My family stayed here as part of a visit to the Bronx Zoo. I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's amenities (indoor pool, large lounge area with plenty of seating, TVs, bar, and excellent continental breakfast). The hotel's gym was also well equipped and clean, and there was a nice outdoor patio with seating to enjoy your morning coffee on nice days.
Our room was clean and as expected. We had a broken alarm clock/radio, one of the lightbulbs over the nightstand was out, and the toilet 'ran'/was noisy for awhile after flushing. We were only there one night, but we did tell the staff about these issues which they said they would take care of.
We were within a short drive of a couple of excellent restaurant options, which was also a plus.
Overall, this was an enjoyable stay for our needs. If 4 1/2 stars was an option, that's what I would pick, as our only 'issues' were the few broken items in the room. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area!
