LIC Manhattan View Hotel

A/C was really loud. overall though, was good for the price

The first rock we got had a stand up air conditioner and was vented through an open window. This seemed unsafe and also let in too much hot air (90+degree days). We asked to switch rooms. They accommodated hut he room we were put in had AC that was on a motion detector so when we slept we were awoken every two hours due to heat and humidity and had to cycle it back on. Our room was extremely warm when we returned each day as no air was running. The whole place was dirty. A bar was advertised as available and was not (it was clear it was only used for storage). The bed was so springy and uncomfortable. This was a super disappointing experience for the price 0/10 wouldn’t recommend.

Excellent front desk, clean room, check in/out easy. Room a little warm in june. But otherwise comfortable. View was amazing, especially at night.

No safe in room. Poor wifi (constantly disconnected) On the positive side: - Friendly staff - Clea room

When we arrived, our room was 83° and humid. After two hours, the A/C had done nothing and the room kept getting hotter. The front desk said maintenance would come, but nobody showed up. After another complaint, “maintenance” arrived and simply put his hand near the vent. The hotel offered to move us to a room with working A/C for only one night, even though we were staying two nights, or provide a portable A/C unit. Looking through other reviews, this seems to be their standard response. They act like it’s a new problem, but reviews show it’s been going on for a long time. We tried the portable unit, but it didn’t help. It also required leaving the balcony door open about a foot for venting. I wasn’t interested in sleeping with a door open all night in a noisy city, especially when the room was still hot. After spending hours dealing with this right after getting off a plane, we finally negotiated staying both nights in a different room. While moving, we met two other guests in the elevator who were also having A/C problems. The second room was a comfortable temperature, but we found signs of roaches, including two crushed roach bodies in the bathroom door jamb. Save yourself the frustration and choose another hotel.

Good

Good

But I would stay again.

Clean large room with helpful staff and easy transport links. Lots of cafe's and stores within walking distance too

The facilities were clean overall but our room was too warm despite the AC running. The AC was also very loud.

For the price it’s pretty fantastic. No complaints. If you’re looking to go somewhere near and need a spot this is it.

On June 5 2026 my Wife and I check into long Island city Manhattan View Hotel and I can't find or say any good to say about this awful hotel LI Manhattan View , don't stay here .As soon as we check in and went to the room , call the Brooklyn suit ,we left the room and went to the front desk requesting a refund. We would have been more comfortable sleeping in our vehicle. We are currently requesting our money refunded Booking .com and LI Manhattan View. Don't stay here save yourself from being disappointed The( Brooklyn suit ) room smelled awful and unclean, the carpet looked old ,the couch is 10 years old (approximately) , the windows were stained or unclean and couldn't see Manhattan .To me it appears to be a hotel were John's bring street women their..Don't stay at the Li Manhattan View hotel it's filthy place...

Do NOT book this hotel; I tried to check in at 4 PM on June 3rd, but was told that they couldn't let me stay there due to an incident at their hotel. They have to arrange me to stay at their sister hotel. Meanwhile, they were checking in other guests in front of me. This was discrimination. I tried to be friendly, but when I arrived at this sister hotel, I found they gave me a room right next to the railway tracks, making it impossible to work or sleep. So, around 6 PM that day, I informed Expedia of the entire situation. They agreed to change my hotel and asked for my phone number, saying they would contact me. However, after waiting for over an hour, nothing happened. So, I had to book another hotel further away at a very high price because of the last minute booking. The following day (June 4th) around 5 PM, I contacted Expedia again to report the same issue and request a refund. To my astonishment, hey had no record of what happened the previous day, and it took an hour over the phone for they go back and force to undersand what had happened again. They told me to wait and call back another day to inquire about the refunding progress, giving me a case ID. I called again around 11 PM on June 7th with that case ID, and they surprised me again because they had no record of what happened at all. The entire lengthy investigation process was restarted again, and because the hotel owner tried to hide away from the investigation, they could not provide any updates.

But- and this is a big but for us- the air conditioning is not working properly. Our first room on the 11th floor was 76 degrees and would not go down. We notified the staff who said they’d send someone to fix it- we came back and it was at the same temperature. Then I asked again- they said they’d send someone. After thirty minutes of no one coming, I went down again. He switched our room to a bigger room with a manhattan view but when we entered- it was 78 degrees. Luckily it had a haphazard portable AC that we stuck right next to our face so we were able to sleep but the room itself never cooled down so we left as early as we could in the morning. Reading other more recent reviews- this appears to be an ongoing problem and I wish I had known because I would’ve booked somewhere else (because I hate being hot while I sleep). Just wanted to make sure I shared so others were aware!

Great location and very clean. 4 mins walk to subway and about 20-30 minutes from tourist attractions. Street parking was easy to find. Staff was excellent and very helpful. Will definitely stay here for my next visit.

Well maintained and well run hotel. Clean, quiet, secure. Nice looking rooms and public spaces. Parking onsite available at a reasonable cost; the staff allowed me to keep the car there for several hours after checkout. Only two blocks from a NYC subway stop and then ten minutes into Manhattan. Lots of good restaurants within a few blocks. They don't currently offer breakfast but they do put coffee out in a nice lounge area.

big hotel space, big balcony with nice view the ac in our unit didn’t work on a 90 degree day… it was cooler outside with a breeze than it was in our room

Very good

Spot is perfect if you need to go to Manhattan with an affordable stay. 3 minutes from the N train and 8 minutes from the E train.

We had a parking spot, but I guess we’re pretty lucky since there’s only about 15 of them total. The hotel is pretty mid. The staff was super nice and helpful. We did find a small German cockroach in the bathroom. And the room never quite got below 22 Celsius even at night.

Clean room , good customer service

Superb

Exceptional

Very clean, staff was helpful and allowed early check-in and offered to store bags after checkout. My biggest gripe is that I asked for a hair dryer several times and every time they told me someone would bring it up but I was never provided one. They kept saying it was behind the bathroom door but it was not.

nice beds and pillows, the view and the location were great. The bathroom was clean. Good water pressure. There was a dirty towel under the bed and a few plastic caps under the other. The coffee station did not have coffee twice, and there was only one option for tea. The staff never said hello or good morning, nothing.

Very good

Nothing. Pure mediocrity on the verge of sucked. Location, kindness of staff - specifically the online support that is responsible for the BOOKING support.

Hotel was pretty clean and well kept. Bed was a little uncomfortable and air conditioning in the room didn't seem to keep up all the time but it worked well for a landing place after a day in the city. Conveniently located near 39th street subway station and the area is nice. We never felt unsafe walking in this neighborhood.

Very well connected hotel, about 15min by subway to reach Manhattan 5th Avenue. Staff was very supportive and attentive. We had an issue with the aircon system and we immediately received a portable unit as backup. Considering the price the value is great.

Superb

Very good

Rodney, at the front desk, went out of his way to accommodate us. He was always available, friendly and super helpful. Just lovely. We were pleased with everything. Have already recommended it to friends coming to NYC and will definitely make it our home away from home when visiting NYC family.

Very good

I paid extra for a room with balcony and city view thinking that I would get the view of manhattan like they show on the pictures when you select a room. What i got was a small room on the corner of the building with a view of the an apartment building. The stay overall was not bad and in a good location with convenient parking. Avoid paying extra for balcony with city view because they don’t specify what part of the city you will view.

The room looked nothing like the pictures and felt more like a MOTEL than a hotel. While the bed appeared made and the room initially looked tidy, it was clearly not clean. I woke up the next morning to a BED BUG crawling on the bed and multiple BITE MARKS on my back. I reported the issue to the front desk at 7 AM, and not once did anyone apologize. Instead, I was told there were no other rooms available. To make matters worse, the air conditioning did not work. The vent and filter were filthy, and a portable AC unit had been left in the room from a previous guest. The unit was so loud that sleeping was nearly impossible honestly, it was worse than listening to New York City sirens all night. Very disappointing experience!!

Very old and dirty. Carpets smelled like …. And sheets and chairs sticky and stained. AC not working it was 90* when we opened the room. Staff dismissive, location was great and a beautiful view of a NY skyline but this hotel needs a major update. It doesn’t look like the pictures at all. I got the best option deluxe room with a balcony so it doesn’t get better even if you pay for it. I found another hotel in manhattan same price and so much better!

The pictures make this place to be extremely luxurious and grand but once entering the lobby I was very underwhelmed by the interior and the arguing customers. I felt misled by the nice photos of this place’s advertisement. The charging ports were all lose for some reason so I struggled to charge my electronics that night. Honestly if you’re going to spend over $250+ a night at this hotel you can get a better experience elsewhere

The front desk staff by the name Rodney is the best. The hotel view is stunning.

Staff very friendly. Rooms cleaned very well and easy access to subway

Overall good

ただ、部屋の空調が壊れていたようで、簡易的なエアコンがバルコニーのところに設置してあり、信じられないことに、バルコニーのドアが１５センチほど開けっぱなしで稼働させるようになっていました。 チェックインの際、そのことについてのスタッフからの説明は一言もありませんでした。 疲れていたし、一泊のみだったし、夜は快適な外気温だったので、何も苦情はいいませんでしたが、暑い日や寒い日だったり、虫が入ってくる可能性もあったし、連泊だったらかなり困ったと思います。 このホテルには泊まる方はお気をつけください。

Coffee area was nice and room was spacious and clean. Staff were friendly and accommodating

The location was perfect — close to local attractions, restaurants, and transport links, yet still quiet at night. I especially appreciated the delicious breakfast and the attention to detail throughout the hotel. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for excellent service, comfort, and value for money. I would definitely stay here again!

Our room was spacious and very nice. However, the vending machines were empty and did not refund our money. When told about it, the person at desk said/did nothing. The dining area was attractive but the floors were sticky.

Me encantó el servicio lo limpio que es la gente muy amable, Genial , volvería encantada, Gracias por todo , son muy amables

The air conditioning in our room didn’t work, even after we requested a change. When we checked again later, they claimed to have an issue with the HVAC system. However, instead of acknowledging the problem, they offered us an alternate room. The room we were given was only partially cleaned, and we found a pin and some tablets in the carpet, along with hair on the chairs. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

Yes

Great location for a the main sights

The room was spotless and the front desk persoee

Very clean and staff very friendly

Easy access, nice staff, very clean and nice hotel

We loved the location and price!

though. Small disappointment. Also,thr ice machine was on a different floor View was nice. Staff were super nice and the location felt safe and an easy walk to restaurants and the subway. Not many amenities but the vibe was fine. We'd stay again.

Very nice hotel especially for the price. Walking distance to the train into the city which was helpful. Room had a cool balcony and was perfect for our group.

This is our go to place when we're in town. Clean! Comfortable! Spacious! On site parking! Close to everything! We've stayed before and will continue to stay again.

Clean. Close to Manhattan

Air conditioning was effective sometimes. The room air felt stuffy and became really warm through the night.

After a lot of research, keeping in mind that we had a relatively tight budget, we chose to stay at the L.I.C. Manhattan View. Now, I read a lot of reviews from other visitors, and I saw the good and the bad, so let me give you my opinion now that the week is over. So is the hotel a five star property? It is not, for one reason, and I'll get to that momentarily. The Manhattan View is a budget oriented hotel and in some ways, that shows. There are some cosmetic imperfections. But seriously, is that something to complain about? I don't believe so as long as the owners don't allow it to get out of control. This isn't The Ritz Carlton. Minor shortcomings will not affect your stay. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a firm mattress, but no different than the one I have at home. The location was perfect also. The subway is 2 short blocks away and in less than 15 minutes you're in Time Square. In addition, there's a great bodega across the street with delicious, fresh food and very nice employees. There aren't very many fast food restaurants in the area, but there are a number of sit-down establishments. The hotel doesn't have a lot of amenities, but there are some pluses such as free coffee in the lobby, a public microwave and water bottles at the asking. I was told there's a gym downstairs, but I

Basic, everything was clean although my bed sheets had some black scuffs…. Aside from that everything else was as is. A bit out dated.

-

Bathroom shower is slippery. Bed is great and 4 pillows are given. Needs bath gel or soap. Only lotion shampoo and conditioner, and hand soap provided.

They have a parking lot and I needed it for only 2 nights and the front desk was trying to charge me my whole stay when I wasn’t using it for all those extra nights. My room also didn’t have a smart tv, as the staffs was trying to help and bring us a smart tv for it not to work. The rooms are vintage, not modern or updated at all but that’s ok. The price per night is ridiculous. Besides that I loved it and would stay again, just less days.

Outstanding stay!! The staff was excellent. Very clean and in good repair. Will definitely stay here again.

Really liked the location, neighborhood and our comfortable room with balcony and great view.

Great

Ac problem

Mattresses are a but firm, but the staff were awesome and the hotel was clean.

Great for a quick trip. Clean rooms & very helpful staff + parking onsite made this trip great!

For 2 days had to play technician Live tv inconsistent basically had to keep tv on cause when you turn it off I was hard reconnecting complaints fell on deaf ears basically had to deal with it because they didn’t have another tv to swap and all the other rooms where booked

Very friendly reception desk, I arrived three hours before check-in and my room was ready and there was an overnight parking spot for me for $40 right outside the entrance, a really good deal, very very easy. I do a lot of overnights in NYC for work and this was a cheap and easy one, a really nice surprise. N/W train a 3 minute walk away, cute coffee shop right across the street, plus a bodega. 5 stars.

Amazing stay nice resting and dinning area

Parking was easy. Air Conditioning did not work so we resorted to opening the windows.

Last minute stay and was pleasantly surprised. Clean accomodations, friendly staff, reasonably priced, and great location. I'm adding to my list of go to places for accommodations in the NYC area

Quiet, comfortable, friendly staff, great location.

No AC

The hotel was very clean. The staff were very helpful. The only negative i would say was that there was no microwave in the room and the fridge was really small and didn't cool much.

The location was great and next to the N train to get you right into Manhattan. The staff was VERY friendly and answered any questions we had. The room was a good size and we really liked that the whole property was non smoking. The AC didn’t work too well. Which was okay on the last day since it was cold out. However, on the 72° day, it only felt nice in the room when we cracked the window. Would definitely stay here again!

It was a bit subpar but I’m accustomed to nicer. It was definitely a 1 star hotel.

Everything was perfect

Great location: it’s farther from dt Manhattan but still very accessible via subway. Just 5 mins away from subway, but the area is quiet at night. The room is basic yet spacious and clean.

Habitación limpia, cercano a estaciones de tren, área tranquila para caminar

The location was great for exploring Manhattan with subway stops 5 and 10 minutes from the hotel. The immediate surrounding area itself has little to offer, but there is a Dunkin nearby and a couple convenience type stores. The view was great and the room was spacious and clean. The main drawback for me was the mattresses which were so hard that I woke in pain every morning - they need to do something about that. Also the TV/remote was baffling to the point we just didn't use. The staff was fine but understand this is not a full service type hotel. If you prioritize a convenient and reasonably priced place to explore Manhattan by subway, this is a good option.

Great staff. Great room

Convenient

They just need to check the AC, my room was hot even when I have it cold

Was a great first time experiencing in New York. Everybody was very nice and helpful.

I was charged a 150for a deposit and had not been returned and than an additional 150 for a clogged toilet and when I left there was no problem with the toilet ! Stay Away !

hotel staff was friendly! I selected a city view and there was no city view, when looking out the window I seen the apartment building across the street, out of both windows

Nice and relaxing high in the sky the city view is something to look at you can get lost in your thoughts and ignore the noise.

Loved the view. Staff was friendly

Room and view were great. The only thing that I didn’t like was that there was limited on site parking that you had to reserve in advance.

Great place, very convenient commute to Manhattan.

Clean room. Beautiful views. Friendly staff.

Room was adequate. Sheets were clean, bathroom was clean-ish. A/c did not work, maintenance opened the disgusting filter vent, took out said filter and reinserted gross filter. Said it was all fixed. Staff said they would switch us rooms, then stated they could not w/o trying to fix AC again. No fix, maintenance brought a portable room AC, said boilers had just been turned off, and that is why room was hot. Portable AC hose kept popping off, spewing hot air into room. Would not stay here again.

Overall great experience I do have to follow up regarding my deposit

Clean rooms, breathtaking view…. but only if you are on an upper floor. Be careful

Small tv! 150 deposit but it wasn’t terrible and there was a balcony

Incredible view of the Manhattan skyline for an amazing price!!! Our go to moving forward!!

Excellent accommodations for a trip to NYC - the staff were so kind

The room was clean

They overcharged me for some stains in a towel that I had nothing to do with. They said there was a stain and charged my card for 50$!!! The most expensive towel in the world. And I barely went to sleep ther, I just used them to dry my face. They told me that they were going to send pics and never did.

Clean room great view. Competent staff

Had a good stay and would definitely stay here again

Storm storm hit New York City travel ban couldn’t get into the couldn’t get into the hotel couldn’t get into the city try to change the date of my stay cause it was out of my control to hazardous to come to the hotel and check in the hotel staff when I made contact was incredibly rude, obnoxious and unwilling to help wouldn’t change the date so I asked Expedia help me with the contact of the hotel they got the same rude and obnoxious staff that was unwilling to help them as well so zero stars the hotel does not I give refunds and unwilling to help during the snowstorm

The staff was amazing! The people make a huge difference.

Room smells bad , nearly fall in the bathroom. Was slippy meanwhile I payed for Deluxe king room. This isn’t cool. I was there before & wasn’t like that with the room I was given . Smells smoke

Good clean place to stay, two blocks from the N train

Staff was good, room was great except for the WiFi which was terrible and the reason why I am giving 3 out of 5 stars.

They upgraded me to a suite, it was spacious, clean and a great view

The hotel is in a great location of LIC just a couple of blocks from the N & W line. The hotel rooms are very nice and very quiet. The beds are comfy and I slept very well. The views of LIC are amazing as well. The staff were very nice and professional. I will be back!

Climate control here is an absolute mess. Normally I’d wait before reviewing but this is simply ridiculous. We’ve been setting our room thermostat to the recommended 70 and our first room assignment kept climbing up to 92 degrees at 4 AM. This woke us up and I called reception and they said they would get to it in the morning. Absolutely insane - how are we expected to sleep in that when we’re paying for comfortable accommodations? After having to call back, they got us in another room where the temp is climbing again up to 85. Simply infuriating.

Comfortable room, great beds and helpful front desk staff Easy access to JFK and subways

Room clean, very comfortable and great city view ! Staff very friendly and pleasant

Feedback: Wish y'all had more parking, or more space idk. Whoever the owner is, needs to consider investing in a parking lot. Paying $40 for parking that you can pick yourself and people can steal isn’t fun honestly.

Absolutely terrible experience. I arrived around noon and understood that standard check-in is 3:00 PM, but when I politely asked if any room—even a smaller one—was available earlier, the front desk attendant responded with an extremely unprofessional and rude attitude. When I requested to cancel, I was told to deal with the booking provider. I then asked if I could park until check-in time and was told it would cost $40 per day. Because of the poor treatment, I booked a room across the street and never even checked into this hotel, yet I was still charged. Completely unacceptable customer service and I would not recommend staying here.

Very nice qnd clean hotel. The aroma throughput the hotel gave it a luxurious vibe. I would have given 5 stars if the parking situation was better. Expedia should let customers know that the parking is very limited the hotel only has a lot for 16 cars and its $40 a day first come first serve you can not reserve a space ahead of time. i only booked this hotel because i was under the impression there was a parking lot. Luckily even with the snow i was blessed enough both nights to find close street parking near thebhotel. other than that its beautiful nice views of the city too.

Yes it was

Thank you so much for being accommodating to my early arrival. The fresh coffee was a nice touch. The staff was kind and welcoming. The location was great and central. Close to public transport. Thanks again! I appreciate you

Great location, clean and comfortable

Room was clean and staff was very pleasant

Hotel very clean. Staff very nice and the view was amazing... i recommend this hotel

Clean room and amenities

Nice view

Pretty nice hotel for the price

Nice place and very nice people great service

Suite was poorly maintained, walls dirty, stains

Clean

Incredible staff, great price, beautiful views and very clean rooms. Excellent service all around, would definitely stay here

telly was ratchet but it had a luxurious vibe to it and the view was GREAT😅

Excellent, very helpful ! The girl in the front desk that did yesterday shift for 3-11 did her thing , give her a raise !

Staff are friendly and helpful. Room is clean and tidy.

Place was clean. Was safe. Smell good. The veiw was nice.

Awesome room, great location, amazing view!

Business friendly

Nice staff and rooms were clean.

Everything About LIC Manhattan View is wonderful. The staff is caring and welcoming and thoughtful and responds to your loyalty and they work to make it a home for you. And Long Island City is a very cool place with an organically changing history as you move from block to block. very cool.. Lots of places to find and to eat. Take a little walk across to the other side of the Bridge for groceries and other delights.. Awesome Hotel..

Horrible back view. Beware, nice wiew for Caucasian only

The AC DID NOT WORK AT ALL! It was one of the coldest days in December, and the heating did not work. The room was 66 degree without turning the AC on, and droped to 63 even if I set the AC to 80. It just simply blew out cold wind. I stayed for 3 nights, complaint to the front desk the second day, no one fixed it. Same thing happened, and I told the front desk again, and still it was not fixed. There was some huge miscommunication between the HVAC tech, front desk, and in house tech. No one could answer my question, and the HVAC tech never came to fix the problem. Front desk gave me two extra blankets and a space heater, which saved me from cold to death, but still it was not a proper fix. Further than that, the bed was terribly worn out and sagging on one side. This was a cheap hotel and do not expect a comfortable stay at all.

Room was very clean. The bathroom is modern. You have all the amenities you need. The facility is really nice and clean. The young man at the front desk was amazing. Parking is $40!

Great costumer service

Excellent staff, room was very nice! Beautiful view 😍

The room wasn't excessively large, but not cramped like some other places. Nice art, not trying to be super modern or loud. The bathroom seemed to be recently remodeled. I don't know about parking because we didn't have a car.

Everything was done perfectly.

The room price was key. Was more interested in the function of the room than the appeal of it. Happy to say I now recall an appealing room and hotel for a good price.

The bed was extremely uncomfortable. The door didn’t latch well and had a gap. The thermostat did not allow for turning on the air.

They charged is for an extra day because we check in after 4am. Thisnwasnt on they website or in writing anywhere. I tried to speak to a manager numerous tines and have been unsuccessful.

friendly front staff

I didn’t use either the business office or the balcony. The balcony looked like a nice view looking towards Manhattan.

Great location, amazing view, super friendly and helpful staff.

Check in was easy. Room did not have a safe nor were facilities available at reception.

Connected

Staff was good, room was clean

Good location close to multiple subway stops

Just would recommend upgrading the TVs to be able to use streaming platforms like Netflix, YouTube!

Faisal was good

I bought my 2 older relatives to stay at this hotel room since we ran out of space. Check in was great, room was neat but the tables could of used a wipe down. Other than that everything was great. I went on my way home knowing I left them in safe hands.

Great experience.

Very friendly staff, beautiful, clean room and great view of the city. I would stay there again.

Clean quiet room

The room we booked had a balcony, which faced out over to Manhattan. From that balcony, we were able to see the fireworks at midnight all over the city! The room was big enough, and clean, but it was VERY warm. Granted, we were on the 14th floor, and heat rises. We eventually ended up resorting to sleeping with the balcony door open. Despite turning the thermostat down, the room remained a bit too warm for our liking. The pillows were comfortable. The bed left a bit to be desired — it was a little too hard, and you could feel some of the pressure from the coils in the mattress. Nothing too horrid!!

This hotel was great! It was away from all the hustle and bustle, nice little coffee shop across the street and a 3-5 minute walk to the subway. The hotel was very nice, beds were comfortable, everything was clean, no complaints.

View was amazing

This was a nice hotel, clean, comfortable, and safe with easy subway access and food nearby.

A well located, clean hotel!

Excellet!!

Friendly staff

Great stay !!!!

View was incredible, clean and comfortable room, 2 minutes from the subway.

Didn’t give me my full deposit back. Said there was stains on the linens. Said they would send pictures of the stains and never did. Really upset about this. Could’ve been handled better.

Very close to the metro.

The desk people were nice checking in and out.

Excellent hotel, very clean and very close to the subway. Perfect alternative to a Manhattan hotel.

👌

Room seemed clean but curtains are dingy and in need of an upgrade. Okay if you dont plan to spend much time in the room. Had to request more soap after 2nd day and towels after 3rd day.

We were allowed to check in early and the rooms were very nice. Beds were firm and comfortable. Front desk staff was courteous and accommodating. Hotel across from deli with a variety of food and basic necessities. Subway station 1 block away, we were in Manhattan in 15 mins. Would stay again.

Comfortable room. Quiet.

Good stay for the price. Clean room but dated, can use furniture and bathroom upgrades. Friendly and helpful front desk staff.

The empire deli was cheap fresh and good.

It seems like it was an apartment bldg then transformed into a hotel, and probably quite old, but very good for the price, and excelent location

Good

Nice room for the money. Staff super helpful and accommodating. Easy access to subway. Would stay here again.

Would return

The hotel is well placed between three different train stations and from that point of view, worked well. Otherwise it's just OK - room was OK, staff were OK, decor OK etc. All fairly basic.

It was excellent!! The room was always cleaned the staff was amazing and the most perfect part is that it's close to everything but far away from the busy streets and noise LOVED IT 10/10 ⭐️ will def stay here again!!!

Everything here felt great. It was peaceful, clean and calm. A perfect place to rest during a busy trip.

The light in the bathroom was cut off while I was talking a shower! You sometimes need to open the shower room door widely while you take your shower to avoid darkness. Just a reminder! ;)

The stay was very delightful. We were warmly greeted by Victoria the front desk receptionist who made sure we got a room with an amazing view. Looking for ways to going back :)

Front desk staffs are super friendly! Would stay again.

Straight to the point room at a decent price. Comfortable with working AC.

loved the balcony. some nice restaurants in the area. and near the subway.

I was very happy with the balcony. We used it to test our layers outside. Ample space at an adequate cost. Very sweet staff. It will be fantastic when the restaurant opens up.

Nice room with balcony.

The location of the property was very nice as it was in a 3 minute walking distance to the subway which was one of the main lines. The staff was very friendly but it didnt make up for the dingy hotel.

Staff were helpful and the room was a good size. Location was perfect as short walking distance to the station and had a lovely view. Rooms could have been cleaner. Lack of proper ventilation was also an issue as window access is minimal.

Clean room, and staff was very accommodating to requests. Great location - only minutes away from subway stations.

They’ll scam you out of your deposit by saying you left the room smelling of smoke even if you don’t smoke and when you ask about it they’ll make up a story saying how unbearable it was even tho you don’t smoke at all. Very unfortunate after having a good trip to be taken advantage of like this.

It was amazing. The receptionist checked us in at 11:47pm and was still very attentive. Will be back!

👍

Great place

Would definitely stay here in the future when i visit.

Great location close to the N line for easy access to Manhattan. Has comfy king beds which is hard to find at this price point. Friendly front desk staff.

Nice hotel!

It was clean and the staff was very pleasant.

The view of Manhattan and the morning sunrises were just wonderful

Great hotel! Would definitely stay again! Loved that it was quiet, safe and a short subway to downtown manhattan. Staff were so helpful. I’ll come back here!

Horrible check in experience, specially having 2 rooms. Dirty rugs all around. Broken microwave. No coffee by 9am, or no milk. Not a single time we were greeted while coming in the lobby. Even at 2 am they did not even look up to see who it was coming into the property at that time in the morning. Bed was incredibly uncomfortable, noisy, hard, springy, sheets were clean. Room itself was really clean, I'm sure the latin dude( seemed colombian) takes care of it. Saw him cleaning the room in front and he definitely takes pride in his work. Other thst that. Just location.

I would have given five stars overall, but for the lack of A/C. Yes, it was October, but the sun still shines and heats up the room thru the window. At times, it was too toasty in the room. A/C needs to be available year-round!

the air conditioning on the room didnt work properly, it didnt cool, fortunately the temperature outside was cool, so it was not a big deal

Common area was very quiet and Well-maintained

Basic accommodations; very conveniently located about a block from the subway. Good landing point to explore Manhattan and Queens.

I got mites in this hotel .

No heat , outdated , feels haunted and cold

Staff was SUPER FRIENDLY.

Train and bus stop two blocks away, room are big, wonderful views.

The hotel was clean and the service was friendly.

Would stay there afain

stop

Room was clean and spacious. Bed was comfortable as well. Quiet location with easy access to subway

Great stay. Would stay again. Very clean.

Very clean and well kept. Real easy to check in and out with no fuss, and a pretty good location for subway access. Also, a few cute breakfast options really close.

Close to train station and a gew stops to Manhattan

Good place

Great stay just outside Manhattan! Super easy to get to Manhattan at 39 Ave - Dutch Kills which is literally a 5minute walk around the corner. Staff were super kind and helpful. Great price. Clean. Great showers. Will be back on our next trip! Looking forward to exploring more of Long Island City next time.

Great stay

- staff was incredibly kinda and helpful - the furniture in the room was modern and in good condition - the bed was comfortable - the internet worked well The bad: So... the A/C was forced into "winter mode" (late Sept, it was high humidity and 80 degrees out), which you could temporarily override by setting the temperature very low. But every 90 minute or so it would switch back, turning of the A/C, and letting the room heat up. Given it was 80 outside, I'd wake up to the room being 78 in the middle of the night, several times. Even wetting the AC to 60, I could never get the room below 74 degrees. I reported this after the 2nd day and the maintenance guy came and switched the display from F to C, and said "Now the degrees are lower." I explained this doesn't actually change the temperature, and it was hot as hell. After a bit of arguing, he said he could install a portable AC in the room if I wanted. I asked if other rooms were better and he said he wasn't sure. He called down to the front desk to see if I could switch rooms and they said I'd need to pack everything up, come down and they could check me out and check me back in. I decided that was a lot of work with no guarantee another room was better so asked him to install the portable. He did, and while it was incredibly load, it did manage to keep the room at ~69 (though I had it set to 65), throughout the night, which was much more comfortable.

Very accessible to the train stations.

Great location

Lousy neighborhood

Good experience!

I enjoyed the views of Manhattan from my balcony. The property was also well connected with many options of the metro.

Good alternative to $$$ of manhattan, taking the N train.

My stay at LIC Manhattan View Hotel was absolutely terrible. Causing me to check in and out within 30 minutes of coming to the hotel to look for alternative accommodation in the city. The nightmare began in the lobby, which offered a truly grim welcome: rotting wilted flowers on the front desk, and broken and leaking ceilings with visible pieces of plaster falling onto the floor. The conditions in the room were no better as the the bottom of the doors were visibly dirty and uncleaned, and the carpets reeked of some musty smell that made the room feel unsanitary. After viewing the lobby and the room I immediately reported these issues and requested a refund, and the front desk informed me a refund was impossible "per policy", and the hotel manager refused to speak with me about the state of the property. While the hotel is one of the cheaper options, travelers should consider it not worth the savings. It is far better to spend a couple hundred more dollars to have a cleaner room elsewhere. I have attached videos and pictures of everything as proof of my terrible stay.

The gym was sufficient and the room nice and spacious! My favorite thing was their 24 hr tea self service as well as the staff who were nice and accommodating! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because our room wasn’t ready when we arrived and they seemed a bit understaffed, but they did apologize and even gave us a late check out, so they made up for our waiting!

The staff were very nice and accommodating which is why I give this hotel 2 stars. The room is clearly outdated- the sheets, floors, chairs, all had stains on them. I lifted up the mattress and saw yellow stains all over. Certain areas of the bathroom were unclean as well, as I found dirt and hair in it.

Muy limpio y muy cómoda la habitación.

After reading reviews that were equally divided between excellent and horrible, I was apprehensive when we arrived. However, our room was perfectly fine. It was clean, comfortable, and fit the needs of our family for one night. It was a little off-putting to have an a/c unit just hanging out, but it did keep the room nice and cool. Also, the lights above the door turned on by themselves a couple of times, so that was weird, and then the bathroom light turned off while I was in the shower. Strange, but honestly not a deal-breaker. We had no issues with parking or safety. I don't understand why we had to pay for parking, though. Shouldn't that be included as a guest..? Again, it was fine for the single night of our stay.

I like this hotel a lot. I wish the bar and restaurant were still up and running. However, tons of food and drink locally.

Girl at the front desk had excellent customer service

staff at front was very nice and helpful

I really dislioke the decetive marketing implying I would have a view of Manhattan skyline followed by evasive non-answers of staff when I directly discussed this with them.

We stayed 2 nights. It was one of the more affordable places, considering it was fashion week in New York City. I loved that it was close to the subway, but it served its purpose for what we needed it be. The rooms were clean. I do wish there were chairs on the balcony. The room is a little dated, but other than that everything was clean, which I think is more important.

Everything was good. Don’t listen to the negative reviews. We were on the 10th floor and was able to check in at 1130. Great service.

The phones were missing buttons, the elevator was out of order, my shower didn't drain, all the towels smelled of bleach, it was not a good experience. After standing in my shower water, I went down and asked for something to be done and they quickly moved me to a better room on the 12th floor with a view of the city. The windows were very dirty, can't enjoy the city view....b/c you can't see it. I highly recommend not staying here. The Modernist is around the corner and they're much better!!

Parking right at hotel - quick check in and out- quiet . I like it

Very well connected to the city and to the US Open. Found some good food around. Staff were really nice and we had everything we needed. Only issue was the toilet made a loud sound when you flushed it.

Lots of dining options within walking distance. Neighborhood was safe, didn't have any issues walking at night. Rooms were clean. Metro 5 minutes away (walking). Overall great, will book back .

It was a great value hotel, easy to commute to the city. I stayed on the 4th floor, so there wasn’t much to see in the window, but at least it wasn’t a brick view.

Beware of staying here. The hotel is in a disgusting neighborhood, the owners are all rude (especially Amad), and will try and scam you if you your incidental hold of 150. They’ll claim some nonsense and claim they have proof but won’t share it. The towels are old and the bathroom is unkept. Overall a terrible experience and I urge all would be guest to avoid this hotel like the plague.

It's ok. Old building and AC are units inside the room. The area is

The Indian guy at the front desk makes a face as I asked for a print out receipt. He’s not helpful at all during our checked in and checked out.

Good location to subway. Clean hotel with view of Manhattan

Conveniently located close to the subway line.

I appreciated the early check in. After a long red eye flight, it was great to enter a very clean and quiet room and a very comfortable bed.

Good space not too far from the subway! Would recommend staying here.

The rooms are spacious for nyc. The subway is nearby. Room was clean. Service was great. Simple things like a few more towels, pillows, tissues per room would enhance the stay

The property is clean and close to the city

Amazing view over Manhattan and L.I.C in walking distance from subway.

Ac was broken and room was so dirty.

room was giant, lots of space and bathroom was spotless

Staff is friendly. Location is best.

good

The bed is very comfortable

Clean and quiet

The best part of the Hotel for me was having easy 3 minute walk to the train. The check in was easy as well. Staff was friendly. But the carpets and floors in the lobby and elevator were dirty. The rooms is clean but hotel is dated, it’s okay for the price and if you just want a place to sleep for a night.

Very clean and maintained

Everything was great although the room i stayed in had him stufk the floor and the catpets were honestly disgusting. Also the restaurant was out of service for reconstruction although i saw no construction being done. I'll never stay here again. Staff was nice though

I had no soap no towels

Maravilhoso

Nice rooms and very convenient to subway

Great value and location. Excellent staff. Shower floor incredibly slippery. Parking is very convenient but limited. Let them know you have a car early or use a public lot nearby.

Stepping into LIC Manhattan View is like catching your first glimpse of the skyline at dawn, familiar yet thrilling. From the warm welcome at the front desk to the spotless room waiting at check-in, every detail felt effortless. Parking was easy with charge, the staff genuinely inviting, and leaving my room after my stay felt like saying goodbye to a friend who kept everything in perfect order while I was away. A space that holds comfort, convenience, and a little spark of Manhattan magic, highly recommended for anyone seeking a smooth, elevated city stay.

What I expected

Had a nice stay

n/a

My experience was great. I loved the location as it's just a short walk to the station and had a few restaurants and stores nearby. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and I really have no complaints other than that the WiFi could be a bit better. Would come back.

Good decent hotel. Nothing fancy, but serves its purpose nicely and good value.

Victoria’s customer service is ⭐️👌

It’s a decent budget-friendly hotel for families. There’s a microwave in the lobby, which is super handy for late-night ramen or quick meals—definitely useful for families. If you need parking, there’s a garage around the corner, but watch out if you’ve got a low-clearance car—the road’s a bit uneven and you might scrape the bottom. If you're coming from the East Coast, I’d recommend it—it’s less of a hassle than crossing into Jersey via the Washington Bridge. But if you're coming from the West Side of Manhattan, you might be better off staying somewhere west of the bridge.

Hotel staff took a few minutes to give us our room and when they finally did they sent us to a room that was already occupied. This was a safety issue! Had the occupants been in the room the end result could’ve been bad.

The place is clean accessible to the metro and thier services are excellent.

Food options was great

The property could use a little upgrade. Area in front of entrance, they need to be more strict with people smoking and laying around there. It sometimes makes you wonder if its a shelter. They do have signs around the area to not sit or smoke let alone lay down on the bench. But nobody cares. The view from the upper floors is A-MA-ZING! That gets 10 stars! Staff is always friendly! They also get 10’s!

Victoria very professional Courteous polite Was able to accommodate my needs And always had a smile

Staff was very accommodating.

Super close the the metro, very good price as well

Staff is always very friendly! Check in is always easy! The rooms with a view are great! The ciews make up for anything else. But unfortunately the area outside (entrance and out front) always has some dirty looking people smoking, coughing and spitting up lungies, laid out on the benches, arguing on the phone etc. oh and not sure why the towels always smell like they sprayed bleach directly on it. Its always one smells and the other doesnt. One time before i got to catch the bleach scent i passed it on my face and it burned a little. This last time the ac was not working correctly. I got tired of waiting for maintenance to come up (after over an hour) so i canceled it. woke up sweating at 3am.

I had a wonderful stay for work, will deff stay again.

Great room and service

Jus need be more friendly

Lil bit uncommon

Not good at all

.

Conveniently located near subway stations, though situated in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood.

The rooms are nice and clean welcoming people didnt have any issues getting adjusted in my room

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel and would happily return. The location is incredibly convenient – close to everything you might need, whether you're in town for business or leisure. The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and comfortable – much larger than I expected, which made it feel like a home away from home. A special mention goes to the young lady at the reception desk. I didn’t catch her name, but she was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Her warm welcome and assistance made a great first impression and set the tone for the entire visit. Highly recommended!

AC unit was not working properly. Building looked like it was falling apart. It’s a good price for a reason spend the extra amount somewhere else.

Clean with a friendly staff, got there at 3:00 and the parking was full so we had to improvise.

Nice hotel. Spacious rooms. Great views. We had a balcony even with a table and chairs. The parking is very limited. We found free street parking though two blocks away.

However there were a couple things that weren’t favorable during the short stay.. 1. Being the wifi being free/accessible The wifi was not strong while inside the room during our stay, making it very difficult and frustrating to connect our electronic devices/use them. The wifi was strong in the hallways, and I thought that was strange. 2. The tv in our Queen size bedroom, was all the way on the left side of the wall and not typically in the middle. Making it oddly strange to view the tv while in bed. Despite these 2 inconveniences, the stay here was good for the price. What I liked the most was the coffee/vendor machines/ice machine/microwave/ and being close to the deli!

I was scared to book this hotel based on all the negative reviews it recieved, but was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The price was much lower than other nearby hotels, and everything was fine. Nearby train station made getting everywhere I had to go easy. Do not trust the bad reviews, there are no bed bugs and the AC worked fine. This isnt a 5 star hotel, but it serves its purpose with friendly staff.

The hotel Needs more work to bring it up to date.

Nicely appointed rooms, comfortable beds, spacious for NYC. Clean. Nice views. Easy check in and easy walk to the train station to NYC. I will book again. A few homeless people nearby but property felt safe. Hotel should stay reasonable because of this. Lobby could use a refresh.

The AC was on and off for the whole night other than that everything was good.

Good stay for a night or two in NYC! Close to N/W Subway for quick access to Manhattan. The property is older so the rooms are small and furniture isn't as modern but well maintained and clean. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Would recommend/stay here again.

small and old room

The hotel was perfect for what I needed, a place to sleep and shower while there for training. Clean room, friendly staff, and everything worked the way it should. I liked the convenience to LIC, very walkable. Probably comparable to other streets in NYC, it’s a bit dirty and had some homeless people, but I felt relatively safe walking in the morning and evening. Great stay, thank you!

Was promised balcony and it was nailed shut.

The AC was terrible and would not let you turn down the thermostat below 68 Degrees and the temp in the room never went below 74 Degrees. I should get 1 day of parking fee returned and a discount on the AC not working.

For the cleaner to keep it up the good work for other guest.

The shower door isn’t completely sealed when the door closes. During shower, water got out and making a mess. Bed sheets didn’t look clean

The place was nice just a few things like the shower head came off when we turned the shower on. The room smelled bad but with some spray it got better. Al in all not horrible but not the best I’ve stayed in

In the property in general it felt hot, my room never went below 74 degrees and that day it was very hot

Good

I excellent

Was ok and easy access to city

Good

good location, next to subway.

I could smoke

Going back to NYC to visit friends, family and take a trip down memory lane. Wonderful hotel near the su way.

Hotel room is ok but the walls are THIN. Just needed to crash for a work event but the lower price point = the place is full of young couples… enjoying their nights. Was woken up all night long and front desk does nothing. Will not be back here.

Collected security deposit that was never returned to my card. Beds feel like concrete.

Great location, friendly staff, reasonable parking rate

The hotel staff was very professional and friendly. And the room was very clean.

Great for a short stay. Nice view very clean and quiet.

Our room was the premium city view, view was outstanding. Very helpful and friendly staff!

Great location. Reasonable rates considering it's in NYC. Nice room. Weak Wi-fi, however, and no food service at all except for free coffee.

I did not like a light that could not be turned off in the corridor outside the bathroom. Kept me awake at nights

Experience here was horrible and a lie! Website claims it’s “eco friendly” but they used plastic containers as bottles of soap and shampoo and there was not a plant in any of the rooms like depicted in the pictures online. The air conditioner in our room was broke and did not turned on, trash was inside our drawers, the carpets were dirty and not vacuumed, the lights in both the front door and bathroom turned on and off automatically, even if you switched it off, which made it annoying to try and sleep throughout the night. When we tried to call for room service, the phone was broke and buttons were missing, as well as the wires cut off from both the phone AND alarm clock. So we went downstairs and they gave us a new room, but it was only slightly better (at least the lights cut off properly with our new room). Unless you want to be frugal and save money, DO NOT stay at this hotel.

The room heat made nosie it was cold. The shades were broken

We were supposed to check in at 3:00 pm but when we got there, they said the room wasn’t ready. We checked in 45 min later. The hotel room itself was clean. The staff behind the desk looked like she didn’t know what she was doing and she was dressed really casual

Not terrible if you can get a good deal on it otherwise keep looking

Great location, good price ! Very nice hotel

Friendly staff , great service , great location

Great

AC not working

The property was an old holiday inn. It has not really been remodeled. The staff is very nice and the location is great. 2 blocks from the subway and 2 stops from mid town. Rooms do not have a coffee maker in them. There is coffee in the lobby. There are two elevators.

Safe place

Good place to stay.

Steam in bathroom cut off light bc of sensors

Safety was a concern

Excellent

New property still working on some issues.

Clean and reasonably priced

Love it

I usually stay in the Long Island City area when I come to NYC. This was my first time at this hotel, booked because of the rate and a balcony. They did honor an early check in but the first room was not clean. Several stains on the chairs and walls. I was moved to a second room on a higher floor, and didn’t have issues with cleanliness. Bed was the comfiest.

Will never stay here again

The hot el is great. Reasonably priced. Good value. Great staff. Neighborhood a little dicey but felt safe. Would stay again

Skill never forget our wonderful stay! Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful hotel, great views. Only problem was the air conditioner did not really work in our room. It was warm. But we were grateful to the wonderful staff. Would definitely stay here again.

Very thin walls so fyi you’ll hear the room next to you. Safe and bright lobby. Building overall in good condition at quick glance. No shower caps in rooms but there are hair dryers. Our room was an ADA unit and clean and roomy. Clean bed (no bed bugs). Air con worked well.

Nice clean bathroom

They charged me $150 for no reason at all when I was told it would fall off and the pending charge would drop! Been trying to answer the phone to get this figured out and nobody answers.

A nice hotel with really griendly staff. The staff was also very helpful with an unusual request. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved the hotel and room . It’s big and clean .

The light in the room kept turning on by itself so we got zero sleep! They tried to “upgrade” our room at 2:30 in the morning, we packed up and went to the other room that had a queen sized bed instead of a king! Also, you can hear the subway on the 12th floor! And now they won’t refund my money and neither will Expedia! I would say it was a nightmare but you need to sleep in order to have nightmares!

It had a great view

We booked a Queen Room with a Balcony but they gave us just a Queen room initially. Once we brought it to their attention they gave us the right room immediately stating that the system changed our room type for whatever reason. The view from the room was awesome, hard to beat honestly. You could tell the room wasn’t deep cleaned because there was a vitamin/pill in the closet and the radio was thrown into a corner by the bed. However, the bathroom and bed was clean which is what mattered to us. The tv didn’t work and you could really hear this one outside bar until late in the night (past midnight). Overall we would stay again if they don’t raise the price, we think we got a lower rate because of the grand opening.

I’m Stay Again

Easy to get to main city

It’s a shame I have to rate this place so low because it is actually a nice new building with a very spacious room and bathroom for NYC. But their AC is just crap and I think they know it. It’s kind of a fraud to list AC as an amenity and not provide it. When I arrived in the room the AC was set to 60 and blasting but the room was showing 80 degrees on the thermostat. I called the front desk and the agent gave an almost gaslighting drone reply of “you can set it to whatever you want”. I gave him the benefit of a doubt but after twenty minutes the temp hadn’t changed so opened the window and the door which cooled it down to 78. The AC was noisy but no air was moving out of it. I told the front desk this on the way out to dinner and he said he’d have it checked. When I came back late the room was still about 79. The night air was about 58 so I did the window and door thing again til I could fall asleep and close the door. But at 4am the room was unbearably hot again. So I am sitting in my room at 4am with the door open again. By this time it was cold enough outside to get the room to a comfortable 72 so I could sleep. On checkout I complained again and got a blank face. They know this doesn’t work and don’t care. Hotels should make them remove AC from their amenities.

Good stay

Nice friendly and accommodating staff

Easy check in and out. My room was beautiful. I’m coming back soon! The only thing I can complain about is not receiving my $150.00 deposit back. It would’ve been sent back by now. Sunday (5/4/25) makes a week.

Did had a wonderful stay! Staff are so friendly (This is NY by the way). And it's very easy to go to places. I would definitely book again. Might be sooner than later.

Need to start off by saying that for the great price they charged, you'll hardly find anything better in NYC! Friendly staff, it's clean and looks recently renovated, however it appears thatn some common areas aren't finished yet and aren't accessible. The biggest complaints are the "energy saving" features in the room....bathroom lights are on a motion sensor which doesn't realize you're in the shower, so expect sudden total darkness once or twice while you're showering where you need to open the shower and wave at the sensor. You'll get a mini-bottle of shampoo and one bar soap, prepare respectively. Also, the room A/C resets itself to 68F if you leave for a couple hours OR while you're sleeping (another energy saver?)

However, the front desk seemed to have some mixup w/ Expedia where the room was not supposed to be paid until arrival but they tried to charge before arrival. Also, the bathroom light would turn on and off through the night by itself which was creepy. Front desk didn't really take it very seriously.

I stayed overnight on 4/26/24. The location near Manhattan was excellent. The staff was very friendly and rooms were immaculate. I'll definitely stay here again.

While the property was convenient to transportation, the property did not have much to offer. I arrived at 2:55 check in was at 3 and it took over 1.5 hours to have room ready. I end up requesting another room as my room was never cleaned. I finally got a different room without balcony at close to 5:00.

The furniture in the room was broken down. The desk was faded and chipped . The chair was tapped up and faded. The bed sheet was dirty. I requested a new bed sheet and never received it. The staff ignored my request.

The wiew is great, no mini bar, no glasses except the plastic ones

Nice place with good equipment.
