Just wanted to report that our stay at the HI was fine

Our room was clean/well taken care of and had a great west view... didn't really use the hotel for much of anything except to shower/sleep so can't comment on much else. Location can't be beat in my opinion. Especially access to the subway, as others wrote... 50 steps away if that -- and I thought the transit system was functional and easy! Didn't move my car from the time we arrived until the time we left. Seeing as how parking can be a premium in the city, I guess $22/day wasn't too much lol
