unit was not a problem for me. The AC unit worked so well. Never used the heater. For two full beds in the room we had a lot of floor space considering it being NY. The elevators are small and have no AC. The lounge is pretty. It’s greatly located. A short walk down to Times Square. It’s was noisy at all in the hotel and even though the beds weren’t great to sleep in, if you do NY right, it won’t matter and you will sleep just fine. They provide soft blankets to sleep with which has been a first for me and a nice touch. Safe, iron and board, tv, small table and two chairs. The bathroom was obviously small but still doable with 4 women on the trip. There is a lack of outlets so bring a power strip or something. Smooth check-in and check out. There was one staff member who seemed grumpy and we would avoid but the rest were great.

Courteous and friendly staff

Overall it was a great stay! Best part of the cottage was the bathroom with its deep big tub and walk in shower. But the room itself lacked visual appeal & some conveniences usually associated with booking a cottage which is more private and removed from the house. Could use more and better art in the room. I would also trade all the storage space for a mini fridge, tea kettle or coffee maker. Also the only full-size mirror is hidden far back in the bathroom which isn’t terrible but very inconvenient to check the outfit before heading out the door. It’s little odd things that just made it not feel like a luxury stay. And no one mentioned to us beforehand that the sauna, gym, pool area (even though in off season) was under renovation and not available to use. The restaurant was amazing though, room service was wonderful. And staff were adorable. But I don’t know if we would book again tbh.

Second visit was better then the first one.

Nice staff, lots of restaurants nearby, very comfortable bed and clean room. It was a bit noisy from traffic outside at times, but we still slept pretty good. I wish there were at least free coffee in rooms, but we were given free drink coupons which was nice and we appreciated that. Also wish there was complimentary breakfast and shuttle service to the airport, but we knew what we were getting before we booked the room and there was a specific location we needed to be close to, so the Radio Hotel worked out great. Thank you!
