Home2 Suites Long Island City/Manhattan View

The location--- is pivotal ! It is just a couple of NYC Subway stops away from the iconic Times Square--- which establishes excellent connectivity with the City Center. The Room was superb, with amenities as a large fridge, a large microwave oven, dish-washer, kitchen towels, toaster, coffee-maker (although I did not use this last one). Breakfast in the spacious lobby served was sumptuous Continental type, with cereals, milk, fresh fruit juices as well as some other dishes (but as a strict lacto-vegetarian, I could not avail them, as they contained eggs, meat). My room was well-maintained, clean and with decent lighting, desks, closet, iron with ironing table. It essentially was a studio-apartment. The cherry on the cake was the Manhattan-NYC-view from the window, with the magnificent Ed Koch Queensboro bridge ! The staff was all-in-all modest, helping...Enzo, Omar and in fact all of them. They resolved all issues and gave me pointers on connectivity to the locations I wanted to visit. Queensboro Plaza North and 39th Avenue Station are conveniently located (respectively two blocks and one block away). The Queens neighborhood is an upcoming one, and it feels like it has started rivaling Manhattan, given the skyscrapers that are being constructed. Thankfully, there are lots of food options including Indian food ! One added convenience: public laundromats are in the neighborhood on Crescent Street.

Me and my family spent 4 days in NYC during Easter. The room was very clean, recently renewed with a comfortable bed. Bathroom had a large shower. Breakfast was various and good: from omelettes or scrambled eggs to English muffin with egg and cheese or sausage/bacon and cheese. Plus waffles with a good variety of toppings, fresh fruit yogurt and for who like me has dairy intolerance....they also had Almond milk! Location is perfect with subway 1 minute from the hotel. In the area you can find very good restaurant walking distance from the hotel.

The hotel was really nice overall. Our room was very comfty and spacious, with lots of storage, amazing views and very clean. We had everything that we needed for our 8 day stay. The kitchen was also very well equipped and I loved the big fridge, handy microwave/oven and dishwasher. The staff were really kind and all of the facilities were very spacious. The location was also handy since there's also a metro nearby and we also found it handy to go to the JKF airport.

Excellent location. Nice neighborhood with shops and restaurants in walking distance. 3 minute walk to station so easy access for sightseeing but nice not to stay in the centre of all the attractions. Well equipped room with fridge, microwave, coffee maker, cups/plates etc. Was nice to be able to eat in the room if we wanted to. 2 adults and 2 children in the room. It was a bit tight but not a problem. Comfortable. Lovely shower and clean bathroom. Room serviced daily. Staff all very helpful. Excellent value for money. I would definitely stay here again if I visit New York again.

Excellent location. Just a couple of stations away from Manhattan by the "E" express-line. Also, Train R and Train 7 stop at the elevated station. On the other i.e. the Queens side, Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue, a mighty busy area that truly is a melting pot. Our room # 910 was like a studio apartment. The kitchen was well-equipped, self-contained, complete, with a substantial fridge and a microwave, toaster, coffee-maker, even a dishwasher, dishwashing fluid and a scrubber, etc. A fair deal of storage space, good lighting, a multitude of TV channels to watch in your free time. Decent continental morning breakfast is provided, but just one suggestion: PLEASE have some option for vegetarians, such as a grilled cheese veg-sandwich, etc. Some top floors still command a substantial Manhattan view, esp. the Empire State and others in midtown Manhattan. Great Gym, lounge areas. The Hotel tariff is on the higher end if one is on a shoe-string budget, but it is worth it for a couple or a small family. The rooms are ultra-clean, spick and span. Housekeeping is done meticulously and regularly, and the Front Desk is 24/7 functional. I must mention Enzo, Chris and others who were so courteous, cordial, modest... they treat you with respect and make you feel that you are an important 'guest' to their Hotel. They also provide you pointers for travel to the nearby places and also into Manhattan. The neighborhood is a sprawling one, with a mini-Manhattan look, with its high-rise buildings. This place is almost at the Queens-end of the Ed Koch "Queensboro" Bridge, and in good weather, one can WALK over to Manhattan--- 1st Avenue (I have done it several times, during Spring). This is so cool ! Pizzeria, Indian "Raj's Kitchen" Restaurant (esp. take-away 'to go' foodstuff), Olive Organic Market, Salad-bar [especially for vegetarians like me!], are all so close, and so are the public laundromats.
