Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
DO NOT STAY HERE! From the moment I got off the train and walked to this property, I felt extremely unsafe. Upon arrival, I noticed the front window was cracked as if someone had attempted to break in and the front of the property was defaced. I am a well seasoned traveler who thought she had seen it all, but I have never stepped foot inside such a suspicious and disorganized Bed and Breakfast. There was junk, tools, and chemicals strewn through out the hallway and the door on my room didn’t have a proper lock. Quite frankly, I was genuinely afraid to sleep there and immediately checked out and booked a different stay in a better part of town and I am so glad I did.

Not for a typical tourist

It was a different place and not at all what I expected. The owners were very friendly and the place was clean. Rooms were small and the A/C did not work so the room was hot and uncomfortable. This place was an experience for sure.

I read the mixed reviews and chose Macaw Guesthouse anyway - I am glad that I did. It was a reasonable option in expensive New York City and it was as described. Charming hosts who went out of their way to welcome me and ensure that I was comfortable. Short walk to transportation options and dining options nearby. Highly recommend and would stay again.

They went above and beyond for us. 1) They came out and helped us find parking and gave us a tour of the facility. 2) THEY SHIPPED MY LOST WALLET TO WHERE I WAS STAYING! They have gone above and beyond. Very clean and very kind highly recommend!
