Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Tropical style room, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect in the heart of Harlem. But you know what? Sometimes the most surprising places end up being exactly what you need. This three-star spot on West 139th Street turned out to be one of those hidden gems that locals probably know about but tourists haven’t discovered yet.

The whole vibe here is refreshingly different from your typical New York hotel experience. I mean, we’re talking about a place that actually commits to its tropical theme without going completely overboard with plastic palm trees and fake parrots. The rooms have this laid-back Caribbean influence that somehow works perfectly in Harlem – think warm colors, natural textures, and just enough character to make you forget you’re in the concrete jungle for a while. The air conditioning actually works well (crucial in summer), and honestly, after walking around the neighborhood all day, it’s nice to come back to somewhere that feels like a little retreat.

What really impressed me was how the staff seemed to genuinely know the area. They pointed me toward some incredible soul food spots within walking distance that I never would have found otherwise, and when I mentioned wanting to check out some jazz venues, they had actual recommendations instead of just handing me a generic tourist map. The neighborhood itself is fascinating if you take time to explore – you’re close enough to Marcus Garvey Park for morning runs, and the subway connections are actually pretty solid once you figure out the rhythm of the trains. Sure, it’s not midtown, but that’s exactly the point. You get a real sense of what this part of the city is actually like, plus you’re saving money that you can spend on the amazing restaurants and music venues nearby. The rooms are clean and comfortable enough, though don’t expect luxury finishes – it’s more about the experience and location than thread counts and marble bathrooms.

Comfortable stay with a great host — just keep in mind it’s a bit far from central areas.

Overall, we had a good stay! The room was very cute, the bed super comfy, and everything was spotless — very clean and cozy. When the toilet had a minor issue, the host responded instantly and fixed it quickly, which we really appreciated.

What could be improved: The building itself felt a bit sketchy at first — the main doors were broken and left open, which didn’t help the first impression. The neighborhood (Harlem) felt a bit intimidating at night, although we didn’t have any problems, and people were generally kind and welcoming. It’s a colorful, cultural area, but safety was a little hard to gauge at first. Also, the subway stops were farther than we expected, so we often felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the city.

Good

Liked the cleanliness. The Bathroom was equipped with everythig that is needed for an ideal bathroom. Not much space in the closet to store the clothes, but does the job.

What could be improved: You need to pay extra $30 to use the kitchen. Unsure if the extra amount was really necessary to use a basic aminity.

Very comfortable stay and the best value for money in Manhattan

Very nicely decorated, in particular with a screen emulating a fireplace and playing Christmas carols. A lot of thought had gone into the decor and it made the stay actually very comfortable
