This was a perfect hotel for me as I was working just around the corner. The metro station is a 2 minute walk away which means the centre of Manhattan is about 30 minutes away using the 2 train.
The hotel itself is spotless. The receptionists are very friendly and professional. After staying here for two weeks, I got to know them by first name and it was always a nice welcome coming back into the hotel after a day at work.
The gym adequate for me as it had cross trainers, treadmills, bikes and weights.
The breakfast each morning was perfect for me. Toast, bagels, etc. yoghurts, cereal, boiled eggs, banana, oranges and apples. Plus fruit juice. On top of that the hotel offers a free coffee machine all day that includes the premier drinks like Latte, capacino, hot chocolate, and black coffee.
Rooms were cleaned daily and kept spotless
I highly recommend this hotel.
But like most regions of the Bronx (so I am told) be careful going out at night. But during the day I feel very safe and the area certainly has Charater.
