Staying at Ruth and Gauvain’s was a great experience. Gauvain was there to help check me in, and afterwards was smooth sailing. The only thing is the locks can be tricky at times, but with patience I was able to get it down.
Overall though, the room was nice and big and had a heater which was great for my winter stay and all amenities were provided to me. Both Ruth and Gauvain were great people and communicative. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay not too far from Manhattan, I’d definitely suggest booking with them!
