van’s place was pretty good! the location was nice with the utica subway station only 8-10 walk away. about a 30 minute ride into manhattan. it was actually a lot nicer in person than in the pictures. the bed was really comfortable and the room was decently sized. i think it was a great place for the price. only problem i had was the outlet where the tv was plugged in stopped working on the third day. and the switch for the light was outside the room. other than that great stay! thanks van!
