New hotel in Queens, but very close to Manhattan, just one metro stop. Low price, but good service quality. I think you have a little bit more than what you pay for. Bad neighborhood, not because it is unsafe, but because there is not anything, but don't worry, crossing the river you'll find all you want! I stayed there from December 30th to January 6th, I payed 150$ less than I'd have payed in Manhattan and I really enjoyed NY!!
