    Location was perfect. We drove from New York and it was right on the corner of the midtown 90 bridge with ample parking on site. The room was fantastic, very big and spacious, balcony looking out over the bay was superb. Facilities were perfect, ideal for our 3 night stay, we could have easily stayed longer if time allowed. The bus goes up and down the city and you can ride unlimited times all day for $4, 10 min walk to the nearest stop. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby for food or an Orange Crush :D

    Can't beat the location. Staff was super nice. I was a bit worried since it was a 2 star hotel but it surpassed my expectations. Rooms/beds were nice. Bathroom was fine....everything was very clean. I heard no interior noise from other rooms (which is very rare). The last budget hotel I stayed in I could hear the TV, shower and conversations from the rooms near mine. We booked this hotel because we had very few choices for the dates we needed. But i would definitely stay here again even with other properties available.
