Great location to Manhattan, also to LGA airport. It takes only 15 mins from this place by bus. To Manhattan, need to walk for 15-20 mins to nearest staion or walk for 5 mins to nearest bus stop. So it takes about 50 mins from this place to Times Square.
We stayed in room 1 which doesn't have window in the basement. It was completely dark all the time. I'm not sure about room 2. If you care about it, you need to check it out.
They allow us to leave our suitcases before C/I and after C/O, it was super helpful to us.
Highly recommended!
