    Not really value for that...
    • What did you like most?
      Quite well located at the crossroads of transportation between JFK, La Guardia and NYC.
    • Was there anything you didn't like?
      I paid 44$ 5 months in advance at The Local, that is for a dorm outside Manhattan in winter (hostel was empty) - and they were the cheapest... but room was not heated (I would say it was 15/16°C (for 4°C outside), i couldnt start the heater by myself, and anyway the windows are a single layer of glass with air (and noise then) seeping through : I think unacceptable is the word. The current evaluation asks for how staff was: hard to say i showed up at 11pm, i would say ok/polite, but i dont know why, even though that was 11, it seemed scarce, felt like some motel lost in the middle of an unexpected place. So well to be fair, Im glad i could find that price a night, but Im not sure Id recommand as of today, sorry.
