I was visiting NYC for the weekend and was looking for someplace that was both inexpensive and safe. It took about 45 minutes to drive there from the Queens area but it was worth the time and effort. The room was clean and the staff was friendly (even at midnight, when I arrived). As other reviews mention there is free wireless internet, a small fridge in the room, and free breakfast from 7 to 10. Not the Ritz obviously but an excellent deal if you don't mind driving the extra distance.
