Windows were not at all sound proof. We were on the 3rd floor and could hear outside activity as if the window was open. Having to upload a photo of drivers license and input credit card information prior to checking in was annoying and extra work. I have never had to do this at any hotel Ive ever stayed in.

It was fine; it's a bit of a dour setting considering the lighting and location - my room had handprints on the wall that were not cleaned, as well as a mini-fridge that hanging on a rolling coat rack. The mini-fridge made noise on the coat rack all night, so the placement was not ideal. Bed was good, breakfast was fine. A solid budget option in LIC.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The check-in process wasn't smooth. Staff wants you to use a 3rd party link from the text message to upload your ID and payment which is shady. The only room provided was located at the ground level with windows facing a parking lot. The door security guard stopper was removed. I didn't feel safe and secure for my belongings. Staff wasn't helpful in changing the room. The fire alarm light was blinking and distracting during the night. The ceiling had open wires. Toiletries provided were cheap and very basic. Breakfast was average

Uncomfortable beds, furniture falling apart, slow Wifi, unfinished ceilings, bad smell from cleaning products, low quality soaps and shampoos, mediocre breakfast. I'd say you get what you pay for but this place is way overpriced.

The property offered a good alternative to the very expensive hotels in Manhattan with good subway links into the city and out to JFK airport. The breakfast offered was adequate although the dining area was very busy. Our arrival at the hotel did not give a good first impression. The receptionist was unwelcoming, disinterested and expected us to know how to check in using a link she sent to my phone. I’m not sure what would have happened if I didn’t have a phone. Technology has gone mad. Whatever happened to a polite welcome, a request for ID and a quick swipe of a credit card!

Clean and updated room and friendly staff!
Staffing starting with the front desk, to the people who took care of the kitchen, and to the people who cleaned the rooms... Absolutely friendly and exceptional! They were kind and very courteous. The room was incredibly clean and updated. The breakfast was very good. The only reason I did not give my rating a five stars is because the mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. Otherwise for everything else five stars!

Too bad. The photos that appear on the Internet are fake, the bathroom is horrible, old and dirty, the beds are old and hard, the room smelled of onions every morning because of its proximity to the kitchen. They did not provide cleaning service.
