A+ Staff: This was the first trip I've ever planned. The lobby and rooms were all clean and orderly. I wasn't certain if they allowed early check-in, and they do, which was a big help for a first time traveler! The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful. Very nice people! Transportation was very easy! The LIRR train was literally yards away from the front door to Manhattan in minutes! VERY CONVENIENT! I had a lovely stay and would consider choosing that hotel again!
