Room was clean/acceptable - new flat screen in room - good breakfast. Travelocity worked out extremely well for booking. Shuttle to downtown very good - be careful if you are coming back late and have to take a cab - can cost up to 70$ - and they do negotiate. Good idea to know the basic roads for return as cab drivers are not the experts we want them to be.
Roaches in the room it was very dirty not a good place to stay ac did not work right and the staff was no help at all taking an old motel and changing the name to super 8 does not make it a better place to stay
I stayed at this motel with a friend to vacation in New York from August 3, 2008 - August 9, and it was a marvelous experience. The motel is just about 10 to 15 mins into the heart of Manhattan. The buses come regularly and once you get to the New York Port Authority bus terminal on 42nd street, you can get off and the city is yours for the ...

Nice motel and very convienent to NYC
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/26/08
I liked the location of the motel to NYC but did not like the location in general, the area is very poor and run down and not safe to be walking around at night (especially by yourself).
I like the hotel shuttle to NYC but did not like the shuttle back to the hotel because the drivers were very wild in the evening time. We almost even ran into ...

New York on a shoestring!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/21/08
PROS: Cheapest "branded" hotel by far. Free parking for duration of stay. Reliable $2 minibus service to/from NYC (30-45min trip). Hotel was clean with free wireless internet and free breakfast.
CONS: Won't suit people who expect more than a budget experience for budget prices.
As a group of four university students trying to ...

Terrible Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/11/08
The hotel is cheap, but be prepared to pay high fees if you need to cancel or postpone your reservation. I called the morning of my week long reservation at 8am in order to request to push my arrival date back one day due to terrible weather conditions. I was told that no matter if I stayed the entire 7 days I would still be charged. 8am was too ...

Great Value!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/07
Reading some of the preceding negative reviews I wondered if we we stayed at the same motel. Of course it's not the Waldorf Astoria but it's very clean, conveniently located, and favourably priced given it's close proximity to Manhattan.
We reluctantly took 2 smoking rooms as that was all that was available but there was no odor ...

30 YEARS OUTDATED MOTEL EXPERIENCE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/28/07
This motel has a good location, but is very oudated. Room seems to be from 70s'. AC is push button like a Osterizer liquefier. Simply it did not function adequately. Bath room has 4" tiles from very 1970... External corridors very-very dirty. You can see roaches. Carpet was very wore. TV channels limited to 14. Ice machine - soft drinks ...
