I went there with my son to do some apartment hunting in the area, as he is moving to NYC for a new job. This hotel was a great home base for us everyday, and had many areas that we could utilize. I was especially pleased with having the kitchen area in our room. When you do go out for dinner, I highly recommend a great Thai place called The Buff. It's only a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Everybody we interacted with at the hotel was friendly and accommodating. I especially appreciated Andrea, the bartender at the lounge on the lower level. She was super friendly, made great drinks, and even helped make our mission there easier by offering useful insight and advice about finding a place for my son.
