Amber

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
We had to wait 45 minutes after check-in time for our room. That was frustrating when we were tired from traveling. They rent out the top floor for a party. We had kids and were one floor underneath. The music was so loud we couldn’t hear the tv and the kids couldn’t sleep until that party ended at 11. While the hotel did offer us a smaller room for that night, we declined. With so many hotels being around Queens, we will definitely book another one next time. It wasn’t a terrible stay, just meh.

Free coffee was great. Staff were great. Place did seem a bit old. Elevators were super slow like they need to be fixed. Close to subways. Close to some nice food places (within a 5 minute walk). Sound from the street easily got in as the windows were well insulated from sound. I'd stay here again as a more affordable but close to city by subway. Good location to go running around Roosevelt island.

Dear Keoni,Thank you for your feedback.We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.We will look into the elevator slowness, but depending on time of day, with us being sold out often on the weekends, it can be slow as many people are attempting to access them.

Had a nice stay at the Boro Hotel. We were only there for two nights and were out and about throughout the day but it met our expectations for the time we were there. Very minimalist rooms and very quiet which was nice. Check in was easy and quick. I would stay there again as it was very convenient to the train and Manhattan.

Wonderful staff and cleanly. However pictures farrrrr sell this place. Everything feels super cheap and comparable to sleeping in an abandoned auto shop. I couldn’t catch a night of sleep on what felt like cardboard! And paid 30$ for a “rose petal” setup that made my boyfriend and I burst out in laughter due to the one pack of faux roses from dollar general that were thrown on the bed. Could change the channel on the tv because the cable box was place improperly; which management was aware of. I was instructed to get up and point the remote in a certain angle. Basically we made the best of it.

Dear Mellisa,Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry we did not meet your expectations on your stay with us. We will use your feedback to improve the guest experience for our future guests. The reason why we (a lot of hotels actually) do not use real rose pedals is because the color transfers to the linen and is then nearly impossible to remove.

Comfortable, not a 4-star hotel
The industrial aesthetic and environmental no frills considerations of the Boro Hotel make it efficient. The room was clean and comfortable. However, the furniture, environment, and amenities are not what I would expect for a 4-star hotel. I felt that the nearby Hyatt and Hilton Home2Suites (where I have also stay in the past 3 months) were more comfortable. This was a little disappointing for my 4-star splurge.
