The hotel is in a prime location, steps away from the Central Park and a short ride to downtown. The shared rooms have a wonderful atmosphere, though the price could be better. The service is efficient, but could be more personalized. The location offers easy access to two subway stops and a charming local park, making it convenient for transport.
