We stayed here, it was our first time staying here and in the Bronx in general. It looked a bit sketchy, but honestly had no problems/trouble in terms of safety. Parking on the property was convenient and a big part of why we stayed. There was free coffee and tea offered almost all day/night which was nice. The front desk staff were not helpful, however the housekeeping staff were amazing and very friendly! For example, I asked the front desk for an iron for my clothes and said I needed it urgently. 30 minutes later, I went back to check-in and the front desk person said it was coming. I ran in to 3 different housekeeping staff right after and none of them knew what I was talking about, but proceeded to help get me what I needed immediately! This happened with other things but this was an example of the difference in staff. We needed an affordable, clean, safe place to stay and as far as our trip was concerned, we had exactly that! The walls/ common spaces weren't the best around but our room was very nice and clean. Overall, would stay here again if need be.
