Just a few miles north of the Bronx, the city of Yonkers is the first of worthwhile stops for visitors traveling north along the Hudson River. This hotel is one of the newest family-friendly properties in the area, and the closest to the Hudson River Museum, the LEGOLAND Discovery Center, and Lenoir Preserve. It’s also 10 to 15 miles from Bronx attractions like the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium. You can get to the stadium — or even NYC — via train, and the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle to the station.

There are 150 rooms, both standard and suites, with either two queens or one king bed. All rooms include free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, microwaves and flat-screen televisions. Suites have sofa beds.

The Hampton Inn is known for its free hot breakfast and to-go breakfast bags. You can have dinner at the trendy Zuppa restaurant and lounge, located off the lobby. There’s also an indoor pool, a gym and free parking.
