This was our 1st stop on our family's east coast trip. A large, well kept hotel right off the expressway. Free valet available with fast service. Our room was spacious enough for our family and could not hear any road noise. Breakfast was great with many options, but dining space was very limited at times due to the large number of guests utilizing the space. Pool is on the smaller side for the size of the hotel, but our kids enjoyed it. Our biggest complaint is that the fitted sheets were too small for the beds! They barely stayed on the mattress, so they would roll up if you moved at all in bed. Also, traffic going into New York was miserable. Before booking this hotel, I looked into distance and travel times for the places we wanted to see in the city. Most days it took 2-3 times as long as predicted due to traffic. So if you have a lot you want to see in Manhattan, this may not be the most convenient location for you!
