Location is a real neighbourhood so can be a bit lively. The club downstairs can be heard but fades after a while. If you are concerned about noise request a 6,7,8 floor room. Don't let the city noise put you off as this is a good place, with lots of great staff. The barman in the morning who informed us so much, Ruhul who was a joy, and not least the head of housekeeping who was lovely and who i could have chatted with for hours. We were in 4th floor (3rd in UK floor measurements..) which was directly opposite the train line - just like in the movies. Again the noise will just fade away. Easy J line from JFK and and M into Manhattan. Subway was great. Fantastic local diner restaurant by Flushing Avenue station fir breakfast.
A decent, safe hotel with great staff in a real area
