Hotel is very clean. Pablo was amazing and made our stay worth it. Friendly service and suggestions for locations to eat were a good help. Only down fall is pictures are not clear I purchased room assuming patio was the view that is depicted on the site hoping to catch the fire works for the Fourth of July. Was told that roof top terrace is only for penthouse suite not general public. Balcony in room is just a window very small space not enough for a chair or two people to stand out on. Also note there will be a $350 hold on your card for each not for incidentals. Room was clean just like pictures. Cool for a quick stay

The hotel is small enough that the front desk knows everyone and they are extremely kind and accommodating. The rooms are large and the sky deck is humongous with a fantastic view. Kitchenette is well stocked and clean. Shower has great water pressure. The location is near the subway. I don’t have any negatives except for the quality of the Murphy bed in sky deck room. Decided to stay longer and moved to another room and the bed was extremely comfortable.
I ended up needing an emergency appendectomy and they were very helpful in managing my belongings and management was extremely kind to remove the room charge for that day. I very much appreciated the kindness and help they extended. Can say enough good things about The Modernist!

The balconies and patios at these rooms are unreal! The only drawback was the front desk staffing. At one point my card to my room just did not work at all - I had gotten off a 13 hour shift and I waited in the lobby for 20 minutes trying to call someone with no sign of life. When they were around they were super kind and accomodating -

The check-in process was smooth. The front desk staff, Sofia was extremely nice. I stayed in a Studio Queen and I have to say it was one of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in, in years. There wasn’t a spec of dirt and the room smelled so fresh. I’m a neat freak, I always check the sheets and pillows. It was spotless! This was a staycation for me so I could get some work done but I would definitely return.

Great location- close to public transportation and shop close by for necessities. Nice neighbourhood. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Nice view from our room. Only criticism was that the heating/cooling unit in our room was very loud. Other than that, great place to stay. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location. EZ access to midTown on yellow subway. Very quiet. Hardly any traffic noise. Big room with living room, separate bedroom. Small table. Big windows. Comfy bed. Penty of space like an apartment. Really enjoyed our stay.

The room is lovely. Spacious with a big picture window. Clean, modern decor. Hot shower. I had never stayed in Long Island City, but there was a convention in town and Manhattan hotel prices were inflated. The Modernist was fairly priced given the market. I would gladly stay here again. Just two stops and a brief walk to midtown.

The staff was very nice. The artificial flowers and overpowering room freshener when first entering the building were very off-putting. The room was very spacious but a little worn. The blinds over the cinder block window did not work so our room was pretty well illuminated throughout the night. The people in the room next door to us started playing loud music with a heavy bass at 12:30 AM. The beds were hard and the pillows were really uncomfortable. Overall, it was ok but definitely not worth the price. I don't think we will be staying there again.

Area is not bad, just not as nice as downtown. Room is much larger than others I have stayed in the area (Manhattan & Queens). Hotel is 2 blocks from N, W subway line or 5 blocks from 7 line (15 min from Midtown). All three lines stop at the Queensboro Plaza so you can change trains or walk. Cost/accessibility to downtown is very reasonable.

Stylish rooms, nice views and friendly staff

Lovely rooms ( I stayed in two because my work trip was unexpectedly extended) with stylish decor and great views. Would definitely stay again! Staff was helpful and responsive. They made a billing error but corrected it right away once I inquired. Easy to walk to bijou restaurants and a corner market. 10-12 min walk to the subway.

When we checked in, the key cards weren't working for the rooms. Sofia, at the front desk, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and even had our roll away bed made when we got back to the hotel. She had great communication to make us feel comfortable and safe.

The staff are engaging and very helpful— thank you Elena and Sophia for making us feel so at home! This hotel is located in a place with easy access to the subway. While there is no on-site parking, it was wonderful to have a safe place to park the car right nearby, and for an amazing rate!
Our room was clean and had everything we needed — and more. It was great to have dishes, glasses, cutlery, etc. so that we could easily eat food we brought in. (It might be nice to have dish soap in the kitchen area, though.) The robes and slippers were an added bonus!
We had a wonderful visit in NYC and when we return we will definitely book at this hotel again.

Super cute, boutique feel

This is a great place to stay in Long Island City. It was a 15-30 minute drive from Citi Field, depending on the time of day. There was parking about 2 blocks away that was convenient. The area feels comfortable. We were up early and took a walk to find a breakfast place. Most things in the area do not open till about 8am. That being said, if you needed a bite to eat, they had some muffins and cookies at the check-in area that looked very good. The staff was personal and responsive. Everything was great and the place was very cute!

The staff was super friendly, the room was comfortable, clean and spacious. I My 90 year old mom and 2 sisters stayed in the penthouse. The beds where comfy and cozy and warm enough for my 90 year old mom. It was suprisingly cold and rainy for june so the spaces ability to warm up the loft space was a great accomadation.

The property itself outside looks awful with faux flowers around the door that look like they've been there for decades, faded and ragged. The inside of the property was clean and I appreciated that. However, service was terrible. they wouldn't accommadate early check-in, nor late check-out. And if they had, there would charge extra. We stayed overnight and never saw any other visitors, so them claiming they were too busy for changing check in/out times were bogus. For an expensive night they failed on any courtesy arrangements. I would never go there again!

I would stay again.

Pulling up I was skeptical as the area is a bit run down. That being said, it seems to be an up and coming area. Great hotel outside of the city. Very clean, pleasant staff and the room was great. There are only 16 rooms so it was nice and quiet.
