Excellent Stay Experience

useful fridgecomfortable bedlocked parkingunsafe neighborhood
The room included a useful fridge and microwave. I found the beds comfortable. Free parking in a locked lot was available. It had limited spaces. The subway was a couple blocks away, it offered convenient access to Manhattan.
The neighborhood did not feel safe. There was trash everywhere. The area requires extra caution when walking around, especially at night. I advise to be very vigilant of your surroundings.
Dining
9/10
Breakfast had various breads, coffees, juices, and teas. The selection allowed for a quick start to the day. I believe it was from 7am until 10am in a dedicated area. The hotel also provides unlimited teas and coffees.
