Very reasonably priced and not that far from New York. The lobby is not very pretty, but everything is clean. I was surprised by my room. Nice size, clean, nice bathroom and a view of the New York skyline!!!! This place is very, very quiet, sleepquality is top!!! Someone wrote "breakfast below average". This is just not true, what do... More

I had points from a boutique hotel I stayed in from another country so I had this for free so I cannot complain about price--otherwise it seems to be a bit high for the value. It is a family- run business which is really nice..decent free breakfast...a bit industrial location unless you walk the 10 blocks to the subway. The... More

Before you arrive, confirm that this hotel has your reservation. They had lost ours and told us that our printed out confirmation and receipt of payment meant nothing and that they might not have a room for us. After 30minutes of tense waiting, the very rude front of house told us and another very distressed guest and 2 foreign arriVals... More

Very much a budget hotel. Not within walking distance of anything really, mostly an industrial area. Kinda far ride on the subway into the city. If price is the most important concern, then this hotel is adequate. No trendy furnishings, old school style hotel furniture. More

Very nice staff. Rooms are clean, beds are comfy. What more do you need in new York, you only sleep in your room, and tour new York by day. The shuttle only runs free from 8 a.m. To 10 p.m. Otherwise they charge you 10 for the ride. Yellow taxi is only 4.60 to 40th and lowry station. We did... More

If you're looking for a fabulous hotel in tip top shape close to the city...click next! If you're looking for a decent place to stay, about 45 minutes from the city, nice breakfast, and clean room...read on! The hotel could use some upgrading(AC unit made noise) but, are you in NYC to sit in your room and go aaahhhhh such... More

We stayed here for 2 nights visiting New York City. The location was pretty good, about 3 blocks from the subway station and right off the highway. Parking was free, which was a plus. The room was large but there'd was a leak in the corner. The room was pretty clean. Some of the pillows smelled like dirty hair. The... More

We stayed a Friday and Saturday night. We had reserved until Tuesday. The location was really good for the price. The area was a little rough but it was very close to the subway. You have to walk through an area that is graffitid and dark but there are a lot of bakeries and dry cleaning business that were active... More
