4. I'm dividing this review into positives and negatives for an easier read: positives:- fantastic rate (off season, January, in middle of winter, almost 1/2 of other NYC hotels in area)- great location (for me anyways) subways were about 2-3 blocks away including the 'E' train that takes your from/to JFK airport and also takes you to the 9/11 Memorial (breathtaking is all I can say about it about memorial).
