The Box House Hotel is wonderful, frankly. It was comfortable, elegant, unique, and perfect for my new husband and I for our wedding weekend. The staff was fantastic and very friendly. We stayed in a room with a terrace, which looked out at the bridge that connects Queens and Brooklyn, so it didn't have an exceptional view by any means. But it was large and nice to sit out and have a beer or eat breakfast. We had an entire kitchen, with convection oven and stove top, which made me want to cook - but I didn't. We did use the dishes, though, and they were washed every day by housekeeping.

Three things to note: 1) as far as I can tell, there is no elevator, so if you have mobility issues you should tell the hotel so they can book you in an appropriate room; when we arrived, we were personally escorted to our room by Mr. Singh, who carried our bags up the stairs for us and told us the history of the hotel, which was lovely; 2) there's no phone in the room, so you have to call the front desk from your cellphone, which was strange but worked; and 3) there was a 3-night minimum, which was a bummer for a lot of our wedding guests who would have loved to stay there with us but only for two nights.
