I was perfectly a-ok with this place*. My friend's mother had suggested we not stay here, as it was "shady". I didn't give a crap. I had a lovely view of some woods, I wish we had gotten back early enough to check out their lounge, and every guy going to see the Boss concert that night was staying here, so I got too see much more denim than I would on a normal day.
Definitely stay on the second floor though. First floor looked way more nast.
* Though ot had been a while since I'd left NYC, which when that happens, my judgement can be thrown askance.
