I stayed here with my 14 and 16 year old kids and it was safe, clean and with great links to transport. It is in a fantastic base for exploring NY. Panda Express over the road was great for Chinese food, and the Westway Diner on the next block was perfect for a breakfast that lasted us until dinner. The aircon was a godsend! Only things I would add are a bottle opener and a better shower head. Would definitely stay again.
