A good little hotel
I spent a week at this hotel with my family and did so in some trepidation having read previous reviews.
There were reports of bedbugs, bad service and worse.
Those who wrote about bedbugs in 2009 should be aware that this problem was rife in 2009 throughout New York. There was no evidence of this in 2012!
We found the hotel to be clean, well run, convenient, in a safe and convenient location and I recommend it for inexpensive accommodation in the Apple.
There are lots of good restaurants, a Starbucks below it, a subway station 103rd on Line One, a few metres away and the area is clean and safe.
The staff are friendly and helpful and unless you want to pay a lot more this is a very good little hotel to stay in.
