Pros: inexpensive, very close to the A train, plenty of space for two people, walking distance to beach/boardwalk, smart tv, comfortable bed
Cons: a lot of traffic noise (on a busy street), not much for stores or restaurants within walking distance, not the nicest neighborhood (a lot of trash lying around and bars on the windows)
Overall, it was fine. We were in NY for a wedding, so we weren’t staying there for a beach vacation. If you’re looking for a place with easy train access, this might work. Other amenities are lacking in the area. We walked to the liquor store and it was one of those stores where the booze is behind the plexiglass counter and they pass your purchase through a cubbyhole. A few convenience stores in the neighborhood have snacks and such. It was okay, but I wouldn’t stay there again.
