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.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff. A pleasant and large room and a good-sized bathroom, unfortunately with a sliding door that could not be closed properly. Kitchen with refrigerator, sink, large microwave, dishwasher. The atmosphere of a small suite with a comfortable seating area. Nice and welcomed after wandering around the city. Everything is very clean and tidy with a thorough cleaning service every day. The bed is of medium size with a mattress of average comfort. The sofa bed is not too comfortable to sleep on. The dining room where breakfast is served is excellently organised with very efficient staff. All food is replenished efficiently, tables are cleaned quickly and with the help of the staff, everyone finds a place to sit even in peak times. The stars of breakfast are definitely the waffles! A corner with coffee and tea, as well as apples at the reception are always available. The location is good in terms of proximity to Manhattan. The metro station is a few minutes' walk away. It is best to skip the walk in the area and go directly from and to the nearest metro station.

Home2Suites truly is 'home away from home' ! It has a pivotal location, proximal to Queens Plaza North (E-line) and the 39 Avenue (N, W lines) stations. Thus there is an excellent connectivity with Manhattan, the Business District, and of course the world-famous Time Square with its iconic non-stop "action" ! From some rooms, one is still able to catch substantial Manhattan view, esp. the gracious Empire State Building inclusive--- and the Ed Koch Queensboro bridge; despite lots of intervening buildings having come up recently ! The Staff at the Hotel is caring, helpful, giving important pointers on the neighborhood, modest, and cooperative. Mention must be made of Mr. Enzo and ALL his colleagues. They trouble-shoot your problems, assuring you of a comfortable and an impediment-free stay. The room is spectacular---spacious, has a large bed, kitchen, a large fridge, a huge microwave, a dish-washer, various utensils, a Kitchen roll, and a variety of hot beverage-mixes. The bath-room is clean, with lots of linen available. There are eateries, restaurants, convenience stores, clean, well-maintained public Laundromats on the Crescent Street, the famous Pizza joint on the 40th Avenue...Raj's Kitchen for Indian food...a lot to choose from even for a staunch vegetarian like me ! The Continental breakfast has a diverse set of choices. It is well-arranges, timely, and sumptuous and energetic, for the day to start with. Housekeeping staff is not grim, but greets you and is always helpful ! To sum up, Home2Suites is an exquisite hotel ! There is a cherry on the top---the moment you enter room, a welcome message flashes on the TV ! Home2 cares. Home2Suites---Please keep up the Good Work !!!

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.

Rooms are excellent. Good service and excellent house keeping. Allowed early check-in at 11 am for one of our rooms. They also allowed us to eat our food in the breakfast area while we waited. Breakfast is overall good. Great location 3 min from Subway station. Staff received delivered food and set them aside labeled. Sink was clogged in kitchen and bathroom which was declogged promptly. We misplaced the room keys inside the room and the manager generated a new key for us at no extra cost. Finally we did not expect the room to have a kitchenette with utensils and dishwasher, fully stocked including paper towels and dish washing liquid. On asking they also gave us additional pans with a portable cooktop at no extra cost.
