The location was well worth it. The subway station and the ferry shuttle stop to NYC were about a 3 blocks walk. It was winter when we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy the beach but during the summer the beach is right across the road so you would get the best of both worlds being close to the beach and also close to transportation into NYC. Swati’s check In instructions were very precise and we never had to contact her for anything. We had a wonderful stay!
