9Excellent staff support.
Good: It was an excellent place to stay for a short time.
Bad: Although the room was small (as expected), some shelves on the wall could be helpful, instead of a big TV screen.

Good: Staff was exceptional. Room was small but had everything one would need. Liked the picture on the shade. Clever.
Bad: Street parking if you are lucky. Should advise parking garage blocks away. Street signs are difficult to follow. So many HAD NO PARKING 3AM -6AM. I didn't see anyone move car. I parked in what I thought was a legit spot 3in afternoon. Went to Barclays for a liberty game, 10 min walk. Back to hotel around 10:30 decided to walk around to check on Car. It was gone! Stolen or towed? Called 911 who couldn't help unless I knew what happened. Directed to call 311. Yes it was towed! When we decided to park there thought was...what's the worst thing could happen? A ticket. WRONG! Ticket issed and booted. If not returned to find boot in 2 hours it's towed. Regular SUV totaled $370. $185 regular car which it was but if booted it's considered Heavy Duty price jump to $370 plus cc fee. $60 ticket and 380 tow. Plus $25 for parking garage we found 11:30 that night, 2 blocks from hotel, for overnight. And $20 taxi to get to tow facility. So much for the great value at the hotel.
