If you know NYC, this is a great place to stay: my room (a suite) was clean and HUGE, bigger than most Manhattan studios, with a desk, dining table, and kitchenette; there's a free 24h shuttle to LGA; and the 7 train (30min to Grand Central, less if express) is a 5-10min walk through NYCs largest Chinatown, so TONS of great restaurants. However, many tourists may wish to splurge on a stay in Manhattan, so as to be close to all of the attractions and glam.
