This is a great spot if you plan on coming to the city and just need a place to sleep--I would recommend for one or two travelers who are on the go. We didn't get to explore the neighborhood too much but it's a 10-15 minute walk from the train. J and M train close by to take you into the city fairly easily and quickly. If you're unfamiliar or new to NYC or traveling alone I recommend taking a cab or uber from the subway station at night, but during the day walking is great. Would stay again!
