We booked this hotel for one night after returning from a grueling 24 hour trip. The ad offered shuttle service, which we needed. We checked in and were sent to room 410. It was worse than anything on the Bowery. The tub was filthy and chipped with a large dark strain in the ceiling above it. The sink was cracked. The tissue holder was rusted out on the top and bottom. The wallpaper was peeling in the main room and the drapes were filthy. In addition, we were told that the shuttle service was free from the airport but $10 per person to the airport. We called and complained and a manager came up. He left after we showed him the filth and then called and eliminated the $20 shuttle fee. No hotel or motel should ever have rooms like this. I was shocked that NY allows it. Please see the photos.

We stayed here in March, 2012. They picked us up at JFK and made it easy for us. We took the tour of NYC from the lobby in the morning. Great tour. Statue of Liberty, Empire State Bldg, Times Sq., Ground Zero. Took the shuttle back to JFK having stayed 2 nights. Restaurant downstairs was fine. I would do this all again in a minute.

Me and the wife stayed here for four days on a trip to NYC. We found that pretty much all of the downtown hotels were too expensive and that parking was a real issue. We really didn't want to have to fork out the $30-$40 per night parking charge that was so common downtown.

We stumbled upon this hotel and saw that parking was free. We booked it and we were so happy we did.

No, this is not a five star Fairmont or Hyatt hotel but the staff was SUPER friendly. The bellhop helped us to our room and was so nice and kind. Probably the best service I have ever received from such a person.

Rooms were clean, and the staff was very friendly, and yes, the parking was free. It definitely was worth it for us.

My only complaint was that it was a 20 minute train ride into the city so it is a bit out of the way. But the subway stop is so close, and after a full day of sightseeing, that 20 minutes on the train back to the hotel can be a bit relaxing, or a bit annoying, depending on the day.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit NYC but doesn't want to pay a fortune to stay there. As long as you don't mind the subway ride to/from the city, this is the spot for you.

Me and my friend visited this hotel in october. We had a great stay. The airport pick-up went very smooth and when we arrived to the hotel we received the keys to our room straight away. The room was very big and clean. We stayed on the 6th floor and our room had a view on Queens Boulevard. While some people complained about traffic noise we didn't experience this at all. The staff was very nice and helpful and gave us all the information we needed. The subway station Grand Avenue Newton was a 10 minute walk from the hotel. We had breakfast at the pop city grill everyday which is a great place. The hotel is situated in a very safe and neighbourhood, I never felt unsafe or scared not even when walking to the hotel at night.

In all, this hotel is a great stay and I wouldn't go anywhere else when I visit New York again in the future. We initially chose this hotel for its price when compared to hotels in Manhattan.so it wasn't our first choice but it will definately is now!
