Stay was overall quite pleasant, very close to the metro to get to Manhattan. A few local convenience stores and food options nearby. Breakfast was good, hot plates and cold options. Biggest downside were the very, very firm mattresses. Hotel is otherwise clean, staff are friendly and helpful.

Great value for a place close to multiple subway lines and it was easy to find. The room was clean and a good size, with a great bathroom. Bed was on the firmer side but comfortable. I did not hear noise from outside or from other guests. It was also nice to have breakfast included. I stay in NYC several times a year and would stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I wanted a convenient hotel that made it easy to get into the city and this was perfect! It was such a short, slightly inclined, walk from the train! (And the station had elevator access!) Check-in was easy and the front desk staff were very friendly, even with a late night check-in! The size of the room was perfect for two people, very clean, and the bathroom looked newly renovated. The included breakfast was varied and had enough quick options to give enough fuel to start the day! The ONLY "negative" would be the beds. Luckily I can sleep on any type of beds but the beds were a little hard. Would 100% stay here again!

I just stayed 2 nights but the stay was pleasant and the staff was attentive and courteous. The breakfast had pretty decent options as well. Its in relatively good proximity to some decent dining options as well as convenience stores as well as public transportation.

The hotel is in an area that is transitioning. There are garages next to it which makes it a little weird. Also the entry hall is very basic. But the rooms are clean and served the purpose. Other hotels in this neighborhood is so expensive. This one is more affordable.

Great stay.

Very clean, 2 mins walk to Queensboro Plaza train station. Everything’s great. I just wish there were different breakfast option for people living more than 2 days. Having said that the breakfast was very nice, no complaints on that part.

The location was great! Everything else was way below par. The look of the hotel is severely outdated. No bathroom on the lobby floor. If the price was $200 less a night, it would have been outstanding but it wasn’t. Never again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice staff. Average breakfast. Maybe more variety at breakfast. Hotel location was convenient for subway access to airport and Manhattan. Just a block or two away. Room was clean. Nice bathroom. Bed was firm but not hard. TV system not easy to operate. Only big concern was that the storage room for luggage lacked any reasonable security. Looked unlocked most of the time relying on the vigilance of the front desk employee. The premises outside was limited parking. Simply drop offs. Hard to tell if neighborhood was safe or unsafe. There is graffiti and a car repair adjacent to the hotel. But overall hotel was a great bargain and convenient to subway access. There were a lot of restaurants within walking distance along with a Walgreens which is a big plus as well.
