Hotels near New York Skyports Seaplane Base - NYS, New York

Long Island City is a very mixed neighbourhood - industrial, working class, and areas being gentrified. Not everyone would feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood. But there is hip stuff developing.

Need to stay at more places and explore more around Brooklyn, mainly explored Manhattan rather than Brooklyn so cannot say much for now. Can only say that DUMBO is an amazing place and everyone that can visit there should visit.

I had a wonderful trip to NYC! I walked all around Times Square. We saw all of the stores in their Christmas beauty! Macy's didn't disappoint. It's always so much fun to shop there and enjoy the holiday! We ate at the Brooklyn Delicatessen! It was delicious! We had a coffee and treats at the Starbucks in Macy's. I shopped at Clarks. The staff there are wonderful! I shopped at Target and TJMAXX too.

Great location and a reasonably comfortable bed, with basic coffee/shower amenities—that’s where the positives end. Housekeeping was disorganized (no English, gave me a duvet insert with no cover and never delivered it over three days; didn’t make the bed, didn’t restock coffee pods, no trash liners). Free Wi-Fi was ~10 Mbps and too slow for most apps. Not recommended.

We loved Brooklyn! Manhattan was nice to see but it was crazy busy. We stayed in Red Hook and we enjoyed using the ferry’s and subway. We felt safe walking around we found great restaurants and nice people. If we ever come back to New York we will definitely stay in Brooklyn. We loved going to the Brooklyn Bridge Park, Time out market place, Mark’s pizza, The Lobster pound both in Red Hook. Red Hook is within walking distance to the Brooklyn cruise terminal.

We stayed 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the New York Thanksgiving & Christmas buzz. Subway excellent for getting around. The Macy's parade was brilliant - we managed to get ring side positions. Weather was good - a bit cold but blue skies. Central park lovely with Autumn colours. Free trip to Staten Island on the ferry - good view of the Statue of Liberty enroute. Visited the 9/11 memorial and the Oculus centre. Rained one day so the Natural History Museun beckoned. Fantastic museum -0 barely scratched the surface!!!
