The property sent me a text asking me to complete some pre-check-in form, but the link took me to a website that had no indication of being affiliated with the hotel, & asked questions about my contact info and payment method that should have been provided by Expedia, so I did not complete the form. When I checked in, this caused a little bit of a delay, as the reception desk attendant tried to set up a tablet for me to use to fill out the form ... using someone else's device to provide my personal and financial details is something I would absolutely never do ... but they couldn't get the tablet working, so a supervisor just told the receptionist to check me in "normally". I received a similar text at the end of my stay, to check out, but I ignored it. I understand the push to automate things, & to use technology when it can be used, but businesses need to keep in mind that (a) some folks don't handle financial matters on cellular devices, and (b) infosec is just as important to ordinary people as it is to businesses. BTW: the view from the roof of this hotel is spectacular.

I asked about places to eat, and I was directed to the all night diner. Turns out there were a couple of bars just around the corner that none of the staff knew about.

Overall the hotel was clean and breakfast was great. The bed was good though a little on the hard side, but that is a personal preference.

The LIC Hotel is only one stop away from Manhattan but lots cheaper than Manhattan hotels. Should you need an accessible subway station, however, be advised that Court Square is only accessible going into town. Coming back, you'll have to climb stairs or go out of your way to find an escalator. The hotel's rooms are small and kind of bare bones. There's nothing to the pillows on the bed, so if you have neck or back problems, be warned. There's also not a lot of room around the bed, nor is there an electrical outlet easily reachable from the nightstand.
