Advantages: Beautiful environment, quiet and peaceful at such a close distance to Manhantan, good variety of food choices among all the three homewood suites hotel I lived respectively in Boston, New Jersey and Orlando, efficient shuttle pick-up from the dock; Free water-way bus ride as a follow-up service of taking the ferry in downtown Manhantan;
Disadvantages: Budge-conscious travellers may need to think about the ferry fares every day ( $19 round-trip to Mid-town Mahantan), it's not that expensive, but if you compare with living in Manhantan, it saves 20 bucks of room rates per day; Other than this, this is a good hotel.
