The only reason I didn't give this an "excellent" is that I reserve that for when a room has everything this has, plus a great view and a phenomenal breakfast. But! There is so much that was perfect about The Canal Park Inn. Easy to get to - right off 9A, had good parking karma and found a free spot... More

What makes a good hotel? Well, for me, its service, its the feeling that you're more than a credit card with a person attached; and maybe also its a good feeling about the room, that its quiet and stylish and well thought out and super comfortable (Denot and Kennedy are excellent) and its about value, that you're not being ripped...

We stayed in the Kennedy room for four nights. It was our fourth visit to NYC. We have stayed in chain hotels and boutique hotels and this was far superior. The building is on the National Historic Register and was built in 1826. Our room had the original fireplace, beautifully restored wood floors and an authentic color scheme yet included... More

Stayed here for a few nights prior to leaving the USA. Very close to 9/11 memorial...also within walking distance of train station. Loved the Kennedy room although the walk up the stairs was initially daunting when we arrived. Literally dragged the 2 bags up the 2 flights of stairs! Breakfast in the morning was cheerfully served and quite adequate...excellent coffee!... More

The Canal park inn is great downtown home from home. I stayed in Batsby for 5 nights. It is cute, comfortable and feels like your own apartment. Its location is great - just moments from Tribecca and, if you know New York, it is a perfect jumping off point. The rooms are full of character, the beds comfortable and it... More

Stayed here for 5 nights in the Kennedy room. This little b&b is perfectly positioned to explore all parts of Manhattan & beyond. Subway is 5 minutes walk. Rooms very clean, great facilities. We didn't eat breakfast so can't comment - there are some great diners within walking distance. Lovely hosts, left us to our own devices which is what... More

We absolutely loved the Canal Park Inn! It was exactly what we were looking for in so many ways. Very friendly owners and staff who will go out of their way if you need something, but generally leave you alone. We really only saw them at breakfast, where we had great conversations, and got perfect advice on anything we were... More

The location was convenient to walking any where or hopping the subway to our destination. The part of Tribecca where Canal Park Inn is located is clean, friendly, charming and relaxed. I much preferred the neighborhood to the upper east or west sides because it really felt like a neighborhood and everyone was welcome. The staff (Brendan was our main... More

Staying here gives you a much different view of New York, almost like you are staying at a friend's home. Gets you out of the tourist rut. Photos reflect the rooms accurately. They were kind enough to make up the second room as a bedroom for our son. Yes, separate bedrooms, and a kitchen at a great price. And the... More

First impressions are not good. Run down looking adjacent buildings with scaffolding. If you were passing in a car and looking for accommodation you probably would not stop. Once inside it is better. Not a typical B &B as you are met in the rather cluttered foyer of the small theatre. Welcome was friendly and the owner and assistant carried... More

Vincent, we're so sorry you and your wife had different expectations for our B&B. As you also noted, you're in the minority with regard to most of our guests, who find our accommodation warm, welcoming, and about as far from impersonal as you can get. I wish I knew what you were expecting so I could better respond to you.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Nestled on the border of Soho and Tribeca, our landmarked 1826 Canal House is ideally situated for experiencing the best New York has to offer—and still having a quiet place to call home at the end of the day. Surrounded by 5-star restaurants and a block away from the landscaped parks, open grass, tennis courts, and stunning sunsets at the Hudson River Park, we strike a perfect balance between nature and culture.The Osborne’s have owned 508 Canal Street since 1980. In this building, they raised their daughter, providing the building with family history built into the very walls. (Behind a renovation wall on the top floor of the building is hidden a mural painted by children at a particularly creative third birthday party.) The beds and several end tables in the Inn were built by Kipp Osborne, coming from the days when he and his wife, Margot, were furniture makers in Soho and Tribeca. ... more   less
