I stayed at LIC Hotel in Long Island City for a recent trip to New York. The hotel is located in a mostly industrial area, but it’s close to some newer developments and just a short walk to the subway-only one stop from Manhattan, which made getting around incredibly easy. The room itself was basic but well equipped for the price I paid; nothing fancy, but it had everything I needed. The immediate neighborhood isn’t the most vibrant, but there are some good dining options and essentials like a Trader Joe’s and Target nearby. The hotel offers a free breakfast and has helpful staff, but don’t expect luxury-think clean, simple, and functional. Overall, I got a great deal and would only stay here again if I found a similar rate. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly place with excellent subway access to Manhattan, LIC Hotel is a practical choice.

Main areas of the hotel room including bathroom was pretty clean overall. Shower doors didnt close properly leaving a small gap where water can seep but not an issue. Room as a safe, clothes hanger and clean drawers. Breakfast was included and their food was simple but tasty. Hot water and microwave available at the cafe throughout the day too. Doors are pretty thin so noise from the hallway can resonate.

Good: I was able to find a very good price for a one night stay. Convenient location in Long Island City, Queens, NY. Room and bathroom very clean and new-looking. Heat and A/C easy to control. Bathroom has excellent water pressure and temperature. Pre-check-in online was super smooth, and front desk was helpful. Less good: I'm not sure whether or not the TV worked because it was so slow responding to button presses that I gave up. Wifi goes in and out, does not meet my expectations for a hotel in 2025. This hotel's construction seems to convey noise instead of dampening it - I was woken up multiple times by doors closing in the same hallway, etc. Not a good choice if you are a light sleeper, but it didn't bother me that much. Overall: a great deal in a great location, but not quite 5 stars
