Excellent hotel. A big thank you to AJ at reception. I arrived early (red eye from SFO), she advised I could have breakfast there, subsequently my room was ready and I checked in early which was really appreciated. I have booked this botel for another stay at the end of the month, convenient for subway, Target (fruit, snacks etc) and cancelled my other hotel booking. SFO)

Simple Stay with Easy Manhattan Access

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.

The property sent me a text asking me to complete some pre-check-in form, but the link took me to a website that had no indication of being affiliated with the hotel, & asked questions about my contact info and payment method that should have been provided by Expedia, so I did not complete the form. When I checked in, this caused a little bit of a delay, as the reception desk attendant tried to set up a tablet for me to use to fill out the form ... using someone else's device to provide my personal and financial details is something I would absolutely never do ... but they couldn't get the tablet working, so a supervisor just told the receptionist to check me in "normally". I received a similar text at the end of my stay, to check out, but I ignored it. I understand the push to automate things, & to use technology when it can be used, but businesses need to keep in mind that (a) some folks don't handle financial matters on cellular devices, and (b) infosec is just as important to ordinary people as it is to businesses. BTW: the view from the roof of this hotel is spectacular.
