Z Nyc Hotel

ROOFTOP BAR REVIEW! I didn't stay here but I went to the rooftop bar and it is worthy of this review! You can see that the rooms would also have incredible views but if the hotel itself is above your budget still be sure to check out The Cellar Bar on the rooftop! I had went to another rooftop bar in Manhattan and was not satisfied and ended up here. It is a very close walk from the subway station in a pretty safe feeling but quiet neighborhood. When I was there it wasn't crowed, there was a live DJ and a very good mix of music to suit anyone. You can walk all the way around the rooftop and see incredible views from any angle. I do believe that this was my favorite spot in the city. We found reclining chairs next to the wall and sat back, relaxed and took the city in. This is a must do for anyone looking for a rooftop experience, I promise you won't be disappointed! There is no cover charge and drinks average around $15 but the view is priceless! I didn't hear a dress code mentioned and most people looked fairly comfortable, no one was particularly overdressed, very laid back bar.

Lobby and lower lobby bar/lounge/restaurant are great. Love the decor and setup. Staff is very helpful and welcoming. They have a free shuttle that takes you across the bridge and drops you off in the middle of some great shopping and picks you back up. The views are amazing. Rooms are small, the cleaning could have been better, as well as some of the towels and furniture are tattered.

I stayed at this hotel for the view which did not disappoint. The view was amazing. Another positive was that the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately that is where the positive things end. My first shock was when I got off the elevator and started to my room. The hallways are not heated and enclosed with some weird plastic with holes in it. The room itself was average size for New York. Plenty of room for 2 people. The bathroom was extremely small. The room had a safe and mini fridge however the mini fridge did not cool very well. My drinks would have stayed cooler if I had placed them in the hallway. No coffee maker in the room. Asked for washcloths the second day there but never received them. If you plan on using the subway be warned. It is a fairly long walk. Overall I'm glad I stayed here for the experience of the view but next time in New York I will stay elsewhere. There are much better options in Long Island City.
