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 The look of the hotel is severely outdated.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.

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.

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.

Clean and affordable room. Location was near public transportation and reliable overnight parking. No working USB port in the room. Had to ask for my free bottle of wine at checkout. Overall, nice spot, would come back.

This was a clean property with friendly staff. On the last day one of the staff people noticed I didnt eat breakfast and was willing to have kitchen staff to make me breakfast. I thought this was so nice I declined because I dont typically eat breakfast but the thought and gesture of him was very heart warming. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. I would also stay here again.

Very nice budget hotel with excellent access to Manhattan in a pretty safe area. Subway is 3 blocks away. Simple but ample breakfast is very handy to get started for the day. They kept refilling food till the end time which was very nice. The property seems to have been renovated so the rooms are updated and fresh (don't judge it from the sign board outside :)) Highly recommend for families.
