It was a great place to come crash (we were mainly out all day and came home to sleep), not as expensive as paying for something in NYC and subway (Journal Square) was about 15-20 min (that has the PATH trains that lead straight to NYC) walk which was pretty great in the mornings. I don't recommend walking home at night, it's pretty lonesome and dark, a cab ride there shouldn't be more than 7 dollars. Overall we had a great time and response time was quick which is always great.
