Only had hot water the first night, and after that, only cold water. They don't really offer breakfast, don't go based on that. If you are new in New York, don't expect the staff to guide you or help you, they are simply rude. Also, no REFRIGERATOR. If you hope to bring some water and keep it cold, you'll be out of luck.

Good hotel, but overpriced for the area

The hotel is not in the best neighborhood although I felt safe inside. Walking around at night is not recommended. Right next door is a homeless shelter. Police department is nearby. Also near is a main thoroughfare with a lot of different stores and businesses. Late night kiosk 2 blocks away.

The front desk staff are very, very nice and helpful. Late night check in was no problem. Luggage storage is at the desk so it's all visible. The desk is essentially always manned. My things were handled well and were safe.

There's a couch and a chair in the lobby. Tea, hot chocolate, and water are freely available downstairs. This area is quite large with a lot of seating. The space was great for me when I needed to do a little bit of work after I checked out. There's hardly anyone there except for housekeeping staff, who put bags of laundry to just sit out there.

Amenities were scant (Paul Mitchell), but when I asked for things, they were readily available. I went to ask the housekeeper next door for something not in my room and she immediately left to get it for me. Unfortunately, she also came right in just after she knocked.

Most rooms don't have a fridge, mine did with a very small freezer. There were lots of decent quality towels, but no towel rack. The shower was nice with a glass door, good water pressure and a sort of rainfall shower. There were no adjustments on the shower head but it was movable.

The latest check out is at noon with an automatic charge at 12:30 PM.

For NYC this was pretty good. Shower takes a long time to heat up but does eventually get there. The bed and main room was clean but the bathroom had a few issues - there was a Kleenex box with what looked like dirty tissue stuffed in it, and the vent was partially falling out of the ceiling. The hotel was quiet, the staff were polite. We did not try the breakfast. We had to check out early at 5am and there was no one at the desk - ultimately I just had to leave the keys there because no one came even though the front door was open (so anyone could just walk in).

Overall, the stay was ok if you’re looking for the least expensive hotel in the NYC area. It’s not far to get to the city from LIC. The area around the hotel was terrible. Unclean and not the safest. There were no amenities, nor was there even a mini fridge in the room.

Stayed over the weekend. Staff was friendly and helpful, not rude like other guest have stated. Didn't attempt breakfast because you're in NY you should be getting food in the city. Room is smaller than most hotels but plenty of room to lay your head. Close to the trains and bus stops to get to the city. Not as loud as other guests have stated, but maybe I'm a heavy sleeper. They do have a deposit, but I received it back before the 3-5 days they stated. Overall good stay.

You get what you pay for

The Microtel Inn is a newer chain of Wyndham budget hotels with all new rooms and fixtures and furniture, so it was pretty clean. However, there were bedbugs in the bed (and my girlfriend got bitten often), and the tub had no drain plug, so you couldn't take a bath. You get what you pay for: the \"breakfast\" is just packaged muffins and other packaged food; the location is far out in Long Island City, so it's cheaper, but it is not near many restaurants or grocery stores or other conveniences for a longer stay; there is no fridge or microwave in the tiny room; and the service on the N and W lines into Manhattan can be unpredictable, and required a long ride to 34th Street, then a long trek to connect to our B train uptown. I'm glad I didn't spend more per. night, but I'll be trying to do better on my next trip to New York.

Good, but still had some issues

1. Staff were friendly and helpful
2. All aspects of the hotel were clean
3. My first room had a strong mildew smell. I asked to change, and was put i the floor directly below. Still had a mildew smell, not as bad as the other room. By this time, I decided to go with what I had as I wouldn't be in the room that much except to sleep and shower. But I definitely smelled it every time I entered the room.
4. Room was freezing the entire time, even with the thermostat on 69-72F.
5. The breakfast was a takeaway breakfast, nothing to write home about; many visitors seemed to bring their won and use the microwave.
6. Good location, 2 blocks from subway, 20 min. in either direction to numerous restaurants and bars. However note that it's not in a residential area, though there is an apartment building and another hotel next door.

It is just OK

When I booked this reservation, I understood the limitations involved with this type of property. But I was still disappointed with the lack of attentiveness when it came to asking for extras like pillows and towels. They would not provide extra pillows or towels. With that being said the staff at the front desk were very courteous and friendly. The room and bathroom was very clean and the in room air conditioner/heater work just fine. Nice and quiet. However the rooms are pretty small and the walls are pretty much paperthin. You could hear everything going on in the hallway and even the room next-door. Luckily I had a corner unit. The property does tell you from the beginning that there is no breakfast, just a grab and go like a muffin or a piece of fruit and small carton of orange juice. Not too sure if I would stay here again when I visit New York, but it was a nice safe place and it has easy access to the nearby train station.

The hotel is at walkable distance to core Long Island city and is very close to the train that takes you to manhattan.

The amenities are good enough. It has a safe, hair dryer, tv and clothing racks. Note that it is a micro inn!

The breakfast is a cold breakfast which is currently muffins, packed fruit, fruit yogurt, chewy bars, coffee and tea.

The train that take you to manhattan create noise 24/7 and you can hear it. So if you are very sensitive to noise this is not the place for you.

2 Public parkings are available within 1 minute of hotel. Street parking at night is also an option.

Additionally, on checking out I realised that an item from my suitcase which I did not use during my stay (my beats headphones) was missing!
