Our room was certainly tiny, but it was clean and perfectly functional for our three-night stay. All of the staff members were kind, professional, and welcoming, and we truly appreciated their hospitality. The location was excellent, with easy access to the E and 6 subway lines, making it convenient to get almost anywhere in the city.
