It was great to only have a few steps to the bus stop. My hint for travelers unfamiliar with the area is to take the 7 train from here cause the bus ride to the 7 is much shorter than to the F train! Work in a Mets game if you can cause the 7 stops right at the stadium. This was a very inexpensive stay for my three days in NYC. (Also, If you need snacks, there is a gas station and a small grocery at the bottom of the hill behind the restaurant/hotel complex across the street.)
