Stylish rooms, nice views and friendly staff

Lovely rooms ( I stayed in two because my work trip was unexpectedly extended) with stylish decor and great views. Would definitely stay again! Staff was helpful and responsive. They made a billing error but corrected it right away once I inquired. Easy to walk to bijou restaurants and a corner market. 10-12 min walk to the subway.

When we checked in, the key cards weren't working for the rooms. Sofia, at the front desk, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and even had our roll away bed made when we got back to the hotel. She had great communication to make us feel comfortable and safe.

The staff are engaging and very helpful— thank you Elena and Sophia for making us feel so at home! This hotel is located in a place with easy access to the subway. While there is no on-site parking, it was wonderful to have a safe place to park the car right nearby, and for an amazing rate! Our room was clean and had everything we needed — and more. It was great to have dishes, glasses, cutlery, etc. so that we could easily eat food we brought in. (It might be nice to have dish soap in the kitchen area, though.) The robes and slippers were an added bonus! We had a wonderful visit in NYC and when we return we will definitely book at this hotel again.

Super cute, boutique feel

This is a great place to stay in Long Island City. It was a 15-30 minute drive from Citi Field, depending on the time of day. There was parking about 2 blocks away that was convenient. The area feels comfortable. We were up early and took a walk to find a breakfast place. Most things in the area do not open till about 8am. That being said, if you needed a bite to eat, they had some muffins and cookies at the check-in area that looked very good. The staff was personal and responsive. Everything was great and the place was very cute!
