Packanack Lake Holidays from AU$3,576

The room way tiny, but that’s NYC. For the price it was perfect. It’s an older building, but the location was perfect and for the price I’d stay again!

good size room and bathroom with all necessities. minimal interactions with staff, which some people might prefer. people working there are very nice and helpful. location is amazing. some surfaces in the room were very dusty and the bathroom had a moldy smell.

I really enjoyed my stay. Breakfast was good and we had a great city view. Very clean as well.

Room was clean and very quiet.

Our stay was definitely just OK. I though Aloft was a higher level brand than places like Fairfield, Springhill Suites, Hyatt Place, Best Western...but it's really not. The room was tiny and there is no desk/chair setup—if you are looking to WFH in your room, this is not the place for you. The king bed was comfortable, the big windows are nice with the city view, and the nightstands have tech plugs (very convenient). The coffee machine was old style; wasn't expecting Nespresso but at least a Keurig would have been nice. Towels were thin. Location (Garden District) is excellent for getting everywhere. The 1 is at the end of the block, the N/R/E/C/M etc were all a block or two away. But for dinner or late night drinks, this neighborhood is not the place to go. Definitely quiet at night, though safe if you're getting back late. Staff were all very nice and friendly. I requested a late checkout and they gave me till noon, which was perfect. And in all the dozens and dozens of hotels I have ever stayed at, 3-5 stars, I have never until now been charged to hold my luggage! $3 for a backpack and $6 for a suitcase. Sure didn't feel like tipping on top of that :/ Would I stay again? Not likely. In this neighborhood I have stayed at other places that were much better.
