I didn’t like the fact that the person I stayed in the room with we were required to go to breakfast together. He’s a super early bird, I’m not. Therefore, no breakfast for him because I didn’t want to be up early, no breakfast for me because by the time I was ready to eat he gone elsewhere. I couldn’t understand why it was mandatory that we went together.

Honestly, I didn’t think it was worth $170 for the night. Additionally, I had to pay an extra $20 for parking, which I thought was included in the hotel reservation. One of the biggest surprises was from the front desk staff, who explained that I needed to finish breakfast within 30 minutes. I was completely puzzled by that instruction. When I asked why, she mentioned it gets crowded. If the hotel doesn’t have sufficient space to accommodate all the guests, that shouldn’t be my problem. I asked if I could at least take the food to my room, but her response was no. This experience felt reminiscent of my school days, where we had quick lunch breaks and had to rush back. Also, the room size was much smaller than what I saw in the pictures.Honestly, I didn’t think it was worth $170 for the night.

Just one E train subway stop from midtown Manhattan! Very clean hotel. Comfortable bed. Not super fancy but does the job well. I'd stay here again. The only negative is my " neighbors" would let their doors slam shut automatically which created a lot of noise.

This hotel is a perfect place to stay when visiting NYC. It is extremely clean and comfortable. If you think you need to stay “in the middle of everything” like Times Square, you’re wrong. Easy access to the subway and a great breakfast are huge benefits for The LIC Hotel. You get home from a busy day in Manhattan, and it’s like a small, quiet town. Enjoy a (take your own) drink and snacks on the rooftop lounge area and enjoy the breathtaking view of the upper east side. I stay here every time I’m in New York.

Hotel was perfect for a trip to the US Open since it was close to the Subway Line #7 which goes straight to the Tennis center. Room & bathroom a little small, but still had enough space for us to put our stuff. Staff was very nice & courteous. NY skyline view from the roof was pretty cool. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise as good as it was with a good variety of options. Will definitely consider staying again next year.

If I could give zero stars, I would. During our stay on July 17, 2025, my husband suffered a dangerous fall in his hotel room due to extreme condensation caused by a standard 20-minute shower. With the bathroom fan running and door slightly ajar, the entire room — floors, walls, furniture, and electronics — was drenched in moisture. The floor became so slick that my husband slipped and fell on his back. To make matters worse, his MacBook Pro— which was open and operating at the time — was ruined by the water damage, rendering it completely inoperable. When we reported this incident at the front desk and directly to management, the response was appalling. Staff openly acknowledged that this level of condensation is “known to occur in guest rooms” and that floors can become dangerously slippery. Their “solution”? Guests should supposedly open windows, crank up the AC, or limit showers to five minutes — none of which is written anywhere in hotel policies or guest instructions. Despite acknowledging the issue, management refused to accept responsibility for either my husband’s injuries or the destruction of his property. We followed up in writing — twice — with detailed documentation and even set a clear deadline for response. The hotel has not had the decency to reply. Complete silence. This hotel not only provides unsafe accommodations but also displays a shocking lack of accountability and basic professionalism. Guests should not have to risk

The twin beds are not stable, the hotel requires that all guest in the one room must go to breakfast together, which I think it was a strange requirement. Since I did not know it, I was not permitted to eat breakfast because my husband ate before I come down to eat.

The staff were excellent and friendly. The included breakfast was good, basic options like eggs and sausage and hash browns. Also bread options like bagels and pancakes and toast etc. The mattress was firm, but comfortable. The room and neighborhood is quiet and safe. MTA subway/train station was very close by. I recommend this hotel, and if I'm in LIC again I'd probably stay here again.
