This hotel was by far at a great price for the NYC area. I booked the hotel before looking at reviews for the hotel, and was very nervous when I finally decided to do so. The hotel is set up a bit odd. It looks like a HOTEL from the front, but once you drive up the ridiculously steep hill, you see that it is basically a motel from the back.
There are interior corridor rooms , but the door leading to the does not have a lock, and is not properly heated. When I saw the unlatched door leading up to our room, I was a bit nervous, but once I opened up the door to the room, I was pleasantly surprised!
The room was very clean, and also VERY spacious with two double beds, a couch and full size table. The room also included a mini fridge, microwave, and safe. We stayed for 4 nights, and received excellent room service every day while we were in the city. The shuttle picks you up from the front door of the hotel and takes you right into the heart of Times Square. I highly recommend checking into that if you don't want to deal with the hassle of driving into the city.
The staff at the hotel was great! It was run by a very friendly Indian family. I needed to have a few papers printed off while there, and the front desk staff was more than willing to print it for me. They were very accommodating to all of our needs! I, for one, am not big city person, but wanted to experience NYC once in my life.
Went to visit Cake Boss. The place was right off the NJ TP. Upon entering the parking lot, the entry way was under renovation. Check in was quick, got to our room which was clean and neat. It served its purpose. The rate was reasonable!!! This place was awful. So we get into the room. It smells like smoke, funk, and dampness. There is no was no way to open a window. So for a cheap place close to the ferry, and having to be into NYC the next day, I thought I could deal with that stuff.
