The room and check-in went smoothly. There is an in-room safe (charge of $1.00 per day) so we were able to lock up our passports and other valuables). The rooms had 2 queen-sized beds and a fold out sofa too, but we didn’t try to open it. The beds were a bit on the soft side, but very comfortable with two extra pillows and extra blankets because of the sofa bed.
There is a desk, closet and a good-sized television in an armoire. The bathroom was o.k. Nothing fancy, but perfect for the price ($107.00) and location.
The room was cleaned everyday after we left for the city using the shuttle. The shuttle leaves at 7:45 or 9:00 every morning. It is rarely on time. That is not a problem if you are on the 7:45 shuttle, but if the 9:00 arrives at 9:20, you are getting a late start.
If you want to take the bus you turn left out of the parking lot for a couple of blocks to 10th Ave. and walk up a steep hill to Kennedy Blvd. The bus is the 125 ($2.55). We would take the shuttle in the morning $5.00 per person and take the 125 bus from the Port Authority (Gate 406). You purchase your tickets Bus 125, Zone 2 in the machines at the Port Authority. Buses are every half hour.
Breakfast was not as great as we would have liked. The fruit (bananas and apples) were not great, the coffee is weak and the eggs and other accompaniments (bacon or ham...scrambled or hard-boiled) are pretty mediocre. The waffles were good. They have cereal, instant oatmeal, danishes, croissants, bread for toasts with many condiments.
The one thing I can say is that it was a lot less trouble to eat at the hotel than to find a different breakfast place every day. It was convenient and it was satisfactory.
Grocery store not too far away. There is a Burger King, Taco Bell nearby and a cinema not too far away either.
La Fusta restaurant next door is good and has a vast menu that can please almost any palate.
Free internet in the cafetaria but it is very busy.
I would recommend this hotel to others.
