This spot was awesome for access to the subway and Laguardia- running to catch the train after sleeping in or with tired feet at night, it was amazing to just have a few yards to walk to get home- plus a late night diner next door! the kitchen access was amazing- we were able to walk for groceries for the week, make breakfast and pack lunches everyday which saved us a ton on our travel expenses.
It never felt crowded or loud and it was never a problem getting to the bathroom or shower. It felt safe and was a welcome, comforting crash-pad with full days of adventure. Also, the water pressure in the shower was GREAT!
Uncontrollable factor- the nearby traffic intersection can be a little noisy, so if that would really bug you, bring some earplugs to sleep. Personally, we slept so hard it didn't affect us!
Overall a great spot to make your home base as you explore NYC.
