The room was ok, but not for the per night price. At check in the front desk person was gone, we waited 10 minutes for her to get back and check us in. The water in the shower was also cold.

The staff was so welcoming and helpful! They were quick to answer my texts before checking in and were available during our stay. It was such a lovely hotel! The room we had with the private balcony was so beautiful and perfect. It was also such a short walk to the subway. My daughter and I had an amazing stay and will be back!

I am so glad I found this little gem of a hotel. We had a king one-bedroom suite, and it was very spacious, especially for New York. It felt like we were staying in a friend’s apartment. Staff was very kind and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.

Area is not bad, just not as nice as downtown. Room is much larger than others I have stayed in the area (Manhattan & Queens). Hotel is 2 blocks from N, W subway line or 5 blocks from 7 line (15 min from Midtown). All three lines stop at the Queensboro Plaza so you can change trains or walk. Cost/accessibility to downtown is very reasonable.
