“Opera House Hotel surprised me with its immaculate spaces and friendly staff, especially given its reasonable price point. Its location in the Bronx puts you close to Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo, though the immediate neighborhood has a certain ruggedness. I think its spacious rooms and historic setting make it a solid choice for business or leisure.”
