Location is perfect. Cleanliness is TOP. Bed is okay. The breakfast was decent but the same every day. The choice of dishes included scrambled eggs (made from real eggs), boiled egg, potato salad, hamburger meat or fried bacon, cheese spread, butter, Nutella, American pancakes, maple syrup, several types of jam, apple and orange juices, coffee with additives, tea, milk, breakfast cereals, bagels, bread, and toast. The breakfast is okay but gets boring very quickly. Considering the price of the hotel, the breakfast is okay.
When I made the reservation, I wasn't aware that the LIC hotel assumed my wife, daughter, and I would sleep in the same bed. When I realized this, I went to ask for an extra bed, and I was charged an additional 50 dollars per night, which is okay. I was just surprised by the fact that the three of us were expected to sleep in the same bed.

Room was very neat and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom included a nice roomy shower with soap, shampoo and conditioner dispensers. Towels were good. Toilet paper was super thin. Front desk and kitchen staff were very friendly and helpful.
The breakfast was not as good as typical Hampton Inn or equivalent. Scrambled eggs were too dry and the sausage was totally overcooked and salty. Other options were available, including apples, bananas, oatmeal, bagels, breads, etc. Coffee was good.

The location was really good with a Manhattan view, in the vicinity of 3 different subway lines and a basic supermarket/deli. The hotel is small and remains peaceful. The neighbourhood in general was nice as well, a short walk to Gantry Plaza State Park and Hunter's Point South Park. It was quiet in the hotel, however, our room was facing the Queensboro bridge which generates a lot of noise 24/7, but the view was awesome. We also enjoyed the rooftop. It was surprisingly clean in the rooms and the daily cleaning did a great job.
The breakfast was basic and monotonous and basic, but fresh. The staff was helpful when approached directly, but seemed completely uninterested in anyone passing by the reception or in the lobby, it seemed they did not notice what was going on.

- really good location: it's in Queens but you're only a few stops from any of the major attractions in Manhattan. Subway station just down the street. It's a relatively quiet neighborhood with not much nearby except a Target but that was fine for us. - helpful staff but not overly friendly but we get it, it's NYC. - breakfast was fine for us. No complaints. Don't expect a huge variety. Just simple toast, eggs, pancakes, bacon, and coffee. Enough to start the day. - our room was basic with some parts looking old and worn, but decently sized with a comfortable bed. It was cleaned daily so overall no complaints. - rooftop had a nice view of the city. Would be nicer in the summer.
Not much.

Outstanding room cleanliness, friendly housekeeping staff who mop daily, and leave the room sparkling. Filling buffet breakfast with choice of fruit, bakery, eggs, bacon, sausage. Tea and coffee available 24 hours in reception. Fantastic roof view. Bedroom basic but functional, mini fridge useful. Very close to a metro station
I disliked the hundred dollar deposit as this is not usual in U.K. Breakfast room has limited tables, and we had to share on one morning, but we did get a table each morning.

Great smallish hotel (only 4 floors) in Long Island city, Queens. 2 minute walk to Court Sq 23rd St subway station which is one stop from Manhattan. Easy transfer from JFK using the AirTrain and E line subway. Wonderful views from the rooftop terrace and a 10 minute walk to the East river and Vernon blvd where there are plenty of places to eat and drink. The hotel is clean and has everything you need for a city break which includes breakfast. Recommended

The location is excellent. The subway is just three minutes away from the hotel and only one station away from Manhattan. It was very easy to arrive anywhere. It felt like a safe neighbourhood, nothing weird or dangerous, but also we did not get out very late at night. The view over Manhattan is really amazing. It looks exactly like the intro from Gossip Girl 😬. I feel like in the summer its even nice to spend some time on the terrace (we went on nye). Also dont expect to see any fireworks from the terrace, even though there were many people gathered there for them, there were none, only some confetti in times square.
The window to our room wasnt closing properly, so being winter in nyc, the wind was entering the room so we had to use the ac constantly to maintain a pleasent temperature. Also, for a long stay, the same menu at breakfest can become boring and repetitive. It was good, but nothing special.

Staff were friendly and professional. We were particularly grateful to be offered an early check in when we went to leave our bags. The rooftop area was a bonus and we intended to take a drink up there but ended up exhausted from sight seeing every day. Coffee and bagels were available downstairs. The subway (Court Square) was convenient and close - although there are two stations (above and below ground, 100 yards apart) which confused us initially. On the walk back to the hotel we stopped at 'Bonjour Food Market' which did excellent rolls and sandwiches. No alcohol there but cold beer was available at the AI Mart a few doors away. The area felt safe and we felt that the hotel was good value for money compared with the other NYC prices. Breakfast was fine.
I think they did the best with the space available and would stay there again.

Good location, not far from the metro; it takes about 20 minutes to get to the city center. There are shops nearby. Breakfast is available: scrambled eggs, bagels, sausages, cottage cheese, coffee, toast, and jam.
Terrible staff. I paid for my stay at check-in. A couple of days later, the hotel couldn’t charge the deposit from my card. As a result, my room was blocked, and I couldn’t get back in. I offered to leave the deposit in cash — they said no. I offered to pay the deposit via Apple Pay — again, they said no. After two hours of discussion, they finally accepted the deposit in cash.
