LIC Hotel

Room was very neat and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom included a nice roomy shower with soap, shampoo and conditioner dispensers. Towels were good. Toilet paper was super thin. Front desk and kitchen staff were very friendly and helpful.

Good value compared to hotels in Manhattan and only two stops on subway Line E to 5th Avenue. Breakfast was simple, but plentiful and included in the price, unlike many hotels in NY which cost a lot more and don't even give you a bagel and coffee without extra charge. It's also really easy to get to JFK airport on Line E for a $3 single fare. Just take the subway out to Jamaica and then get the JFK air train.

At arrival, I was a bit disappointed as the building looks more like a motel than a NYC hotel. However, the room was actually pretty nice: good size, comfy bed, fridge, and I had requested a quiet room so it was top floor and end of the corridor. The hotel is just one block from Court Sq metro station with exellent connections to Manhattan. There are restaurants and shops nearby (as well as two microbreweries and a MoMA side show). Breakfast was included.

This hotel has a great values on many aspects. First, the breakfast was excellent, the crews were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast itself were delicious and well prepared. All that were served tasted really good. Even my children very happy with the breakfast., they did not just throw some ingredients and cook it, instead they made it out of scratch and it tasted good and fresh! Second, the cleaning service staff are super excellent! They cleaned our room very neatly and they gave a bottle of water everyday. Third, the customer service ladies and gentleman were great. they were very helpful. We were trying to see how it feels to use a subway, the front girl even printed the directions (unbelievably nice service)! Last but not least, when we first got there our hot shower did not work, we called the front desk - they responded right away and changed the room and we were able to enjoy our hot shower in the middle of winter season. If I knew this hotel was that great I would stay in LIC for all 2 weeks of our vacation. The most important thing in this business is a friendly, nice, knowledgeable and down to earth staff, and I can attest that LIC hotel has it all. CONGRATULATIONS on being a very good hotel, If I can give it 11 out of 10, I would. My children said the same thing. Thank you for having us as your guests.

Hotel is very close to metro (around 5 min walking) and you can get in 15 minutes to Times Square or Central park. This is ideal spot to explore NY city. Very good breakfast served on real plates (no plastic) with real cutlery (no plastic). Comfortable room with everything you need. Fantastic roof terrace with seating and view of Manhattan, ideal for evening chillout with wine in hand.
