LIC Manhattan View Hotel

Great stay. Would stay again. Very clean.

Very clean and well kept. Real easy to check in and out with no fuss, and a pretty good location for subway access. Also, a few cute breakfast options really close.

Close to train station and a gew stops to Manhattan

Great stay just outside Manhattan! Super easy to get to Manhattan at 39 Ave - Dutch Kills which is literally a 5minute walk around the corner. Staff were super kind and helpful. Great price. Clean. Great showers. Will be back on our next trip! Looking forward to exploring more of Long Island City next time.

Good place

The good:
- staff was incredibly kinda and helpful
- the furniture in the room was modern and in good condition
- the bed was comfortable
- the internet worked well

The bad:
So... the A/C was forced into "winter mode" (late Sept, it was high humidity and 80 degrees out), which you could temporarily override by setting the temperature very low. But every 90 minute or so it would switch back, turning of the A/C, and letting the room heat up. Given it was 80 outside, I'd wake up to the room being 78 in the middle of the night, several times. Even wetting the AC to 60, I could never get the room below 74 degrees.

I reported this after the 2nd day and the maintenance guy came and switched the display from F to C, and said "Now the degrees are lower." I explained this doesn't actually change the temperature, and it was hot as hell. After a bit of arguing, he said he could install a portable AC in the room if I wanted. I asked if other rooms were better and he said he wasn't sure. He called down to the front desk to see if I could switch rooms and they said I'd need to pack everything up, come down and they could check me out and check me back in. I decided that was a lot of work with no guarantee another room was better so asked him to install the portable. He did, and while it was incredibly load, it did manage to keep the room at ~69 (though I had it set to 65), throughout the night, which was much more comfortable.

Great stay

Very accessible to the train stations.

Good experience!

Lousy neighborhood

Great location

I enjoyed the views of Manhattan from my balcony. The property was also well connected with many options of the metro.

DO NOT STAY HERE: Rotting Flowers, Leaking Ceilings, and Musty Carpets.

My stay at LIC Manhattan View Hotel was absolutely terrible. Causing me to check in and out within 30 minutes of coming to the hotel to look for alternative accommodation in the city.

The nightmare began in the lobby, which offered a truly grim welcome: rotting wilted flowers on the front desk, and broken and leaking ceilings with visible pieces of plaster falling onto the floor.

The conditions in the room were no better as the the bottom of the doors were visibly dirty and uncleaned, and the carpets reeked of some musty smell that made the room feel unsanitary.

After viewing the lobby and the room I immediately reported these issues and requested a refund, and the front desk informed me a refund was impossible "per policy", and the hotel manager refused to speak with me about the state of the property.

While the hotel is one of the cheaper options, travelers should consider it not worth the savings. It is far better to spend a couple hundred more dollars to have a cleaner room elsewhere.

I have attached videos and pictures of everything as proof of my terrible stay.

Good alternative to $$$ of manhattan, taking the N train.

The staff were very nice and accommodating which is why I give this hotel 2 stars. The room is clearly outdated- the sheets, floors, chairs, all had stains on them. I lifted up the mattress and saw yellow stains all over. Certain areas of the bathroom were unclean as well, as I found dirt and hair in it.

Muy limpio y muy cómoda la habitación.

The gym was sufficient and the room nice and spacious! My favorite thing was their 24 hr tea self service as well as the staff who were nice and accommodating! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because our room wasn’t ready when we arrived and they seemed a bit understaffed, but they did apologize and even gave us a late check out, so they made up for our waiting!

After reading reviews that were equally divided between excellent and horrible, I was apprehensive when we arrived. However, our room was perfectly fine. It was clean, comfortable, and fit the needs of our family for one night. It was a little off-putting to have an a/c unit just hanging out, but it did keep the room nice and cool. Also, the lights above the door turned on by themselves a couple of times, so that was weird, and then the bathroom light turned off while I was in the shower. Strange, but honestly not a deal-breaker. We had no issues with parking or safety. I don't understand why we had to pay for parking, though. Shouldn't that be included as a guest..? Again, it was fine for the single night of our stay.

I like this hotel a lot. I wish the bar and restaurant were still up and running. However, tons of food and drink locally.

staff at front was very nice and helpful
