My wife and I spent 3 nights at Rugby Gardens in early December while on a combination work / pleasure trip to NYC. We decided to stay in Brooklyn to both keep the cost of the trip down a bit and to enjoy another side of the city that we had not previously explored. I'm so glad we did! We... more

My son and I visit NYC often as we have 2 college kids in the city. We just love staying in Brooklyn in this quaint neighborhood!
