Queens hotels in Long Island City

Cons: Did not like my room. I stayed in 106 which is on first floor right outside the elevator and main hall (room 105 is also located there). They have recently added a second door inside the room to help keep down the outside noise but it did little good between 5am and 9am each morning. The hotel has obviously had complaints about the noise or they would not have added the interior door with a sign as to why the door was there (noise). The elevator doors were constantly opening/closing and the cleaning staff were busy getting their carts to each of the other floors to begin maid services. Not to mention the numerous people coming down to get to breakfast and the chatter. The room itself was dirty and was in desperate need of a paint job. I realize they saved the top renting units for the top buyers but for what I did pay (which was not cheap) I was greatly disappointed. As I stated in the pro's of the hotel, the rooftop view was incredible, but they have little to no seating to enjoy the skyline unless you want to sit in the covered restaurant, which greatly obscures the views. They had closed off the very top seating area on top of the restaurant the second night I was there. When I asked the hostess why, she had no reason to give and eventually allowed me to sneak up there to enjoy the night views and relax but made sure to close off the stairway access behind me so that no one else would go up there.

Cons: The hotel was under construction and there were no clear signs indicating where to park or where to enter for the main lobby. I drove around the hotel 4 times until I finally called them to get information. You had to find your own parking on the street since there was no valet when I arrived at 4:30 PM. I actually had to call the hotel to inquire about the check in process and the location and called the front desk for the gentleman to come out and get some of my bags.When we went up to the room, there were flies and my husband actually killed about 10 of them. He called the front desk requesting a fly swatter and received no help. We also came back from the wedding and checked out that evening without staying overnight. The bar in the hotel became a nightclub and was very noisy and crowded. We also smelled marijuana in the stairwell of our floorl. It was a very disappointing stay and we will not be paying for our stay there and have requested a refund. Until they finish the construction, they should offer severely reduced rates. I definitely do not recommend this hotel. Stay in Manhattan over the bridge. Might be more reliable.

Cons: Some of the clientele were just trashy. There was a couple making out in the lobby right when you walked in at night granted the hotel does have a rooftop lounge that the locals treat as trashy Queens club, but it was a Sunday night, and the lounge was closed so you can't blame it on the alcohol. Room designer seemed to be obsessed with positioning fixtures in the upper right hand corner, which is ok I guess with certain things but not lighting fixtures. And last time I checked an electrical outlet should be by the sink, not above the toilet bowl, unless they consider there guests really hardcore multi-taskers that can shave and blow dry whilst...well you know

Cons: The rooms, NYC view from the rooftop restaurant, and the restaurant itself, staff are super nice, no-rip-off private car service to JFK.

Cons: They charged me $420 even after the room been paid for don’t go they will continue charging your card with out you knowing then they have no answer to how you getting your money back smh

Cons: Price for parking, fan inside of bathroom didn't work minor things no deal breakers

Cons: Front desk staff were not nice and not informative at all

Cons: There was some construction going on, but it wasn't that noticeable and the club and traffic is audible- that may bother light sleepers...

Cons: The price

Cons: Room we originally stayed had some problems However management & staff were very accommodating and gaved us another room that was much better with beautiful view of 59th st Bridge to NYC. Would come back!

Cons: Nothing to mention in particular that is a negative. If you have to be a hotel in Long Island City, Ravel Hotel does it very well.

Cons: more and larger pillows. More towel racks. Staff was a little rude at some times. Valet duper expensive. Wifi access was not easy.

Cons: hard to get too, no subway within walking distance

Cons: Long Island City is still very much an industrial area. The walk to the subway is past many warehouses and the area is kind of trashed. Fortunately all the streets stay pretty lit up but there is litter all over and you have to switch street sides because of construction.

Cons: I don't think this is particular to this Hotel, as much as a general problem with NYC hotels (in my experience), but for a 4 stars hotel, the quality and condition of fixtures and other details like the carpet and wall paper in the hallways, was poor. For example, the toilet paper holder came out of the wall the first time we used it.

Cons: Sheets were worn and a bit dirty. Bathroom was dirty. I found long hairs on my bath towel.

Cons: The club on the roof top during the weekend was a little unexpected went until 3/4 if you are trying to sleep at a decent time this place isn't recommended for the weekend.

Cons: Because of the intense cold (and not so great insulation) the hall way and restaurant on the first floor were on the chilly side. I know it's petty stuff, but I just thought that being indoors would allow me to walk around without a jacket or sweater, and though I did, I regretted it right away because I was cold.

Cons: The hotel was run down requiring millions in renovations. The rooms were unsanitary in every respect. The furniture was terribly stained with cigarette burns all over the couch and chair. The desk was badly damaged. Lamp shades were stained and walls scraped all over with black scuff marks all over the white walls. I had to check out. They wouldn't refund my money but I had no choice.

Cons: A hotel known for its view put me on the ground floor across from the elevator where I could hear everything. Bathroom had a roach and was filthy. Manager only offered to have someone in and clean. Overpriced for an experience I could have had at a Motel 6.

Cons: The view.

Cons: Our room was on the first floor very close to the reception desk. In the mornings, it was a bit noisy outside our room - but only the first two first floor rooms are close - ask for different rooms if you get them.

Cons: The shuttle to and from the subway station was not running. The staff provided no apologies or a reason why it was not running.

Cons: Limited dining options.

Cons: They have extremely minimal vending. After getting in for the night, my husband wanted a soda. They had 1 machine with a very limited selection of cans. Since you need to walk several blocks to find a store, this had to do. Also, on our second day, we returned to the hotel at 5:30 PM to rest and clean up and housekeeping had not yet been to our room. They came to clean our room at 7:00. We found this odd and inconvenient.
