The Box House is an incredible find. Having kitchen facilities in a hotel setting with daily room service made our nearly two-week stay so much easier. The hotel is at the northern tip of Greenpoint and the only location issue is distance from nearest G and 7 subway stops (partially overcome by the driver service provided for guests by the lovely Felix). There is an excellent supermarket at the end of the block, and lots of great places to get third-wave coffee, eat and drink.
The room itself is large, with the bedroom nook almost a separate room. There are large screen TVs in both the bedroom and living space. The kitchen is stocked with pretty much all basic utensils you'll need.
We were snowed in for an extra day at the end and the staff on the night we found out (Nicole and David) quickly organised an extension for us, with no hassles and friendly smiles.
Given how expensive and small modern NYC hotels are, the Box House loft suites are a find that shouldn't be passed up, especially for a longer stay.
