Navy Lodge New York

Knocked two stars off the fact that the receptionist likes to talk over you. Not all just the heavy set older lady who works in the morning.
They only serve oatmeal — English muffins –cereal — milk and orange juice– also apples and some other pastry filled with sugar. Try getting there when breakfast begins it goes pretty fast!
This hotel has a lot of tourist visiting New York in and out everyday the parking lot is pretty full when you return at night.
They leave the coffee and hot tea out during the day so you can have something warm whenever you please.
The rooms are not bad I had the two queens with a kitchen not sure if all rooms have kitchens. I would recommend staying here during a weekend, not for an extended stay.

If you’re looking for someplace inexpensive to stay near NYC, this will do the trick. But, don’t expect anything great. As far as military lodges go, the place is about average. But, compared to commercial facilities, its definitely below average.
The front desk staff was friendly. The hotel was clean during our visit. Our room was updated and comfortable. And the view of the nearby Narrows Bridge is pretty cool. However, as others have noted, the continental breakfast was terrible. And the facility isn’t really conveniently located for sightseeing in NYC; 10 – 15 min drive to the Staten Island Ferry (traffic dependent), $ 10 – 15 for parking (depending upon where you park), 30 min ferry ride, and then a subway ride or walk to the sights you want to see. Note, the lodge and ferry station are both in a lousy part of town. Though we felt safe at the lodge and walking to/​from parking at the ferry, its not an area you want to wander around, especially at night.
We’d stay again if we needed an inexpensive option. But, we’d first look across the river in NYC.

Good value for moderately easy access to Manhattan and the location. In need of painting the room doors, hall carpet cleaning, and replacement of blankets. All else is clean. Staff is friendly. Parking and area is safe and secure.

For place to stay close to the ferry, and relatively close to Manhattan, this is a great place. Rooms were very clean and they provided us with an air mattress to accommodate our extra person.
The price was very doable for a family of 5 staying in NYC for a night, and not wanting to break the bank at a hotel in Manhattan.
We did wish we knew ahead of time that there would be a mini kitchen in the room, because we ended up not getting the food we wanted for pick up. So a good thing for future guests to know, they do have a mini kitchen. Stove, microwave, sink, and fridge. Everything seems to be recently updated, which is a pleasant surprise!
Overall not too shabby! We’re definitely coming here for our future New York endeavors.

Amazing hotel, spacious room, kitchen, continental breakfast, great beds and great front desk. Public transportation just at the end of the driveway to take you to the ferry to Manhattan. Enjoyed my stay here emensly.

Excellent accommodations great location, what an outstanding view of the Varrezzano bridge. Wonderful staff, very accommodating. Great experience. The hostess, Patricia, is very helpful, very friendly & welcoming. Outstanding service. At night we had a chance to sit outside on the adoraindack chairs, sipping wine, enjoying the view of the lighted Varrezzano bridge & the planes coming & going flying over the bridge it was a majestic view. The lodge is clean, in the morning the hotel supplies a complimentary continental breakfast, cereal, fruit, toast, danish, oatmeal, yogurt nice variety to choose from. The room has a galley kitchen fully equipped. Great experience.

Great stay. Our room was nicely remodeled and the kitchen addition is very nice. Everything was clean and organized. Patricia was very helpful and friendly.

Excellent customer service from the day I made a reservation on the phone, to the day I checked out, Patricia at the front desk was a pleasure from day one! The rooms are super clean and one of the nicest Navy Lodge’s we’ve ever stayed at… and we’ve stayed at a lot of Navy Lodge’s. Thank you Patricia and Sandy for helping make our trip to NYC a memorable one!

For the city, it was inexpensive, clean, and nicely furnished. The addition of a full kitchen with all of the pots and pans you will need was a plus, as we had the ability to save money by cooking our own food (should we chosen to do so). Plenty of parking (in a safe, secure area) which was a plus. Fast access to NJ and Ferry (about 12 mins by car).
All in all, my wife and I enjoyed our stay and will come back again.

MAY 2013
Arrived VERY late, front desk stated they did not have our reservation & there are no more rooms available. WTH? (Aggravated because we just flew coast to coast, it’s 11pm and I have a copy of reservation printed from the Navy Lodge website.)
After diligently searching the reservation system for over 10 minutes, guess what… she found it.
Ok, now onto the next!
Definitely not CLUB MED.
Room: Average
Bed Convertibility: Mehhhh!
Noise Level: THERE IS A GROUND FLOOR! AND FOR PRACTICAL REASONS THIS IS WHERE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN SHOULD BE ASSIGNED TO!
Amenities: few
Location: On a old Army Fort converted into a Coast Guard station.
Perks: We got to see some deer running around & there is a small MWR office so we were able to get % tickets for NYC activities..
Not too much to see here. About a 10 minute drive to the Staten Island Ferry terminal. (Parking @ ferry $ 9.00 per day)
Ferry ride to Manhattan is a absolute TREAT!
Continental breakfast SUCKED! Wrapped danishes & muffins, orange juice & coffee. We ate breakfast elsewhere.
Hotel still recovering from Superstorm Sandy. It felt a bit, well needed some attention!
The rate is on the cheap cheap, which is GREAT if your traveling to NYC but don’t get your hopes up too high. Its just a decent place to stay if traveling to NYC!

I stayed here alone with my three daughters. Felt very safe. The room had a kitchenette with full fridge. Ride to the manhattan ferry was less than 10 minutes. 8 $ for a full day to park at ferry. Awesome views of manhattan from the base. It’s typical base lodging. Not a resort, but perfect for price and had everything we needed.

I wouldn’t classify it as a dive per se, but it definitely didn’t measure up to our usual experiences in military lodging. This was our second stay, and the place seems to have deteriorated a bit in the past few years. The sad thing is that it wouldn’t really cost that much to give this place a face lift & change it into something more along the lines of the other Armed Forces Recreation Center resorts.
The good news is the price — $ 93/​night, and no taxes, which is a huge deal, especially in NYC. The Staten Island Ferry is convenient, less than a 10 minute drive away, parking at the ferry is inexpensive, and the ferry ride itself is a fun experience.
Add in the fact that the two-​bedded rooms have queens, there is plenty of room for the (free) rollaways, and the rooms have kitchenettes, making them especially handy for families, I wouldn’t rule it out. However, if it were just a couple, I’d recommend a place in the city, which could probably be relatively comparable price-​wise.

My family and I stayed at the Navy Lodge on Staten Island.
There are no elevators so if your bag is heavy or if you have a lot of bags, hopefully they will give you a room on the first floor!
They do have laundromats on the first floor. It is $ 1.00 to wash for 25 minutes and $ 1.00 to dry for 20 minutes. If you do not have laundry detergent… it is available to buy in the laundry room. Or you can buy it at the CGX near the front gate. You will need scissors to open the detergent.
The rooms are a good size. There is a small kitchen with a microwave, stovetop, toaster, coffee pot, fridge, sink. There is a small table for eating. The bathroom is decent sized. Small closet space but many drawers in the bureau and in the cubbies around the sink.
A «mini» complimentary breakfast is provided between 6 AM and 8 AM downstairs next to the lobby. They have Dannon yogurt, bottled water, store bought muffins, coffee, hot water, and tea.
If you check out the offers they have you can get discounts on places like Rockafeller Center Tower and a lot of different places and shows.
If you are in Manhattan, check out the USO located at Port Authority. They can get you discounted tickets for shows and some free tickets. Plus you can use the internet for free and they have free beverages and snacks.

I was a military brat and now a military wife and this is one of the junkiest lodges, aside from Monterey, that I’ve ever stayed at. The rooms need to be renovated badly and is kinda dingy, the toilet in my room ran all night long, the beds were so so, and the blankets felt kinda scuzzy. They say they have pet rooms, but don’t be fooled. Lots of hotels say they are pet friendly, but only if they are under 50lbs. That restricts a lot of other dogs and I’m still confused on the why the weight issue. Now, they need to make a rule that if you have kids or you are over 250lbs, the only rooms you will be offered are ground floors, because it sounded as if elephants had the room above me. This hotel sucks.
