Quality Inn near Sunset Park

The staff were helpful and friendly.

The mattress still has the plastic cover which result in noises when you roll around the bed.

I consider the rate I obtained to be excellent value for money in NYC. The hotel is one block away from the N/R subway lines, so getting around is no problem. The staff was friendly and the room, although quite small (e.g., no closet), was very clean, with a clean modern bathroom. Some have complained about street noise, however many of the rooms (like mine) face inward and this was not an issue for me. The Wifi works well, and the hot breakfast is good. The hotel is under a freeway, in a mostly industrial area, however simply walk one or two blocks East into a vibrant Mexican/South American neighborhood with numerous options for good, inexpensive food. (My favorite was the Sino-Peruvian roast chicken at La Brasa Peruana.) After dinner take a post-prandial stroll through Sunset Park for distant views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.

My only real complaint is that the credenza-like thing in the room can not really function as a desk, being much too narrow and blocked by the bed and television. I really needed a desk during my visit so this was disappointing. If you need a desk or table for comfort or work, better to try someplace else. The room is really just a good-value place to sleep.
