We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the complimentary breakfast was a nice touch—fresh, well-served, and satisfying. The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, and offered great value for money. What stood out most was the convenient location—just a 10-minute walk to the nearest subway station, which runs the F line, making travel into Manhattan super easy. We were initially concerned about the neighborhood being less affluent, but we never felt unsafe—even walking back from the station at 11 PM. The area felt quiet and secure. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a good balance between price and quality. Would definitely stay here again.

Sleep Inn Long Island City - Manhattan View

I booked this property through Choice Hotels and received confirmation along with a 'we're looking forward to your stay' email just a week before arrival. When we arrived, we discovered it was actually a women's shelter, leaving us with no place to stay despite having already paid in advance. It was extremely stressful showing up in New York with no accommodations available—most hotels were fully booked—and all our plans had fallen apart. This experience was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. Please avoid this location at all costs.

The Box House Hotel

The Box House Hotel exceeded my expectations in nearly every way—except for the front desk staff, who could have been a bit more welcoming. Everything else was top-notch. The location is fantastic: just a short subway ride from downtown Manhattan, with plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. My room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with modern touches. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the air felt fresh and crisp throughout the stay. I especially appreciated the well-lit bathroom with strong shower pressure and smart storage solutions. Even though the check-in experience wasn’t as warm as I’d hoped, the overall quality of the hotel, the attention to detail, and the value for money made up for it completely. I’d definitely book here again when visiting New York.

Graduate by Hilton New York

This hotel is hands down one of the quietest and safest places I've stayed in New York City, with an incredible view of Manhattan's glittering skyline. We traveled with our 2-year-old toddler, and everyone—including the little one—felt completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the stay. The rooms are spacious, the beds are super cozy, and the soundproofing makes for a peaceful night’s sleep. The on-site restaurant is absolutely a hidden gem—breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all delicious and well-prepared, even my picky eater loved it. Getting into Manhattan is just two subway stops away, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city without hassle. The views from the room are stunning, especially at night when the city lights come alive. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and tranquility. Highly recommend this place for families or anyone looking for a high-quality stay in NYC.
