3-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.1 / 5
Fairfield Inn New York LaGuardia Airport/Astoria is a 3-star hotel set in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, positioned as a convenient, no-fuss base for travelers using LaGuardia Airport. The property offers a complimentary airport shuttle running every half hour, on the hour and half hour, along with complimentary Wi-Fi, a hot breakfast included with stays, and an on-site gym for guests wanting to keep up a workout routine. Guests describe rooms as clean and well maintained, with reliable hot water, good shower pressure, and air conditioning that performs well even in warmer months. On-site dining is limited to the breakfast service, which some guests find compact in seating space and served with disposable plateware. Beyond the hotel, Astoria Blvd subway station is about a 10-minute walk away, giving easy access into Manhattan, while a nearby ferry stop offers a scenic alternative route across the water. Manhattan's major cultural landmarks -- including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park, the Guggenheim, MoMA, and Times Square -- sit roughly 5 to 7 kilometers away, making this a workable, if not walkable, launch point for sightseeing days paired with airport convenience.
Best for
This hotel is best suited to airport-focused travelers -- redeye flyers, early departures, or short layover stays -- thanks to its dedicated, frequent LaGuardia shuttle. It also works for budget-conscious sightseers willing to commute into Manhattan via the nearby subway station or M60 bus, trading a few kilometers of distance for lower rates than midtown properties.
Travel tips
Book the hotel's airport shuttle timing into your plans, as it departs on a fixed 30-minute schedule rather than on demand. For Manhattan sightseeing, the Astoria Blvd subway station roughly 1 kilometer away or the M60 bus (about a 10-minute walk) are the most efficient routes, since major attractions like Times Square and the Empire State Building are 6-7 kilometers off. If driving, note that on-site parking is limited and comes with an overnight charge, so weigh that cost against public transit options.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms and single out the staff as friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast is frequently highlighted as a standout, though a few reviewers note the breakfast seating area is small and object to the use of disposable plastic cutlery and paper plates despite the hotel's sustainability messaging around towel reuse. In-room comfort gets positive marks too, with mentions of strong water pressure, hot showers, effective air conditioning, and dependable streaming. On the negative side, some guests report noise carrying between rooms and thin walls that undercut the Marriott-brand experience, and a few feel the nightly rate runs a bit high for what's offered.
