Wingate by Wyndham Bronx Haven Park

We booked this hotel due to the fact it was 1/3rd of the price of all other hotels between Christmas and new year. This hotel is in the bronx but barely. If you get the express 4 or 5 line subway it will take you 15 mins to get there from grand central. Then it is a 2 minute walk from the station. The staff were friendly and welcoming on check in. We stayed on the 10th floor with a king bed. The rooms aren’t huge (space down the far side of the bed is just big enough to walk down), but well laid out and well finished. Our sink was in the room and the bathroom is made of slightly opaque glass (small toiletries were provided). If you are going with a friend make sure you are comfortable with each other! We were opposite the lift but couldn’t hear too much from there (there are only 10 rooms on that floor). Some rooms face Manhattan but you can’t see much from there. Most rooms overlook the railway lines so bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper but it didn’t bother us. The water refill station for still and sparkling water is a great addition so bring your own bottles (or reception can give you one). The Complimentary breakfast with Tea, coffee, juice, cereal, pasties, muffins and bagels was a nice added bonus.

Small but nice room. Value for money is great. Breakfast is a bonus and was better than expected. Subway is easy to reach and has express train services (approx. 20-25min to Lower Manhattan).

Our stay was very pleasant, the room was clean and had everything we needed during our trip. The hotel was well-equipped and the staff was really nice. The breakfast was great. It took us only 15-20mins to get to midtown Manhattan by subway.

The breakfast was well organized and stocked with a variety of items such as waffles, cereal, pastries, sausage biscuits, muffins and fruit. The staff was friendly and often visible. The room was compact but had the essentials. We did ask for extra towels. There was not an ice machine but both the front desk and kitchen staff gave us ice when we requested it. The room was clean as was the lobby and restrooms in the lobby. There is easy access to the subway and it is located close to the Yankee Stadium. There was a little curb market just a couple of blocks away for sodas and snacks. The hotel has a water dispenser near the elevator so you can refill water bottles. There is is small cafe inside the lobby with a limited selection but what we had was tasty. Although the location of the hotel is not in the best of areas, we felt comfortable walking to and from the subway. Uber picked us up right in front of the hotel at our departure.

A good place to stay for a few nights just outside Manhattan. The metro station was just around the corner which is super convenient. The staff was kind and very helpful. The bed were comfortable and clean. They had luggage storage under the bed, and hangers, and hooks for jackets and bags. The room was warm and the ac/heat was working great.
