    We had a very good stay. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, comfortable, and pleasant. Breakfast was good and had everything we needed to start the day. The hotel is located at the entrance to the city, so there isn’t much to do within walking distance and you need to drive to most places. But after a long journey from JFK, the location was perfect for us - quiet, convenient, and easy to reach. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

    Smoking marijuana in the lobby, smells the same on the floors, rooms are filthy, bathrooms are gross, appliances are broken and overall this place is nasty.

    The only issue I have is the shower. The back, on the floor needs attention. And as a partially handicapped person, grab bars would be great!
