The breakfast was great! The mattresses were very firm if you prefer that; we don’t. We opted not to have housecleaning everyday, but when we asked for clean bath towels we were questioned and it was a bit of a hassle. They held our luggage before checkin and after which was fantastic. The area around the hotel is sketchy. Saw someone shooting up in a doorway right next door.

Had asked for rooms near each other much in advance but when I checked in before 3 they said they were sold out and for some reason couldn’t get us on the same floor so my children were separated between my spouse and I. The room is clean and they do have a free breakfast, and the nice part about Queens is free parking on the street. The beds are very hard and the noise inside the hotel is constant with slamming doors (wear ear plugs). We probably won’t stay here again but it is one of the more affordable options in the area.

Breakfast exceeded our expectations. The rooms is nice and clean. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Only complaint I had was the shuttle we requested back to LGA was a beat down car that could barely fit our luggage. The shuttle on the way from LGA was a nice full size van. I was expecting the same shuttle because it was parked outside of the hotel, but we were put into a car that we wouldn't normally ride in. We would have called a rideshare had we known about this car.

We came from Michigan during the beginning of summer. The hotel is right smack in the middle of Long Island City with a ton of food options, dominantly Asian which was awesome. Amazing area, went on plenty of walks or getting back from the city real late and we never felt in danger or cautious. Breakfast is good nothing crazy but gets you started for the day and that’s all that counts.

This place is in a very sketchy area, looks so ghetto but the inside was nicer than what the outside looks. The staff was rude but this is my first time to NY and maybe that’s how they all are. My flight got delayed an entire day and I called to see if I could change my reservation and they wouldn’t let me so I paid for the entire night before even though I wasn’t going to be there until the morning, when I got there in the morning the man was rude and said what do you need, I said I’m checking in and he said we don’t have any rooms! I said well my room was supposed to be ready yesterday so I assume it would be ready. He didn’t bother to look my reservation up before being rude to me about trying to check it at 7 am. Also they called me promptly at 11 the next morning to check out, as if I hadn’t already just paid them an entire night for free at an ungodly rate for the place. On a good note, breakfast was good, a lot of options and the room was clean.

We stayed at this hotel for five nights and had a wonderful experience. Our room was very clean. We requested daily housekeeping. Even though we were out everyday day, it was a pleasure to return to a fresh, spotless room each evening. It definitely made our stay much more enjoyable.

The staff may not seem overly friendly at first, but whenever we needed assistance, they were always kind, helpful, and accommodating.

The breakfast was also very good. There was a nice variety of options—nothing fancy, but everything we needed. The breakfast area was well organized, and even during the busy morning rush, the staff kept everything well stocked and running smoothly.

We were able to check in early, and because we had a late flight after checkout, the hotel allowed us to store our luggage, which was extremely helpful and much appreciated.

The hotel is located in a very nice, safe area and is only about a three minute walk from the subway station, making it very convenient for getting around.

The only improvement I would suggest is expanding the lobby area or providing a larger common space where guests can sit, relax, or spend time outside of their rooms.

Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely choose this hotel again.

The hotel should do its best to help guests with reservations and ask questions to find their reservations. My experience was arriving at the hotel at midnight to check in. Because we had two reservations, one under my wife and one under mine (two nights in total), the employee said she was trying to find our second reservation but could not find it. She did not make an effort to look for my husband's last name, even when we provided it. Unfortunately, she said the only available reservation was at a 300 dollars rate. We had to act quickly and reserve a room at another hotel, and in the morning, we were rushed to check out. Horrible customer service. We called when we were able to contact Expedia and the hotel where our reservation was, and we were told it was our error and that we were in another hotel, which was incorrect. He hung up on me. No refund or apology. DO NOT STAY THERE!

The hotel was fine. In an odd location, but close to public transportation. The main issues were that the bed was extremely uncomfortable, almost like sleeping on a box spring instead of a mattress. Another issue is there were no washcloths, only towels. Lastly, the water in the shower almost caused burns on my feet due to the temperature and not being able to turn the temperature down without getting inside the shower.

We were placed across from the elevator and it was extremely loud in the hallway. Also be aware you are next to a large parking lot with cabs so we could hear car alarms going off regularly.

Did not have the breakfast and had minimal contact with the front desk.

We chose this hotel based on the reviews and were disappointed with the reality.

Our only hotel issue was that the room fan did not go on even when we turned the fan symbol to high, and the room was a little too warm. We also had loud guests on our floor after midnight one of 3 nights. But overall, it was a clean, quiet, comfortable stay for a reasonable price. There are some good restaurants and ice cream shops within 15 minutes walk as well.

Nice staff. Average breakfast. Maybe more variety at breakfast. Hotel location was convenient for subway access to airport and Manhattan. Just a block or two away. Room was clean. Nice bathroom. Bed was firm but not hard. TV system not easy to operate. Only big concern was that the storage room for luggage lacked any reasonable security. Looked unlocked most of the time relying on the vigilance of the front desk employee. The premises outside was limited parking. Simply drop offs. Hard to tell if neighborhood was safe or unsafe. There is graffiti and a car repair adjacent to the hotel. But overall hotel was a great bargain and convenient to subway access. There were a lot of restaurants within walking distance along with a Walgreens which is a big plus as well.

Everything was great except the staff! Which is so odd - a nice, clean hotel in not the best area - very clean, well appointed, etc.

Then, my AC did not work (was 85 degrees outside). The clerk said it worked. I invited him to verify - he seemed unwilling. So I made him look. He agreed it did not work. His solution: open the window! Then his second solution: \"well, this is the room you paid for\".

I became irate and demanded another room with working AC. He seemed upset with my request and implied they were sold out. I brought out my angry side and he suddenly said, \"oh look, another room just became available\". PS - it was 11 pm. Rooms just do not become available at 11 pm.

The second room was fine - nice AC, clean and neat. 20 minutes later I get a phone call: \"why aren't you paying for your room!\". Huh? (That's what I said). He told me that since I \"requested\" a different room, I had to pay that extra price. R U kidding me?!

I argued and it was clear - pay more or sleep on the sidewalk. So I paid.

Then I get another call, this time with him screaming at me. My card was declined because I forgot to approve it for out of state travel. He was on the verge of insanity, going off on me. I was shocked. So I paid with another card, problem solved.

In the morning, I explained the situation to the people at check out, and they expressed zero concern for my stay.

Summary: nice simple hotel in LIC, absolutely horrible staff.

The included breakfast was varied and had enough quick options to give enough fuel to start the day! The ONLY \"negative\" would be the beds.
