There's a post that users booked already and they weren't open. Tried on their website today and can indeed book room but it doesn't say when the hotel is actually open.
How do I find out if this is one of the hotels for migrants and homeless?
This is your second post expressing concern about hotels being used as shelters. I do some work with asylum seekers, and the hotels in which they are staying are not currently taking reservations from tourists. I’m by no means an expert, and I suppose some people may be housed short-term in a hotel that’s also serving tourists (as happens, for instance, after natural disasters), but this should have little or no impact on your own stay.
A bigger concern involves reserving in a hotel that’s yet to open. No one can predict the future, and projected opening dates are always subject to change. The conventional wisdom when booking a yet-to-open hotel is to have a cancelable back-up booking just in case.
(Again, you’ve posted in a not-very-active sub-forum. If you want more people to see your post and help you with suggestions, best to repost - with dates, general budget, any special needs, etc. - in the broader New York City forum.)
Even if the hotel was open, the location is not convenient.
