This is a great room in the Box House. The bed is super comfy, the shower is great, the view is stellar (you can see the Empire State Building from bed) and you’re far away from the street (no street noise!). Having coffee and tea in the room was also a nice plus.
Like all hotels, you can sometimes hear your neighbors, but it is generally very quiet after 10pm.
I used to live in Greenpoint and think this location is perfect. However, if you’re not familiar with the area, you could potentially feel a little removed from the hustle and bustle of Williamsburg and even central Greenpoint. Keep in mind that in NYC, all good things require a bit of a brisk walk or an Uber ride :-)
Overall my stay was great!
