"Location was great, about a 20 min metro ride to Times Square. Metro stations within a 5-10 min walk depending on where you’re going. The place was very clean and looked newly remodeled. Breakfast was excellent. Had lots of options, yogurt parfait, French toast/pancakes, hash browns, eggs, bagels, fruit. The place was also super well sound proofed. We didn’t hear the cars at all which was very different from the Marriot we stayed in the night before. Very impressed."

Real reviews from guests
"Overall, a fantastic experience! Although the room was a bit small, it was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the location is excellent—just a short walk to the subway station, which made commuting super convenient. Check-in and check-out were quick and hassle-free. We will definitely come back!"
"It has everything you need but nothing you don't. My room was simple but clean and functional. The Internet was good enough for me to work all day and attend MS Teams meetings. The gym was small and simple, but it had enough equipment for a good workout. I feel like this hotel is very good value and focuses on getting all the basics right."
"I had an amazing experience at this hotel, it truly exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely stay here whenever I visit New York. The rooms are a good size, comfortable and clean. Breakfast is simple but enough to kickstart the day, and the staff is friendly and always helpful. The rooftop is a fantastic bonus with great views. I also loved the 24/7 availability of hot water, coffee, tea, bagels and water. Overall, this hotel is a real catch."
"I would highly recommend this hotel. The location is perfect if you don't intend to drive. It is easily accessible to 4 train lines, bus lines, and it is close to Manhattan with a nice view on the roof. When I first walked in the lobby, the front desk receptionists were very friendly and helpful. My room was impeccably clean. The bed was comfortable, the shower was so clean and the water stayed hot the entire time. There is plenty..."
"I really enjoyed this hotel! My first time in LIC and I was looking for somewhere affordable for one night while on a work trip. I wasn't sure quite what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was warm, kind, and helpful. I stayed in mid-December and although they aren't too many parking spots at the hotel in total, there were only a few cars parked so I had no problem parking my car! The hot water was..."
"Perfect for our needs (tourists), though the neighborhood seemed a bit sterile/industrial at first. After a couple days visiting Manhattan, I appreciated the quieter, calmer area. Much cheaper than a Manhattan hotel. Rooms are very clean (if a bit small), staff is professional and accommodating, and the rooftop has a great skyline view. Quick walk to the Court Square station with trains to basically everywhere. There's even a convenient Target location between the station and hotel if you need something...."
