Our arrival at the hotel was great. The hotel, is situated in a nice little neighborhood pocket called Greenpoint in Brooklyn. While still somewhat industrial, the area is quiet and very pedestrian friendly. There are a few Deli/convenience type stores around, and some small bars down Manhattan Ave, for quick food, snacks and drinks. A quick 10 minute walk across the Pulaski bridge brings you to Vernon-Jackson subway, which will take you straight to Grand Central or Times Sq. on the 7 train. The bridge is also nice photo op., as the NYC skyline unfolds itself directly in front of you - check it out! They also offer a shuttle service between the hotel and the Subway (Vernon-Jackson or Greenpoint stations).

The hotel is very comfortable, and the staff were very courteous and helpful. Our room (Duplex w/patio), was exactly as described and shown in the photos, only somewhat smaller due to the wide-angle photos. The rooms and the hotel are very clean, and they made a lot of effort to make you feel comfortable. One item to remember, they have a no-noise policy, which is necessary, since the walls are not too thick and the sound travels between rooms. Having a kitchen was also a nice feature - we were able to store some cold drinks and other food goods for the next day(s) excursions into the city.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Box House Hotel.
