My stay at Sanctuary NYC Retreats was marked by a peaceful atmosphere and friendly service, making it a great base for exploring the vibrant Lower East Side. However, there were a few areas that required attention, particularly regarding the bedding and kitchen supplies. Overall, I appreciated the uniqueness of the place and the attention to guest needs but felt a bit more consistency in quality would enhance the experience. 🌆✨

I found my room to be spacious and clean, which provided a cozy environment during my stay. However, the rollout cot was sagging and less than satisfactory, especially for my elderly mom. They did provide an additional mattress promptly, which was appreciated, but the quality of the bedding still needs improvement.

The communication from the staff was excellent; they responded to my emails quickly and efficiently. However, during the food drop-off event, the organizer's demeanor left something to be desired. It felt a bit off when I realized they expected my elderly mom to carry a hefty pot.

Breakfast was a nice inclusion, featuring healthy options like grains, yogurt, and fruit. However, I felt that the kitchen could have benefited from basic supplies like sugar and coffee, adding to the home-like feel.
