Hotel was nice and clean. Room is on the smaller side, but it has everything you need. The hotel is nearby public transportation. The breakfast was not great. Food quality was bad, no good or healthy options.

I wanted a convenient hotel that made it easy to get into the city and this was perfect! It was such a short, slightly inclined, walk from the train! (And the station had elevator access!) Check-in was easy and the front desk staff were very friendly, even with a late night check-in! The size of the room was perfect for two people, very clean, and the bathroom looked newly renovated. The included breakfast was varied and had enough quick options to give enough fuel to start the day! The ONLY "negative" would be the beds. Luckily I can sleep on any type of beds but the beds were a little hard. Would 100% stay here again!

Great value for a place close to multiple subway lines and it was easy to find. The room was clean and a good size, with a great bathroom. Bed was on the firmer side but comfortable. I did not hear noise from outside or from other guests. It was also nice to have breakfast included. I stay in NYC several times a year and would stay here again.

The hotel is in an area that is transitioning. There are garages next to it which makes it a little weird. Also the entry hall is very basic. But the rooms are clean and served the purpose. Other hotels in this neighborhood is so expensive. This one is more affordable.

This property post very little photographs and I was talking a gamble on choosing this property. My reasoning was it was centered between the airport and my family’s home. Check-in was at 3pm and there was no give to that time. This property doesn’t look like much on the outside but I was very pleased with the cleanliness and overall quality of the hotel. Breakfast was provided daily as well as being in the middle of the going on. Outside of the the carpet needing an update and purchasing a better quality mattress, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend a stay at this property.
