A neat little hotel in a perfect location. We loved this location...as we love to walk and explore. You are minutes from the Empire State Building, a 5-8 minute walk from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden (on the same street), 10-minute walk to Bryant Park/NY Public Library, 15min to Times Square, 20 mins to Grand Central Station, 30 mins to Central Park.... you get the idea. However, if you like a balance, we also accessed the subway which is literally at your doorstep to get Downtown and Uptown. The front office staff were always friendly, and the continental included breakfast both convenient and a bonus! Access to and from the JFK airport is easy...take the AirTrain to Jamaica then Switch to the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and head to Penn Square. All up this will cost around $10 and take around 1-hour 15mins. A taxi costs between $85 and $100.
