- TiffanyajmPortland, Oregon1 contributionPleasant surprise and hidden gemThis was a last minute trip for a family emergency, but also right next to one of my company’s locations. I was able to kill two birds with one stone. Perfectly centrally located. It’s away from things enough to mingle with locals, but close to everything you could want. Service was impeccable. They’re furnished apartments, not a regular hotel. I completely lucked out with a 1 bedroom deluxe that’s not advertised. I’ve never stayed in NYC in a place so spacious. Highly recommend!!!Visited June 2023Written July 5, 2023
- uatraveler2018Columbus, Ohio3 contributionsEast Side choice for NY VisitorsThis was a good choice for an extended stay in NYC. The layout provided more than just a bedroom and the kitchen was a bonus. It is an older building but has been refreshed. The workout room was good and not crowded. It is a great location with a neighborhood feel and lots of good restaurants within easy walking distance. It provides easy access to midtown either by walking or taxi.Visited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten July 31, 2023
- wyckoffcomNew York City, New York1 contributionHappy family reunion. Below you don't list adult family reunionTotally terrific. Wonderful time. Would have loved to have stayed longer. Felt like being in a home rather than a hotel. But, of course, with Aunt living in the coop next door, it was like an extension of her place.Visited October 2023Written November 1, 2023
- ZacharyWest1948Urraween, Australia1 contributionExceptional place to stay in NYC, close to everything, quiet, great view, GREAT staffFinding a relatively reasonably priced, comfortable accommodation in NYC is not easy. The Beekman Tower was exceptional in most regards: relatively quiet and convenient location, fantastic view, GREAT staff, well appointed kitchen facilities. The only letdown was the ridiculously small towels...this would have given them a full 5 stars.Visited November 2023Written November 9, 2023

- mgbtf2 contributionsClean, quiet apartments in good neighborhoodVery nice hotel with great apartments. The surroundings are rather safe. The trafic is heavy and for that reason earplugs when sleeping is a necessity. There were coffee machine, fridge, freezer, iron, gas cooker and plates etc for 4 persons in our apartment. There was a livingroom with TV and table for 5 persons, sofa and armchair. There was a sleepingroom with one bed for two persons. The restroom had shower. It was clean and everythin worked well. I highly recommend Beekman Tower.Visited April 2024Written May 8, 2024

Park offers fantastic views of Midtown Manhattan that you simply cannot miss. The walking course takes about 45 minutes and follows the East River waterfront. The park also includes the famous Pepsi neon sign as well the Long Island Ferry dock sign. Its only one subway stop from Grand Central Station, very accessible for those staying in Manhattan. The views are worth a quick trip out to Long Island City.

The property is excellently located near the UN, a 24 hour deli and a lot of great restaurants. Staff is friendly, especially Aymen. The studio appartment is very well equipped and Internet connection is good. I highly recommedn it for this part of town where hotels tend to be expensive. Only hick is no brekfast but right across the street, there is a great place to have brekfast at a very good price. I plan to stay here again when I come to my UN meetings.

I love this state park and have been coming here for years, every summer. With beautiful views of Midtown Manhattan and the heart of the history of LIC behind it, a walk along the waterfront is wonderful during the summer months. My most recent visit was in July just after the fireworks. It was a hot summer day and the breeze along the promenade made it a memorable stop to just relax. The park is a must for anyone coming or living in Queens.

So easy to walk around and such a beautiful view! I walked here by myself as an out of town guest and was stunned by the view and all the commotion on a Thursday evening. I especially liked the walking path around the lake. A highlight of my trip!

Gantry park was beautiful 6 years ago , however now the nasty dirty food trucks took over and its horrible. The neighborhood has turned into a 24 hour carnival . Be aware of the rats looking for food all over the floor .

I'm sorry, I don't know... It doesn't have gates or anything, but it may be posted to close at nite. People jog there though so, I would assume it opens very early.

how far is the park from the greyhound bus depot?
Antoinette S

Take the #7 subway right at the Bus station. Stay on three stops heading to Queens. Exit at Vernon-Jackson Station which is 50th St. Walk two blocks to the river. You will see the Empire State Building in front of you. Less than 20 minutes for the whole trip.
