First time staying in Long Island city, from the outside of the hotel not the best and very rough. But only an 8 minute walk from queens bridge subway station, with lots of fast chain restaurants, Wendy’s, Taco Bell and bodegas around the area on the way to hotel.
However the room was excellent, spacious, with a fridge, comfortable bed, tv was good and everything worked, staff was friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this for a budget stay 3 nights, for price I paid £286 worth it. I would definitely be staying here again. I would say go to midtown on your first trip to New York. This was my 5th and I was comfortable with everything.
Negatives
Windows was not double glazed you can hear every sound. And you could smell cigarettes and weed.
