The staff were really nice and helpful overall, the rooms were cleaner than I thought they would be (makes sense since they have cleaning done to each room weekly or more frequently than that). Would definitely check it out again when doing a short trip to New York

Good location for transportation options, especially public trains and buses. Many dining and nightlife options for the younger crowd abound, albeit it a bit on the pricey side.
