The location is absolutely perfect. Awesome
View of NY Skyline. The bus stop is basically at the front of the hotel, within 10 min you arrive at Times Square if you take bus 158/156. A single trip is 4$ and you just pay by card. Getting back to the hotel is easy, you go back to 42nd Port Authority terminal and go To terminal 201
Next to the bus stop is the best coffee house with croissants and bagels ; Mokafe.
A block behind the hotel is the lightrail which was perfect to go to the Liberty State Park in New Jersey where we got on to the ferry to Ellis
Island ( less crowded than the ferry starting at NY!) from the lightrail stop at Liberty park it was a 20min walk to the ferry, through the park.
The hotel it self is very nice, staff is super helpful and kind. The rooms are tidy and clean. We had a room with view over the skyline, absolutely loved it. They have a nice restaurant with lovely staff and good food.
Across the lightrail is the super market Whole Foods, perfect if you need fresh fruit or extra water for your daily trips
Into town or what not.
Within a 30 min walk you’re at Frank Sinatra’s park where they have a statue of the man himself. It was a nice walk as you get to see a bit of New Jersey itself, with grand houses and kind people and play parks for kids.
Overall, i would recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy NY but wants to stay away from the crowd and the noises at night. You cannot get a view like this in NY itself. We loved it, thank you!!
