Negative Reviews
negative:
Location a little too intimidating for some.
Upper Yorkville Suites is located on the fringe of East Harlem, an area of New York City that doesn't have the best reputation. A number of guests report feeling somewhat intimidated by the area, which is very different from some of Manhattan's more traditional tourist areas. Still, other guests report feeling safe and comfortable during their stay.
negative:
Local neighborhood can be noisy.
A fire station, police station, and hospital can all be found within a short distance of Upper Yorkville Suites. As a result, the neighborhood can become quite noisy, with sirens sounding throughout the day. A number of guests experience difficulty sleeping due to the noise level.
negative:
No elevator in apartment block.
A number of guests are disappointed to learn that the apartment block does not feature an elevator, leaving guests to climb the stairs with their luggage. Those with mobility issues may wish to keep this in mind before booking.
