this was my first time staying in NYC so I don't know how it is at other places ahah. but this place is very clean, decent quality. it is right next to I believe a highway and several other roads so there was much noise outside especially with cops. but the windows when closed block out most of that noise which is nice. it's just a short walk to many restaurants and places to go. you'll have to find street parking as it is very busy and packed, depending on the time you're parking.
