Guests generally have a positive experience at this hotel, appreciating its cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenient location near subway stations and local attractions. The rooftop view of Manhattan is also a highlight. However, some guests find the rooms small and outdated, and the breakfast average.

    Also, you need to get in the shower early, no hot water around 8am on our first night, so we got in shower by 7 the 2nd night. Will be choosing other options for our next stay in NYC

    Uno de los mejores hoteles en que me he quedado en NYC en relación precio-calidad. La decoración y los muebles se ven avejentados, pero el resto de cualidades del hotel hace que rápidamente te olvides. Tiene estación de metro a una cuadra y media, y en dos paradas estás en la 5ta avenida. Las camas podrían ser más cómodas, pero tampoco son malas. Los cuartos son amplios. El desayuno es una de las mejores cosas, super completo y te ayuda a empezar tu día con el pie derecho. El área es poco transitada por lo que no es ruidosa. Además, desde la terraza tiene una vista espectacular de Midtown Manhattan. La verdad, 10 de 10.

    Another major plus is the location. The subway is within walking distance and makes it very convenient to travel practically anywhere in the city quickly and affordably. The hotel itself is centrally located, which made exploring NYC much easier. Breakfast was standard but included in the hotel price, which added good value to the stay. The only slight downside for me was the mattress, as I have back pain issues and found it a bit uncomfortable. I also had some trouble connecting to the internet on one of my phones, although my second phone worked perfectly fine, so I would not really count that as a negative. Overall, it was a great experience and an excellent choice considering the location, budget-friendliness, and parking convenience. It made my first trip to NYC a memorable one.

    Breakfast was excellent and so organized. Everything was in great condition. On site parking is such a savior. Some peculiar items- - The fridge in our room had weird placement on top of the closet rack, which made it unbalanced. We weren't sure if we could move it(it was rm 118). - Beds were a bit hard. Only complaint.

    Parking was easy, shower doors a bit flimsy, only 1 tissue in the box and no spare boxes in the room after that. Showers have shampoo soap and conditioner. Hand soap smelled really good. The room and entire facility was very clean. The hostess at breakfast gave me a bit of the business when i walked out with a plate to eat in my room. I would stay here again. Thumbs up.

No microwave, iron, or coffee pot but a good full breakfast available as part of price. I probably would stay here again.

    If you want a luxury 5 star experience then you are in the wrong place. If you need an affordable, clean hotel then you have picked a great spot. The staff was very friendly, breakfast is included, rooms are clean and streamline, beds are comfortable. The area around the hotel is industrial but it is quiet. I travels with my adult daughter and we felt safe walking in the area and using the subway station near by. There are several restaurants nearby. We came to see New York and there are two subway stations within walking distance. The closest is Court Sq and it is 2 block away. It took use about 15 min to get to Time Square area and no more than 30 min for other popular spots in the city. The staff was very nice.

    I stayed for 2 days and most of that time I was out of the room visiting family and exploring the area, so not sure about gym and laundry, etc. I liked the complimentary breakfast and the rooms, as well as the friendly staff. My one gripe is the absence of a coffee machine in the room. There is a fridge but no coffee machine.

  • Darren Mar 2026 · via expedia
    4/5

    Overall, it was a very nice hotel with many conveniences. First, it’s very close to the subway, making access to Manhattan very easy and convenient. The complimentary breakfast was a great way to start each day; breakfast consisted of eggs, potatoes, bagels, fruit, juice, coffee and more. The employees were friendly, helpful, and especially organised in the kitchen. The room was ok, it was clean, it had a fridge, safe, tv, and a clean spacious bathroom. Negatives were the loud/noisy HVAC through the night and the limited hangars for hanging my clothes. The price paid was very reasonable so overall it was a very good stay and I recommend this hotel.

    Super clean and the hot breakfast was tops! The roof top deck was underwhelming. It looks better in the photos. The picnic tables were flimsy but the view was nice. There is not enough nice furniture to make it a hang out spot. Perhaps planning a happy hour or board game time could make that space more attractive and user friendly.

    The hotel itself is very nice, they keep everything clean, plenty of hot water in the bathroom. Admittedly, our room was on the small side, but I chose the smallest room because it was the cheapest. So just be aware if you book the tradesmen room (full bed) just know there’s not a lot of room. The breakfast every morning was stellar, the absolute best breakfast I’ve ever had in any hotel. The first morning, we had eggs, bacon, and onions and potatoes that you could mix in to have a bit more flavor. There was also French toast with honey and granola to sprinkle on top. I would not hesitate to stay here again. In fact, I plan on coming back when our kids are old enough to visit New York City.

I'm glad that the weather was on the warmer side for the season, so I didn't have to use the air conditioner. It would have kept me up all night since it was noisy. I liked the quietness. I was in the corner room. There was no noise from other parts of the hotel. The breakfast was delicious.

    I didn’t like the fact that the person I stayed in the room with we were required to go to breakfast together. He’s a super early bird, I’m not. Therefore, no breakfast for him because I didn’t want to be up early, no breakfast for me because by the time I was ready to eat he gone elsewhere. I couldn’t understand why it was mandatory that we went together.

    Honestly, I didn’t think it was worth $170 for the night. Additionally, I had to pay an extra $20 for parking, which I thought was included in the hotel reservation. One of the biggest surprises was from the front desk staff, who explained that I needed to finish breakfast within 30 minutes. I was completely puzzled by that instruction. When I asked why, she mentioned it gets crowded. If the hotel doesn’t have sufficient space to accommodate all the guests, that shouldn’t be my problem. I asked if I could at least take the food to my room, but her response was no. This experience felt reminiscent of my school days, where we had quick lunch breaks and had to rush back. Also, the room size was much smaller than what I saw in the pictures.Honestly, I didn’t think it was worth $170 for the night.

    This hotel is a perfect place to stay when visiting NYC. It is extremely clean and comfortable. If you think you need to stay “in the middle of everything” like Times Square, you’re wrong. Easy access to the subway and a great breakfast are huge benefits for The LIC Hotel. You get home from a busy day in Manhattan, and it’s like a small, quiet town. Enjoy a (take your own) drink and snacks on the rooftop lounge area and enjoy the breathtaking view of the upper east side. I stay here every time I’m in New York.

    Hotel was perfect for a trip to the US Open since it was close to the Subway Line #7 which goes straight to the Tennis center. Room & bathroom a little small, but still had enough space for us to put our stuff. Staff was very nice & courteous. NY skyline view from the roof was pretty cool. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise as good as it was with a good variety of options. Will definitely consider staying again next year.

    During our stay on July 17, 2025, my husband suffered a dangerous fall in his hotel room due to extreme condensation caused by a standard 20-minute shower. With the bathroom fan running and door slightly ajar, the entire room — floors, walls, furniture, and electronics — was drenched in moisture. The floor became so slick that my husband slipped and fell on his back. To make matters worse, his MacBook Pro— which was open and operating at the time — was ruined by the water damage, rendering it completely inoperable. When we reported this incident at the front desk and directly to management, the response was appalling. Staff openly acknowledged that this level of condensation is “known to occur in guest rooms” and that floors can become dangerously slippery. Their “solution”? Guests should supposedly open windows, crank up the AC, or limit showers to five minutes — none of which is written anywhere in hotel policies or guest instructions. Despite acknowledging the issue, management refused to accept responsibility for either my husband’s injuries or the destruction of his property. We followed up in writing — twice — with detailed documentation and even set a clear deadline for response. The hotel has not had the decency to reply. Complete silence. This hotel not only provides unsafe accommodations but also displays a shocking lack of accountability and basic professionalism. Guests should not have to risk

    The twin beds are not stable, the hotel requires that all guest in the one room must go to breakfast together, which I think it was a strange requirement. Since I did not know it, I was not permitted to eat breakfast because my husband ate before I come down to eat.

    The staff were excellent and friendly. The included breakfast was good, basic options like eggs and sausage and hash browns. Also bread options like bagels and pancakes and toast etc. The mattress was firm, but comfortable. The room and neighborhood is quiet and safe. MTA subway/train station was very close by. I recommend this hotel, and if I'm in LIC again I'd probably stay here again.

    This is a great little hotel in Long Island City. It’s easy to find, is a short one block walk to the Subway (and a quick 10-15min ride to Manhattan), is in walking distance to both Target and Trader Joe’s, and is a 20-30min ride from La Guardia. The room was clean and decently modern, housekeeping came daily, and breakfast was good typical hotel fare. It was also a decently safe area. They also held our luggage the day we checked out so we didn’t have to lug it around the city before our flight! The view from the rooftop is great too. The only drawbacks were the beds weren’t super comfortable and it was a bit loud outside our window. But overall, great hotel, I would stay there again.

    The most extraordinary things about our stay at LIC Hotel were the courteous and generous service of the staff and the ample, reasonably priced parking. The room was clean and well-appointed. The one down side was that on our first night, we stayed in a room with a queen-sized bed that was a bit clanky, with a metal frame that made noise whenever we moved. My husband mentioned to the front desk staff that the bed had caused us to lose sleep and they were more than happy to accommodate us by offering us a new room for our second night that was bigger and had a (much more comfortable) king-sized bed! I was blown away by how, without hesitation, they went out of their way to make us happy! Also, breakfast at the LIC was ample and inexpensive and we were an easy walk away from a subway station that was only one stop from mid-town Manhattan. Overall, I would highly recommend the LIC Hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Blew that off only to find when I arrived at the hotel the person at the reg counter said I still had to do it to check in. This ain’t Citizen M! Next was the room. Small and comfortable all things considered although some floor planks were damaged. No closet though. Only a hangar rack with a deck for shoes and bags.problem being the refrigerator took up half the rack for a bag. Finally the bathroom. Only a shower, which is fine, but why have a bath spigot that you have to divert from if it’s exclusively a shower. Weird.

    My partner — who has a chronic condition where she is sensitive to certain artificial fragrances — started experiencing such severe nausea, dizziness, and chills from the chemicals that we had to leave the hotel at 12am our first night. The front desk staff were kind and accommodating, and patiently worked with the Expedia staff to help us end our reservation early. As we were entering and leaving, we could not help but notice that the smell also lingered the lobby and breakfast area. I would recommend that this hotel rethink its use of such harsh chemical cleaners and fragrances. These kinds of chemicals can trigger chronic illness flare-ups and irritate the airways and eyes of workers and guests. It made me and my partner wonder if there were cleanliness or safety issues the hotel is trying to cover up by using such strong artificial products.

    Despite being in the city, it was clean, well-kept, and pretty quiet. The room is ample enough for a single person, and the mini fridge comes in handy. It was a plus for the breakfast, and I believe there was a restaurant above if you wanted. The subway is a literal 5 minute or less walk from the hotel, making it super accessible to get anywhere in NYC. I loved it here! I'll definitely stay here again when I visit NYC in another time. 100% recommend!

    When I checked in, this caused a little bit of a delay, as the reception desk attendant tried to set up a tablet for me to use to fill out the form ... using someone else's device to provide my personal and financial details is something I would absolutely never do ... but they couldn't get the tablet working, so a supervisor just told the receptionist to check me in "normally". I received a similar text at the end of my stay, to check out, but I ignored it. I understand the push to automate things, & to use technology when it can be used, but businesses need to keep in mind that (a) some folks don't handle financial matters on cellular devices, and (b) infosec is just as important to ordinary people as it is to businesses. BTW: the view from the roof of this hotel is spectacular.

    The LIC Hotel is only one stop away from Manhattan but lots cheaper than Manhattan hotels. Should you need an accessible subway station, however, be advised that Court Square is only accessible going into town. Coming back, you'll have to climb stairs or go out of your way to find an escalator. The hotel's rooms are small and kind of bare bones. There's nothing to the pillows on the bed, so if you have neck or back problems, be warned. There's also not a lot of room around the bed, nor is there an electrical outlet easily reachable from the nightstand.

    Stay was OK. Can hear everything in the hallway. The place appeared to be used as a low budget hotel more so than it is now or even some kind of boarding house. There is an odor in the rooms and the building. The bed was cheap and uncomfortable and It did not have the safest of feels. It was just a place to get some sleep from being in the hospital all day. I would not stay again if I didn't have to.
