254 East Vacation

( 3 stars , New York , United States )

Loved the location I recently stayed 2 nights in the back 1st floor apartment (with the patio) and 2 nights in the front 1st floor apartment (the loft). Both were very nice but very different. The patio apartment has plenty of room for 2 unrelated people but might be close for 4 people. The kitchen is small but works. The loft will also sleep 4 and the two sleeping areas are at either end of the room. The loft seems to have been redone recently and has a wonderful kitchen. I stayed here because my daughter lives nearby. The location is wonderful for dining, shopping, etc. I did not meet Danny but he was always available by phone and was kind enough to have my luggage switched from room to room when I was out. I did not have any problems with feeling safe - the neighborhood is very safe. Also, there are bottles of soap and shampoo. I really enjoyed my stay and would stay there again!

Your own place in NYC Doc Watsons on 2nd Ave (2 blocks away)

good value apartment Buy a metrocard,very good value for money,we used ours as often as 3 times a day.

Would stay again BedRoom was lovely and big and very nicely decorated, loads more room than Ive ever had before in a NY hotel room. The kitchenette was small, but had all that we needed. Nice big fridge, great for chilling the beer! Bathroom was old, but clean and shower was powerful. Nice neighbourhood and a few blocks away from the subway. Lots of deli's and eating place around it. Would certainly stay again.

Stay Away Things looked good until I looked in the tub, dead bugs and mildew on the shower curtain! When I called for service they never showed up. By morning there where more dead bugs! lets just say I’m getting ready to book my next stay and you guessed it, I won’t be staying in this filthy place. Warning : Keep your lights on!!

Great Location and Relatively Affordable The best part about this "hotel" is the location and affordability. We loved the room but carrying luggage up 5 flights of stairs may be a problem. The room was nicely decorated (very comfortable bed) but needs a few things to be more practical - like some drawers where you can put your clothes and another chair for sitting down to have a quick meal. Has a small kitchenette.

Nice place to stay. 254 East Vacation is a nice area of Manhattan to stay. It is not recommended for a high maintenance person, though. No maid service is offered etc.

loft near the park Eat at the mediteranean restaurant at 3rd and 81st. Great for lunch. Wonderful flavors. Close to the metropolitan museum of art.

Quaint Stay in NYC I stayed at 254 East Vacation for almost a week and had a pretty good time. It’s not quite a hotel and not quite a bed and breakfast. So, if you want either of those, I might suggest looking somewhere else. However, if you’re looking for a more authentic stay in New York City, then this might be the location for you. 254 East Vacation is tucked away on the upper west side, just a few blocks from the subway. I enjoyed its perfect location; just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of midtown to find decently priced food and drinks. It was also important for me to find a quiet place that I could escape to at the end of busy day of sightseeing. It was nice to see a large room that fit two full sized beds comfortably. The room had a small sitting area, which had a foldout couch, and there was also a kitchenette. The Bathroom was a good size and the water stayed hot enough for three separate showers a day. I’ve noticed some people complaining about walking up the stairs. They were narrower then I’m used to. So, if you have rather wide baggage, you might want to request the first or second floor. Don’t expect house-keeping to come around and clean up after you, change your sheets or provide you with clean towels (unless you phone them, your on your own) The bathroom really could use some renovating, not that it was especially dirty, it was just really aged. All in all, I had a great experience at 254 East Vacation and I would seriously consider staying here again.

Great stay! on our last night we went to this little resturaunt called candle cafe. it was fantastic! it was vegetarian and all the food was organic. our meals were not too expensive, and once we devoured them they were worth every penny.
