The hotel surpassed expectations. It's really easy to get to Manhattan on the subway (line 7) but the service is unavailable at the weekends at the moment. It's about $20 at the most in a taxi as well.
The rooms were extremely clean and well furnished, the beds were comfortable and the maid service was excellent.
We booked last minute as our accommodation cancelled but it worked out for the best as this place was incredible. Couldn't have asked for more :-)
