Nice to stay and I recommend

I stay here because it’s safe, and its location is conveniently located to things like Yankee stadium, the Bronx Zoo, and Stew Leonard’s..all great experiences for the kids. The rooms are always clean. However, if anyone else is checking in or out at the same time as you, you can be sure the wait takes some time. The pool has a new rule that it is no longer open until 5pm and stays open only until 9. If you have kids, especially young ones, finding things to do until that time is challenging. Then you have to go to the front desk to sign a paper and ask them to unlock the pool door while in your bathing suit…super uncomfortable and inconvenient. The pool was so foggy you couldn’t see to the bottom and pretty cold for an indoor pool. Lastly, there is a parking fee on top of already paying for the room. Just an additional $15 but to me is ridiculous considering there is a large parking lot with plenty of spots to spare. Not sure I’ll stay again.

I have been to this property quite a few times because the rates are reasonable as compared to the nearby hotels. but you get what you pay for. Its an old property with old furniture, old beds , old televisions and very old linen. its not a Hilton and its not trying to be. recently I see more and more homeless, wandering children and thugs in attendance. ( thug - a male or female with pants down, a tight shirt or wife beater, an angry expression and smoking weed) they usually spend more time sitting outside the hotel than in the room. the staff is very helpful and professional. there is a lot of effort to keep the place clean.
