"This hotel was clean, well appointed with attractive hotel rooms and common areas and wonderful shuttle service to Laguardia Airport. The staff was lovely and extremely helpful. It's a little tricky to find with the lobby on the second floor. The fitness center was adequate and in good repair. They could use new yoga mats. Overall, we had an excellent stay."
