This hotel is very convenient when visiting NYC. It has a bus stop across the street that takes 15-20 min depending on traffic that takes you directly to midtown Manhattan. Apart from that, service is great, we were received wonderfully by the front desk staff. Hotel is in nice shape and the only thing hurting a little bit is the space to eat breakfast in the mornings, but they open the meeting room for overflow of people if there is not enough, so there is space to eat breakfast, which is hot/cold items (eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc). I will stay again definitely. Also, across the street there is a shopping mall with many dining options. The area around the hotel is very safe and walkable. There is a big grocery store about 3 min away by car in the same street where this hotel is.
