Price is affordable for Far Rockaway. However, the room I booked, became more evident that it was or is a smoking room... not because of visible ashtrays, but slight lingering odor + physical/ respiratory discomfort over the coure of (1) night. I am a swimmer, with strong lung capacity & don't get sick. I felt a mild tickle in my throat the evening I checked in... which became a full cough throughout the night & following morning. I would not have woken up coughing with just mild fatigue. Also, the staff/hotel will not watch any* bag, no matter how big or small, for those looking to be in the neighborhood after check out. Other note: v old A/C that within seconds of turning on, proceeds to make loud, noisy rattling sound for v long periods-- would be upsetting to anyone. I ent here to explore possible repeat visits-- no, this is just a place to sleep/shower 1x.
