The Garden City Hotel

This was a beautiful hotel! Google maps said it would take longer to get to the train station, but it's literally across the street. This made going into New York City very easy. The rooms were HUGE and very clean! The hand towels had the garden city logo on them and the robes were unbelievably comfortable. The beds were great to sleep in. My wife made friends with a few of the housekeeping ladies. After a full day of traveling to get here, then waking up early to go to the city, we were in dire need of water. The housekeepers were super nice and gave us quite a few bottles!! It went a long way in terms of service. My cousin had his rehearsal dinner at this hotel. I have to say all the food was delicious. My wife is a Mac and cheese connoisseur, and she said the Mac and cheese at their pasta bar was in her top 3 EVER. The desserts that were served were just as good. I'm not sure if I'll ever have a reason to do an event at this hotel, but it is one that I will remember forever. Many of the women on my cousin's side of the family decided to get their hair and makeup done together at the salon in the hotel. They all had a ton of fun and looked beautiful! My mom and wife could not stop raving about how good everyone did. Everyone working here was very professional and clearly very good in their field.

Super comfortable beds, friendly staff. Was there for work so will definitely say it was a bit too fancy for me. Personal preference I guess. But I did feel out of place and didn’t even bother going to the hotel bar due to this reason.

I liked it but... Beautiful historic hotel that could use a freshening. Lobby, spa, restaurants are lovely, the staff is welcoming (especially Gary at the front desk and our bellhop Luis) but the rooms are faded (and we stayed in the penthouse). Small updates would make all the difference, like table lamps with outlets in them and lighter color schemes. This place ain't cheap and they can do better.

The place itself is very nice and clean, but the front desk staff was a bit un-welcoming. We felt as if they did not want us staying there. Also, make sure that you know one person in your party must be 21 or older or you will not be able to stay. They are very strict. Lastly parking was valet only, which I did not prefer, but if that’s for you then that shouldn’t be an issue.
