We stayed here as an alternative to staying in Manhattan since it was a short train ride into the city every day. We were disappointed because the hotel was overly busy with only one working elevator. Lineups to get to and from our room were long, and the breakfast lineup took us nearly 30 minutes to get our food. The area around the hotel did not appear to be very safe with lots of police presence and no businesses within walking distance that we would consider visiting. The staff was friendly, but were overwhelmed by the number of guests.
