We stayed at Rugby Gardens for four nights. Sue and Michael, our hosts, went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful, and were very accommodating of our late touristing schedule (11am - 3am). Our room was tastefully furnished and well equipped with a flat screen TV (should you wish to watch it while in New York...). I have... more

I arrived late Saturday afternoon for my 4 night stay at Rugby Gardens. My hosts, Sue and Michael, were on hand to greet me and help with me getting settled in. My room was spacious and comfortable as well as very clean. After a shower and nap, I followed their advice and walked to The Farm, a small, quaint restaurant... more

Hosts Sue and Michael were friendly, generous with advice, and completely respectful of our privacy. No trouble parking. We were expecting street noise, but amazingly, there was none. The walk to... more
