Great location, 5 min walk to main train station that takes 10 min to Manhattan and 25min to LGA. Clean room, elevator works, good and safe neighborhood, breakfast was decent.

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.

Stay was overall quite pleasant, very close to the metro to get to Manhattan. A few local convenience stores and food options nearby. Breakfast was good, hot plates and cold options. Biggest downside were the very, very firm mattresses. Hotel is otherwise clean, staff are friendly and helpful.

Hotel was nice and clean. Room is on the smaller side, but it has everything you need. The hotel is nearby public transportation. The breakfast was not great. Food quality was bad, no good or healthy options.

I wanted a convenient hotel that made it easy to get into the city and this was perfect! It was such a short, slightly inclined, walk from the train! (And the station had elevator access!) Check-in was easy and the front desk staff were very friendly, even with a late night check-in! The size of the room was perfect for two people, very clean, and the bathroom looked newly renovated. 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. Luckily I can sleep on any type of beds but the beds were a little hard. Would 100% stay here again!

Great value for a place close to multiple subway lines and it was easy to find. The room was clean and a good size, with a great bathroom. Bed was on the firmer side but comfortable. I did not hear noise from outside or from other guests. It was also nice to have breakfast included. I stay in NYC several times a year and would stay here again.

The hotel is in an area that is transitioning. There are garages next to it which makes it a little weird. Also the entry hall is very basic. But the rooms are clean and served the purpose. Other hotels in this neighborhood is so expensive. This one is more affordable.
