This was my second stay at this specific hotel. I had booked it as a solo traveler before this time. First, the shuttle is usually right on time and both drivers I’ve met are friendly and helpful. Loved both of them and cannot wait to hopefully have them again. I checked in on a busy day. I was told 2-3pm was the earliest we could get a room. No big deal, we were early. We sat on the floor, due to other people sleeping in all the chairs around the lobby, again no issues here. I ordered something for lunch and waited. I felt so bad for the pair that were working the desk. From people staying yelling about 3rd party bookings to others demanding a room right then, I feel some people just do not know how hotels work. At 1pm the female, I did not get her name so apologies, waved at us to come check in. She got my very tired niece and I to a room right as lunch arrived. We got a great nap in before heading back to the airport for our bus into the city. The room was large and spacious. It had a great little fridge, a luxury with any NYC hotel(even if in Jersey) and the beds were super comfy. The room peaceful and dark. The bathroom had ample room and great amenities. It felt safe and the location perfect. It’s a trek into the city, but I like the hotel a lot. I cannot wait until I return in November for my 6 night stint. I decided this hotel would get my business again. The only downside is no microwaves in the cheaper rooms, but again I’ve never been in an NYC hotel that had one. So try it out, and remember be patient with these great people.
