“great hotel for the price!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2010

Anyone who complains about this hotel is just being picky. Honestly it's not that bad and what do you expect for such a cheap price? It's not going to be a 5 star haha. As long as you're not expecting many frills or a super lush environment, you're set. It's got all the amenities you'll need: a bed, tv, fridge, microwave, clean bathroom & heater/ ac.

Pros:
-The room is simple & very clean, so is the bathroom
-The heater in the room is amazing
-The tv is flat screen & nice & big
-Theres a microwave
-It's very close to a lot of places to eat (fast food etc.)
-The front desk & staff is pretty friendly
-The price you can't beat for new york

Cons:
-The taxi services they provide you with will rip you off! Use the yellow cabs with an actual meter, the ones they try and give you dont have meters & charged us $30 for 8 miles!
-The beds are fairly hard
-Lots of porn on tv (This wasn't nesassarily a bad thing since we are a young, fun couple, but I could imagine this being a con to anyone with kids.)
-The area is sorta rough looking, but we never had any problems
-They supposedly have wifi but its very slow at times

“They suck big time”

I had to take a bath out the sink because that hotel was so dirty, when I pulled the sheet back it was as if they were never changed, the bathroom was filthy, the plumbing in the bathtubs was gross, the water back up when the shower ran. The hotel aint fit for a dog let alone a human being. They need to remodel anint worth the money that they are charging. I wonder if they will let their kids stay in a dump like that

“Not bad, IMPRESSED actually”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

I read all the reviews posted here and I don't see what the negative views were about. Honestly the room I stayed in was pretty clean, the bathroom was clean as well. The sheets were fresh and the AC was off the hook. It was so damn hot this weekend, but the AC took no time to cool the room. I wanted the Jacuzzi room but I wasnt for sure of the rate because it seems as though they went up 10 on the regular room shrugs* The guy at the front helped us out a lot because we didn't know how to work the shower, lol

Overall, I slept great. Only thing I had a problem with really was that there was no good channels on the TV, the porn could go. The parking was to tight, there werent hardly spots left when I came back from the market that night. That's pretty much it.

“Good room at a good price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2008

We stayed in deluxe room.Room size was adequate. Flat-screen, remote control TV, and clean bathroom.Good air conditioning and ventilaton, with in-room controls, kept the temperature comfortable. Window had heavy drapes to pull closed, keeping out light and noise. We paid $110 per night for a room and stayed for 4 nights, including free parking, internet and free call with in US, which we thought excellent value. Desk clerk was pleasant and helpfulThe motel is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service before. It's near to JFK airport & gateway mall.
Overall I would say this is probably the best motel we have ever stayed in on holidayand in NEW YORK city.
