Standard rooms are straightforward and modern, equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and Keurig coffeemakers, while suites add pull-out sofas for extra sleeping space. On-site, guests can eat and drink at a hip restaurant/bar, stay active in the fitness center, and grab essentials any hour at the 24/7 convenience store; continental breakfast and parking are offered for an additional fee. Its Long Island City setting puts a wealth of Manhattan landmarks within a few miles, including Grand Central Terminal, St. Patrick's Cathedral, The Plaza, Rockefeller Center, MoMA, and Times Square. The hotel is also close to MoMA PS1 and Radio City Music Hall, making it a practical base for sightseeing across both Queens and Manhattan.
Best for
This hotel suits travelers who want Manhattan-adjacent sightseeing without Manhattan prices, thanks to its Long Island City location a few miles from MoMA, the Empire State Building, Times Square, and Grand Central Terminal, plus a subway station three minutes away. It also works well for skyline enthusiasts who value the upgraded view rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows, and for travelers who appreciate an on-site restaurant/bar, fitness center, and 24/7 convenience store for convenience during longer stays.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the subway stop just a three-minute walk from the hotel to reach Midtown Manhattan attractions like Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square in minutes rather than relying on cabs. MoMA PS1 is an easy 15-minute walk for art lovers, while Radio City Music Hall is about 3 miles away and better reached by subway or rideshare. Since parking and breakfast carry extra fees, budget for these separately, and confirm any add-on charges like in-room Wi-Fi usage before checkout to avoid billing surprises.
What guests say
Guests most frequently praise the hotel's cleanliness, comfortable beds, and well-lit, modern rooms, along with a convenient Long Island City location close to subway lines, shops, restaurants, and supermarkets that makes trips into Manhattan and around Queens easy. Front desk staff receive strong, specific praise in multiple reviews, with one guest singling out a staff member by name for exceptional, above-and-beyond service. On the negative side, at least one reviewer described an unfriendly and unhelpful front desk encounter, a malfunctioning in-room TV, and frustration over a disputed small internet usage charge and unhelpful billing support. Overall, location convenience and staff friendliness are the dominant positive themes, while occasional service inconsistency and minor billing disputes are the notable complaint.
