Fine for an overnight stay

Hotel was in good shape for the price and just a nights sleep and early morning flight. Only stay if you are catching an early morning flight because the planes will wake you as they come in or take off. Not a good place to sleep before 11 pm at night or sleeping in past 6-7 am if you are a light sleeper. Shuttle was convenient and everyone there was nice.

Very Near to NY city; But they take $15 every night for their own roof-less Parking - Hidden Cost

Very Near to NY city (Max 15 min); But they took $15 every night for their own roof-less Parking - Hidden Cost. If i add this cost the total will be around $125; i can get better 3 star Hotel. Again the Queen beds are little small.

excellent getaway

Nice large rooms that are very clean. Microwave and refrigerator in rooms are a plus. The restaurant inside the hotel has really good food that isn't expensive. All the staff are friendly and are there to make your experience the best it can be.

stay there if you just need a place to crash on a late night flight

seriously don't come here unless you need a cheap place close to the airport; there was a bug in the sink. it wasn't a big bug. but the place is kinda gross.... this is the sort of place you go when you just need to sleep and head into the city the next day. i literally only saw the room for the 10 minutes it took me to get to sleep and wake up. it was cheap and thats they only good thing about it.

Other than the location

there is absolutely no reason to stay in this hotel. The staff, with the exception of one receptinist, wasn't the least bit helpful no pleasaant. The room was - to my surprise - clean but there was nothing particularly nice about it. The coffee maker was useless. The little cafe didn't open for breakfast until 8 a.m., way too late for anyone on an early schedule. I could go on......
