The room was clean and staff was very kind, but that was probably the hardest bed I’ve slept on in my life. Like to the point that we moved the fitted sheet back because we thought maybe it was just a box spring with some padding. It was nice being close to three different subway stations, and we appreciated the shuttle from the airport.

The room was very spacious and offered very useful amenities such as a minibar, microwave, and hair dryer. The breakfast had a great variety of options, and the staff were very friendly. The hotel is conveniently located near several subway stations, making it easy to get around. I would definitely recommend LIC PLAZA and would stay there again.

The property was very accessible to the subway which was great. The room was clean and breakfast had a good variety. The staff were very friendly. My only negative would be the beds. They are hard as a rock and uncomfortable to sleep on.

Myself and 3 family members stayed here for 1 night on a layover to Edinburgh from New Orleans. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were very clean and spacious with comfortable beds, good showers and great amenities.
Breakfast was included and we were very impressed with the variety and quality of the food.
Buses and the subway are a short distance away. Lots of good choices of eateries nearby.
Would recommend and definitely stay if ever in Long Island City again. Thank you!

Stay was overall quite pleasant, very close to the metro to get to Manhattan. A few local convenience stores and food options nearby. Breakfast was good, hot plates and cold options. Biggest downside were the very, very firm mattresses. Hotel is otherwise clean, staff are friendly and helpful.
