Check-in went fine. That’s where everything positive ended. The room was in a completely unsanitary condition. Hair was everywhere: on the floor, in the towels, in the bed, in the sink, in the bathtub, and on the bathroom tiles. The pillows were stained. The floor was covered with small debris. There was only one nightstand next to the bed. The cleaning was absolutely unacceptable and far below any hotel standard. It felt as if the room had not been cleaned at all before our arrival. Requesting additional housekeeping made no sense given the initial condition of the room. As a result, we had to buy antibacterial wipes at our own expense and clean the floors, all bathroom tiles, the bathtub, the toilet, and the sinks ourselves. The hotel’s location is another major downside. The area feels unsafe, and returning in the evening was genuinely frightening. This is not an emotional complaint but a factual description of what happened. Not a single word in this review is exaggerated.

Hotel was clean and comfortable but no shops or reatairants neaby that I would ever feel safe entering. Neighborhood unsafe. The walk to train station was through the dilapidated housong projects with people living on streets, smoking weed and garbage everywhere. We had to Iber from train because it was too risky walking.

The location for this hotel is convenient to a subway station. However, the designer for its room is really poor. It has no storage for any of our items. No closest, no dressers or any storage place. The housekeeper has done a poor job. She/he has failed to sweep the floor for the entire duration of our stay. Their beds are super high. In conclusion I’ve no desire to return to this place again.

The room and cleaning were good, but the hotel is in a sketchy area especially if you’re traveling just with woman. Definitely wouldn’t recommend for a solo traveler! In addition, they don’t even offer water fountain.

The hotel is brilliant, looks newly built therefore is very modern. The rooms are a good size, queensbridge subway station is down the road from it. Staff are great. We asked for the room to be cleaned once in our 6 day stay - we tidied ourselves and got fresh towels but the time they did clean they didnt change the sheets which was a shame. They provide soap, face wipes (make-up), body lotion, shampoo and conditioner. The room is big and spacious. I would definitely stay again.

A basic accommodation, bare-bones but perfectly acceptable, located in a bleak Queens neighborhood of auto repair shops and taxi depots. The hotel property is well-maintained, the room simple and functional with a well-designed bathroom. Other than good standards of cleanliness and comfort, the hotel offers few other amenities. Interaction with staff is brief and to-the point. (Front desk staff should be reminded to thank guests upon their checking out.) For guests requiring public transportation, the 21st Street/Queensbridge subway station is a 5-minute walk away; Queensboro Plaza station, with multiple subway lines, is almost a mile from the hotel. There are a few convenience stores and several fast-food franchises nearby. Overall, the significant cost-saving from Manhattan hotels is the reason to stay here.

The room was recently renovated and well maintained. Minimal amenities, only a tv and fridge in the room, but it was more than adequate for the price. Location was just a 7 min walk to the subway for easy commuting in and out of manhattan. The general location left a lot to be desired, lots of construction and trash everywhere. Not the hotel’s fault just know the neighborhood is a bit of a mess.
We could see the Queensborough bridge, Chrysler building and a sliver of the Empire State Building from the room
Majority of the view was this however

I made a reservation for 3 people, as per the room photo, with two double beds. Upon arrival at the hotel, it was only one room with a king-size bed. When I questioned the receptionist, he told me I had reserved a room with only one bed. I showed him my reservation with a photo of two beds, but it was no use. The shower didn't heat up, and the location is terrible, a horrible neighborhood.

This is a very minimalist place. There is a small desk with chair, a cube fridge,a wall-mounted TV, a single nightstand, a small (24") or so hanging bar, and a single small trash can in the bathroom. There is no dresser, and not even a stand for a suitcase to be unpacked from. The bed is fine but very weirdly high off the ground (on a tall hollow base). Also, there is no shelf of hook of any sort in the shower stall. Nowhere to put your soap or shampoo or to hang a washcloth. The room appeared to be VERY recently renovated and was very clean, and housekeeping kept it that way through out our 5 day stay. The desk staff was friendly and was very accommodating as to an early check in when we called that morning (and did not charge us the early check in fee) The location is what you would expect for a spot w block from the river in what is still a transitional residential/industrial part of queens. Street parking exists but would be a challenge. It is an easy three or four blocks from the F train station and two stops into Manhattan.
