The property was clean and beautiful. The staff very helpful and pleasant. The room was cozy and comfy. The property location was ideal, close enough to attractions but far enough to be able to go back to room and relax. The decor in the property is beautiful love the history too. Will definitely be back.

Vanessa United States of America

Location on the battery is perfect! Not just staying at a historic property to swoon over but just minutes away from visiting historic homes open to the public and walking historic streets beautifully lit up at night with gas lanterns everywhere!

Rina United States of America

Incredible location and facility. The entire home was in great shape and every one of the staff members were more than helpful.

Tryst United States of America

This is a top-notch luxury hotel. We received top-of-the-line service from Abigail, Brittany, Stephanie, and Susan. They are extremely professional, personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. Breakfast is awesome, as well as the evening wine and cheese receptions. In addition, the staff will check on you via text message at various times throughout your stay to make sure that everything is fine.

Norm United States of America

The loveliest staff I ever encountered and the entire property is absolutely beautiful!

Debra United States of America

All the grounds are beautiful. The room was very comfortable & easily climate controlled. Evening wine & cheese was a nice chance to enjoy more of the house as well.

Freeman United States of America

The staff at 20 Battery was really pleasant, kind and helpful. More so the staff after 1PM... Abigail, Henry, and another wonderful dark haired girl with curly hair! I mean they were absolutely so accommodating and knowledgeable! The place itself was stunning and quite comfortable, properly located and just so cute!

Sheena United States of America

Staff was excellent, gave a tour of property, and was very helpful and informative.

Roy United States of America

The amenities and staff were amazing, only positive things to say!
