I gave it a 4/5 because they don't take the plastic off the mattresses which does not enhance REM sleep. Plus, they don't have fitted sheets. Ergo, ehhhhh! And the free coffee in the lobby is weak as heck!!!||Very Clean, Helpful Staff, Will be staying there again! No cable though, didn't inquire why... wasn't really there to watch TV. We stayed in 308 which is top floor with front (or street) facing windows and were treated to a perfect sunrise! No matter what Google says (or the 'motel concierge'), the closest Dunkin Donuts is 34th and Union!...just there this morning! Bus stop right outside of motel. Subway is about 6 blocks away...Leaving the motel, you go to the right, up Linden to Northern Blvd over to Main St and up all the way to Roosevelt. Duane Reade is opposite the subway entrance. The 7 will get you to Manhattan (Times Square- 42nd and 7th) where you'll find Madame Toussaude's and Ripley's Believe It or Not! Starbucks, Micky D's, BB King's Restaurant (the musician BB King I want to be clear that I am not talking about Burger King)... walk up to 8th,the C train goes to Central Park (81st St Stop-Museum of Natural History!|Anyhoo, I had a wonderful time visiting NYC for my 35th birthday 10/11! I will be back on my Anniversary 11/11. Happy Travels to All! TripAdvisor is the best way to worry less and enjoy more in all things travel... hope...
