Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Franklin Guesthouse is hands-down the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in NYC. Spacious, modern suites with gorgeous bathrooms and full kitchens. The staff (special shout-out to Valentina, Melanie, and Carlos) treat you like family. Safe neighborhood, great restaurants nearby, and the subway just a block away. Bonus: 24-hour sauna! I left heartbroken to go home—this place is perfect. If Franklin is booked, check their sister property The Box House Hotel. Otherwise, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere.

Do not stay at this hotel. The staff is rude, it has a musty smell and the rooms look out onto a cement wall. I did not feel safe here and switched hotels.

Arrived after 10pm coming from Manhattan. Circled around the area for more than one hour finding no available street parking spot. The parking garage in the area were also totally filled. Ended up not checking in this hotel and had to leave and find other staying places. Totally wasted the time and money.

Stayed in a lower level “deluxe studio suite” with Patio. More bomb shelter than a nice place to stay, very little natural light. Patio is a joke and is very, very small. Found a cockroach in the bathroom sink one morning. Another morning was awoken by an 6 a.m. alarm caused by an irate delivery person trying to open an emergency exit. Would not recommend. Very expensive for the experience. Their sister hotel, The Box, is much nicer and just down the street.

Great location, very clean and comfortable. Nice to have a kitchenette although could be a little better equipped. The bed was on the noisy side if you’re not just sleeping in it. Would recommend for a solo traveller, maybe check elsewhere if you’re looking for romance.

Lovely property, things that should be on their website should be where parking is available as the hotel does not have parking. Ask for a hour extra check out was told there is a cost involved.
