Let me say first, that I was sooooo afraid to stay here, even with all the good reviews, because I know NYC pretty well, and I was very afraid of the location and not very impressed with the pics. However, the price was right for what seemed to be a very expensive week to get a room in the city. My 13 yr. old and I stayed there for one night on Nov. 14. We drove to the hotel and found getting there extremely accessible. Drove right into the garage/check-in area and after self free parking, breezed through check in to go check out the room. VERY clean. No thrills at all, and I mean at all, but clean clean clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The bad sides are the noise level between rooms, the noise from the street (if you are unlucky enough to get a room that faces it), and the location. It is close enough to walk to most things, but if you come back after 10:00 or so, be careful. Even though its across from a police station, the area becomes very desolate later at night, and it made me quite nervous w/my child to walk past groups of questionable men staring us down. Just take a short cab ride at night. Having said all that --- For the very cheap rates that they offer, combined with free parking, it certainly wasn't a bad experience. On a strict budget?? Go for it!!
