The hotel is situated in a convenient location, very close to public transportation making it easy to travel to Manhattan. The rooms are kept really clean with a nice view, modern furnishing, and fresh towels provided daily. The service encountered an issue with my reservation but was overall accommodating. The dining included lacks freshness and variety but offers grilled seafood. The hotel facilities are satisfactory for a comfortable stay.

The hotel has a fantastic location, very near the metro station only 2 stops to Manhattan, making it easy to reach. The rooms are kept really clean and furnished in a modern style, offering a nice view. On the downside, the neighborhood around the hotel is very shady and run-down, affecting the overall experience.

The hotel is situated in a very shady neighborhood but is conveniently located near the metro. The rooms have modern furnishing but lack any nice view.

The hotel had modern furnishing with a nice view and a Double Bed, but the downside was that the beds were not made often. The service tried to tell me I didn't have a reservation, which was a bit frustrating. The location was in a run-down area of Queens, which was a downside, but it was conveniently located by metro to Manhattan. The dining options were included, but there were no vegetables whatsoever.

The hotel is conveniently close to Manhattan, just 2 metro stops away, despite being in a somewhat run-down area of Queens. The rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels and offer a view, but there are no double beds available. The service tries to be helpful but made a mistake regarding my reservation. The dining options are average with no vegetables, although freshly baked croissants are a highlight. The hotel has close proximity to the subway and the metro station but is situated in a very shady neighborhood.

The hotel is situated by a convenient subway station, which was handy for exploring the city, but the neighborhood felt a bit run-down and not very safe. The service was acceptable, but they had a mix-up with my reservation initially. The dining options were limited, with repetitive food offerings; however, they did serve freshly made sandwiches, which was a plus. The facilities were decent, but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel is located in a run-down area of Queens, which might not be the best, but it's so close to a subway straight into Manhattan that it's super convenient. The rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels, and they offer a modern furnishing and a nice view. The service tried to tell me I didn't have a reservation, which was a hiccup, but hey, mistakes happen. The dining included was served, but it needed fresher food, especially some veggies. The facilities were okay, but there's room for improvement.
