All You Need To Make Your Stay In NYC Unforgettable
Step 1: Book your tours in advance to secure your spot.
Many of the best experiences in NYC sell out quickly, so it’s better to reserve early. The best platform to reserve tours, in our opinion, is Viator.
You can book tours, activities, and unique experiences across the city—from food tours to skyline views and hidden local gems—often at great prices.
Step 2: Download any of the services you might need

Step 3: Read important information about your stay and connect to our Wi-Fi
Important:
Check-in time is at 3:00 PM. If you arrive earlier, please let us know so you can drop off your luggage.
Because the space is usually booked back-to-back, early check-in is often not possible, as we need enough time to thoroughly clean and prepare the room to make sure everything is very clean and ready for you.
Check-out time is at 11:00 AM. If your flight leaves later and you need a little more time, feel free to let us know. You’re welcome to leave your bags with us and pick them up later in the day.
You can also hang out in the shared spaces for a bit before heading to the airport.
We just ask that the room itself be vacated by 11:00 AM so we have enough time to clean and prepare it for the next guest.

Batsu
What makes this unique: Live comedy game show where contestants compete in outrageous challenges—only to face hilarious punishments when they fail.

Expect laughs, surprises, and maybe even a few flying noodles. They serve sushi, but is not the best. MAKE SURE TO BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE.
