I find it hard to understand why people are saying such awful things about this hotel. It is very nice. It's clean and pleasent and the staff were helpful. The breakfast was ok but it was hard to get a seat as the breakfast area is too small. As long as you don't expect anything too flashy (which you shouldn't... more

We had a hard time figuring out how to get to the hotel because it was on the opposite side of the street, and one cannot make left hand turns on that stretch of road. We arrived late at night, and had a hard time finding our room. There are a few different buildings and the guy at the front... more

This hotel is exceptionally poor. Yes it's near the lincoln tunnel however the area is extrememly shabby. Room was very dirty, even the phone was dirty. Not worth the money...not worth any money!!! more

Security of our belongings plus good access to NYC were the main reasons we chose this hotel, and we were happy with it. ROOM: Large, beds comfortable. Microwave and fridge both worked, and the icebox worked also. There was also an iron and board. Our room had a partitioned bit behind which people could change clothes in private, useful for... more

Avoid this hotel. It is truly dirty and stinky. TO GET TO THE ROOM : Our rooms were located on the hill, at the second floor ,so it was a steep drive. Our walk up the stairs showed rusty stairwells and the corridor..whew, was stinky!! It smelled of PEE. You probably would not last a good 1 minute staying along... more
