The LIC Hotel is only one stop away from Manhattan but lots cheaper than Manhattan hotels. Should you need an accessible subway station, however, be advised that Court Square is only accessible going into town. Coming back, you'll have to climb stairs or go out of your way to find an escalator. The hotel's rooms are small and kind of bare bones. There's nothing to the pillows on the bed, so if you have neck or back problems, be warned. There's also not a lot of room around the bed, nor is there an electrical outlet easily reachable from the nightstand.

Stay was OK. Can hear everything in the hallway. The place appeared to be used as a low budget hotel more so than it is now or even some kind of boarding house. There is an odor in the rooms and the building. The bed was cheap and uncomfortable and It did not have the safest of feels. It was just a place to get some sleep from being in the hospital all day. I would not stay again if I didn't have to.
