I stayed for 2 nights while attending a training program for my job. I had looked at reviews for all of the hotels in the area and decided against the hotel closest to where my training was and picked the Marco instead, truly because of the #1 rating.
I was really impressed. The front desk staff were always friendly when I had a question and made sure I had everything I needed. The subway station is about 5 blocks away (about a 10 minute walk) and very convenient. A cab fare from Penn Station ran me $40 with bridge tolls. If you choose to take the subway to Penn Station, it takes about 35 minutes on a local train. Either way, it was a great location, especially if you are attending events at Citi Field or the Tennis center. The Willets Point-Mets subway stop is the next one down the line.
The room was one of the cleanest hotel rooms I've stayed in. Safety is a huge priority for me and I felt very safe the entire stay.
I'd definitely recommend this hotel if you are out of town and attending a meeting in the area or an event by Citi Field. It may be more out of the way than the other hotels in the area, but it is worth it. It was also the most affordable!
