Hotel Alameda Highline

...

The thermostat was a joke.. I set it to 83 degrees.. the highest it would go.. and I will be surprised if the room ever broke 70 degrees. So, cold the whole time in the room.

I chose this hotel for it’s proximity to an event I was attending. I didn’t have high expectations based on price and photos but it was suitable. By biggest issue was that this hotel was freezing cold. Granted I was cold from my walk from the train station but even the lobby bar patrons were sitting having drinks in their coats. The room is mostly concrete and metal adding to the cell like atmosphere. I couldn’t get the heat above probably 65 in my room so I slept in a sweat shirt and hat. I figured it wouldn’t help to call about it since the rest of the hotel was cold as well. My mistake- in the morning I noticed it was warmer in the hall than my room so I asked the desk about my heat. By the end of the day they had put a space heater in my room. This provided a much needed solution. Lesson learned- ask right way! Overall the hotel is dated with limited amenities so I wouldn’t stay again but I did appreciate that the staff were friendly and helpful.

Trendy platform beds may look cool , but they are a significant trip hazard for unsuspecting travelers ….. how about a mattress on a bed ? Might work. Need a 10 minute orientation to figure light switches particularly liked push up switch to make window shade come down. Annoying

Beds are too low on the ground....tough to get out of.

Beautiful little hotel! Staff amazing- rooms small but beds comfortable with amazing pillows!!

Property was clean and staff was nice, but the mattress on a small platform, no safe, and noise was a downside.

Super hotel, the room was perfectly designed and laid out. Love it, and the location and staff were great. Would highly recommend.

Amazing people working

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Love the view from rooftop balcony.

Super loud, AC needs fixing, literally so loud it would wake us up as it turned on.

The room needs a refresh the door to the bathroom didn’t close, the blinds were dirty and the lights didn’t work properly. I wasn’t really in my room as I was working so didn’t bother to complain. The area was quiet and I liked the vibe of the hotel. Staff were pleasant.

The staff are lovely. I stayed in a Deluxe Queen room - spacewise it was fine especially for NY but other than the bed and bedding which were honestly great the room needs a “refresh”. New coat of paint, repair holes in the wall. A mini fridge would be nice. Security latch on the door was gone and there’s no safe in the room. Tbh I also found the black hallways off putting but that’s probably just a personal taste thing. Overall I think that with a little TLC this property could definitely score higher but the friendly staff get a big thumbs up.

Hotel name changed, staff seemed unfamiliar with local attractions such as City Winery at Pier 57. I made reservations with continental breakfast and was rudely informed that it was not included with my room. Meanwhile my room was a mini room with a price tag $464 per night. Lacked professionalism

Stayed in a loft on the 9th floor. It had great ambiance at night, polished cement floor, view of the Empire State Building. The best thing about the hotel is its location with easy access to the High Line, very enjoyable for a morning or evening stroll. It’s kind of an odd place - sometimes you walk in and the hotel lobby is a full on night club and other times it’s empty and quiet. Kinks are still being worked out. I tried purchasing some wine spritzes for the room and the bartender wasn’t sure what to charge for them. The hotel shows up as Selena on the map but now has a different name. Other minor things: The rain shower doesn’t extend very far into/above the tub. The TV is a little difficult to navigate. But as a whole I’m glad I stayed. Didn’t feel like a sterile hotel and more like staying in an apartment.

Great!

I’ve stayed at Selina Ms y times… love it, the location etc etc. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s changed hands and new management.

They didn’t have a room for me. And they still charged me. The staff is completely unprofessional and the managers are flakely snd not serious.

The room we booked reeked of weed and the air conditioning was broken. We were downgraded to a smaller room and that wasn’t any better. There are stains on the linens and booger on the wall. True story. The TV didn’t stay on because the cable going into it was frayed beyond repair. There was only one elevator working so getting up and down to the upper floors took a long time

Staff are super friendly. But the room is so dirty. The mattress is on a wood floor platform which is so dirty and sticky. The staff told me that I could park at this garage for 30 percent off (she even typed in to my Waze) but the next day neither the garage nor the new front desk person would acknowledge this discount.
