“In Long Island City, this property stands out for its surprisingly generous room sizes and proximity to Manhattan. I was particularly drawn to the rooftop terrace, which offers striking skyline views and a relaxed atmosphere, while the inclusive breakfast adds practical value. It's a solid base for exploring the city, enhanced by convenient extras like complimentary luggage storage.”

acceptable stay with some issues

convenient locationstained tableclothscockroach
The hotel's location was convenient with a nearby subway station offering easy access to other parts of the city.
The breakfast setup was not ideal. Guests had to clear their own tables, and the tablecloths were often stained. I also spotted a cockroach in my room . This was quite concerning.

The location was quite convenient. It was near a subway station.
The room felt quite small, and the air conditioner was excessively loud. it made sleeping difficult, especially since i could also hear noises from other rooms.. the breakfast was monotonous. There were not enough choices to satisfy me for more than a couple of days.

I REALLY liked the location, it was a short walk to the subway. it took only fifteen minutes to get to manhattan, this was very convenient. The staff was friendly, . The washer and dryers worked well and i found that very helpful.
the bathroom was not clean enough, there were hairs in the towel. The shower curtain was dirty, this made me uncomfortable. The room had a strong smell, i think it was the cleaning product.
