"Everything was great except online check in -pre-check in was not very smooth as I had to re-enter my passport info at least 3x and the system didn’t recognize it. Otherwise the people (reception, coffee barista ) were very nice and the location and room were great!"

3/5 - Okay

Although the area around the hotel is not nice there is a ferry you can take to Manhattan if you ask not far fr there. The higher you go in beach numbered streets the nicer it gets

A lot of construction in the area
