Stayed at LIC Plaza hotel for one night. The room was very clean and the other guests I met at the lobby and morning breakfast were families and tourists. Subway stations (Queensboro Plaza and Queens Plaza) within walking distance. Hotel is basic with no frills but has all you need for a short stay.

I walked in and the receptionist was cold and unfriendly. Mechanical. I was less than impressed and also being offered a bottle of wine for being VIP when I am sober for 3 years, didn’t even think to ask me if the gift was ok!!!! No gym but for the price im unsure why not even the most basic of treadmills would’ve sufficed. No just no

The property is well-maintained and clean, with a good breakfast offering that includes salads and some continental options. The staff is friendly and accommodating. However, the internet was too slow for web meetings or video calls, and the heating was insufficient to keep the room warm. Bringing extra warm clothing or blankets is recommended during winter.
