My stay at Northern Lights Mansion was a mixed experience. The furniture looked like it came from a yard sale—mismatched and not cohesive in style. Extension cords and TV cables were loosely run and exposed throughout the room, which felt unsafe and unprofessional. The bathroom door wouldn’t stay shut, requiring constant adjustment during use. Unfortunately, the jetted tub I was looking forward to was out of service, which was disappointing. Breakfast was an additional charge, and while the food quality was decent, the extra cost made it feel less value for money. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay more pleasant on a personal level. Overall, the hotel has potential, but improvements in room upkeep, safety, and guest amenities would go a long way in boosting the experience.

Staying at The Local NY was an absolutely fantastic experience! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the subway, making it super easy to explore downtown Manhattan and beyond.

What really stood out was the value for money—luxury amenities at a reasonable price. Plus, there are plenty of great dining options just steps away. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting New York. It’s definitely a top pick for convenience, comfort, and quality.

The bed was outstanding—soft yet supportive, and I slept better than I have in weeks. What really stood out was the great value: you get luxury-level comfort without the luxury price tag. This place truly delivers on every front, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

This hotel experience was extremely disappointing. Upon arrival, we were greeted with rude staff, setting a negative tone right away. After paying for our room, we discovered it was flooded—water everywhere, completely unusable. The front desk acknowledged the issue and agreed to cancel our booking through the provider, but even after 36 days, no refund has been issued. Multiple follow-ups have gone unanswered or ignored. It feels like being scammed rather than treated as a guest. I wouldn’t recommend staying here under any circumstances. If you’re looking for a place that’s cheap but also unreliable and unresponsive, this might be your pick. But if you value honesty, respect, and basic service standards, avoid this hotel at all costs.

This is a fantastic choice if you're looking for a quick, hassle-free stay in Long Island City.

The staff—both front desk and housekeeping—are incredibly kind and speak fluent Spanish, which made my experience much more comfortable as an English-as-second-language traveler. The rooms were clean, quiet, and well-maintained, with no unnecessary frills but everything working perfectly. It’s not fancy, but it delivers exactly what you need: convenience, comfort, and great value. If you’re visiting NYC on a tight schedule or just need a reliable base, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

Absolutely loved my stay at LIC Hotel! The location is perfect—just a short subway ride from downtown Manhattan. The staff were incredibly friendly and the rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. I stayed for a full week, and while the breakfast menu was consistent throughout, it was still delicious and satisfying. One small suggestion: adding a fresh tomato and cheese salad to the breakfast spread would make it even better. Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value for money and a truly comfortable experience. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.

Staying at The Gallery House was an absolute delight from start to finish. The apartment is beautifully designed with a unique artistic flair—African masks and sculptures are thoughtfully placed throughout, giving the space a truly one-of-a-kind vibe. We were six people, and despite that, there was plenty of room and comfort. The large main bathroom plus a convenient smaller service bathroom made daily life so much easier—something rare in New York! Our host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Best of all, it’s less than 200 meters from the subway station, putting every major attraction just a short ride away.

Staying at the Renaissance New York Harlem Hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The room size was just right—comfortable and well-proportioned, with a spacious bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The view from the upper floors is fantastic; you can see far into the city skyline, especially stunning during sunset hours. There are plenty of small shops nearby, so grabbing snacks, drinks, or essentials is super convenient. I enjoyed walking to Columbia University—about a 20-minute stroll through residential streets, which felt safe during daylight hours. That said, I did notice the neighborhood’s safety level is average, so I’d recommend being mindful when walking around late at night. All in all, it's a great choice if you're looking to immerse yourself in a real Harlem vibe without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The value for money is strong, and the hotel delivers on atmosphere and practicality.
