The hotel is a little outdated, there was a stale smell throughout the building, the AC in the room barely worked, and the room was not the cleanest. At one point during our stay, the room key stopped working, so we had to get a new key card. Our room also had no curtains and the rooms are super well sound proofed, so with the combination of the sun coming in the room and the noise within the hotel led to little sleep. The area around the hotel is fine. Not really the cleanest part of Queens.

Room AC barely functioned. No clue why the design of the room would have it where the AC unit is in the windowsill but with the curtains installed in front. Room was incredibly stuffy, we ended up leaving a night early unfortunately.

It was a good place to spend the night with my partner. It was comfortable, clean and friendly staff. The only bad thing was that we got a room without curtains! We had no privacy, and in the morning the sun hit our faces. We couldn't sleep anymore. I feel like this is something that can be resolved immediately, so I didn't exaggerate in my rating and gave it a 4.

The room was clean when we arrived, but we had half a roll of toilet paper and when we asked for refill repeatedly we did not receive any. We had to buy our own. No housekeeping the towels started to smell like mildew. No complimentary breakfast as advertised. No light outside the entrance made it hard to find and

On September 12, 2025, I had a confirmed booking with this hotel. When I arrived in New York at 11:59 PM i have my flight ticket as proof, the hotel refused to check me in, saying they could not find my information. A few days later, the system falsely updated my booking to show that I had “checked in and checked out,” but in reality, I never stayed at the property. I was still charged the full amount of $413.89.

We originally booked a twin room, but upon arrival we were given a double bed instead. There were no room key cards provided, so every time we had to ask the front desk to open the door for us, which was very inconvenient. The Wi-Fi did not work at all during our stay. We also asked the front desk for clean towels and shampoo, but nothing was replaced. Overall, this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The experience was extremely disappointing.

I have had issues with my stay ever since check in. The first room that was given to me already had someone in it. I had to go back downstairs and get a new room. Then the new room had towels that looked like they were already used, a lamp that doesn't work, and a TV with no remote so we couldn't turn it on. So again my husband and I went back downstairs to ask for a remote and towels. No one ever brought new towels and we was told a technician would bring us a remote in the morning. We went downstairs at approximately 9:30 am and the worker at the desk had no idea a out our complaint. So the front desk people don't communicate. So she told us a technician would bring us a remote by the afternoon. My husband and I left the room and came back around 8pm and still the TV didn't work and no towels. So AGAIN we went back to the front desk and finally a technician was called. The technician came but couldn't fix the TV and just left. We were not given a new room until the last night of our stay. The staff was not helpful, accommodating, or friendly.

The walk from the subway to the hotel felt very unsafe. The room was unfinished with what looked like construction dust and debris on the floor. The walls weren't fully painted and the closet wasn't fully built. One of the lamps wasn't working so it was very dark. There was no hair dryer or luggage holder, so my only option was to put my suitcase on the dresser. There was no desk in the room to work at. There was only one staff member at check in, so the line took more than 20 minutes to process and wait for my turn to check in. At check out, I requested a receipt and was told it would be emailed to me, but it never arrived (which means that now I have to call and follow up - I need it for corporate expenses). My biggest concern was the safety of the area. Very poor experience.

This was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had in the United States. The room looked nothing like the pictures – it was old, outdated, and honestly quite scary place. The furniture and beds were worn out and damaged, with no sense of comfort or coziness at all. The service was terrible. At one point, my room key stopped working, and it took them almost two hours to make me a new one!!! The noise situation was unbearable – the walls and doors had absolutely no soundproofing. I could hear every little noise and movement from the hallway and surrounding rooms, which made it impossible to relax or sleep. On top of that, the hotel charged a $100 deposit at check-in. When I checked out, they refused to return it right away, saying they needed to “inspect the room first” and would refund it later. But after I left, they completely ignored me – no replies to calls or messages, and they never returned my $100. On top of this scam, they charged an additional $15 fee for no clear reason, with no explanation at all. Overall, this place is a complete nightmare. Outdated, uncomfortable, noisy, dishonest, and with terrible service. They basically stole my deposit and added extra charges on top of it. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. It is hands down the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in America.
