I made a huge error in considering the price and unrealistic pictures when reserving this hotel. It was relatively close to my niece and that was it. The entire neighborhood was an Arabic stronghold, Hooka lounges everywhere, filth on the streets, noisy, and most signs in Arabic. if this is your preference and culture, fine. The hotel was old, and not kept up well. NYC was hot and very humid. When I arrived, the room was fairly cool and later when I returned after dinner it was very warm at 78-79 degrees. I asked at the desk and the clerk informed me it was fine as the "engineer was on the roof repairing the A/C". This was not true. Same for the second day. Very hot in the room thus not able to sleep well for 2 of the 3 nights reserved. I decided to leave the morning of the 3rd day as opposed to trying to sleep there and the clerk lied again that the engineer had repaired it. I was given a credit for the 3rd night+20% for the previous two days. This entire debacle caused me to cut my vacation with my niece by a day as I had traveled all the way from west Texas. A total waste of money. I would not walk by self in that neighboorhood at night.

It was a great location for restaurants & food truck. Friendly staff & all areas neat & clean

It is a good Hotel for a short stay. Service was excellent it is close to the train station. Everything was ok however the pillows were not good, too hard and the mattress was not good either. I had a spectacular city view, and they stored my luggage for three hours after the checkout.

Very small but new building staff is really friendly and try to accommodate you. Super clean the room is very small but this is New York and is to be expected. Close to everything I mean everything. Perfect location great restaurants bars coffee shops train bus everything. I will definitely come again on my next stay.

Clean nicely kept hotel. Desk open 24/7. Comfy bed. Housekeeping service every day. Windows actually open. I’d certainly go back.

AC was not working.

Good hotel for the price

My son lives a few blocks from the hotel so i have been to the area many times. They have cracked down on the number of Air BnB options in the area so other than staying in a room in someone's house, this is the best option. They recently updated some things in the hotel to make it a little nicer. The rooms are clean. Nothing fancy, but they have what you need. There were times when I didn't get in until 1 am but there was always someone at the desk which felt safe. This is Queens, not Manhatten, so the area is not as fancy or manicured, itnis busy with people who live in the area. This is a real neighborhood area, not a tourist area. I am a 64 year old woman and have traveled there alone and have never felt unsafe. The people are very nice. They are New Yorkers so they keep to themselves, but they are very supportive and nice. Lots of food options on 30th, just a few blocks away. Easy walk to the subway and you can ride to Time Square, Central Park, Manhattan or any place you want to go. Astoria Park is nearby and very nice. The Ditmar area has a lot of shopping.
