Cool hotel that needs a lot of work...
I love the look and feel of the Paper Collective, which is cool and fun. I didn't love that the pillows offer not head support (and when I asked for more pillows, it had to be multiple times), the smallness of the shower that caused flooding all the time, or the rudeness of the front desk staff. I will say the maintenance and housekeeping staff were gems -- friendly, attentive, and overall wonderful. The bar or restaurant was never open, so I can't weigh in on that. The coffeemaker in our room worked occasionally, as did the elevator. Loved the gym, the location, and the aesthetic, but I'm curious as to why I should stay again considering that all the basics -- sleeping accommodations, bathroom, etc. -- aren't really up to par?

The hotel was right by the subway entrance. If you plan on going to Manhattan for the majority of your trips, it's only 20 minutes subway and a 2-5 min walk to the nearest entrance. Room was spacious, but kind of ?? that you could tell the ceiling was sloppily fixed from leakage. Also kind of annoying that they start you off with only two towels and a like 2 bottles of shampoo/etc despite our room having a queen king bed which obviously meant there were at least 4 people staying.... staff acted annoyed that we kept having to ask for more towels. But other than that staff wasn't rude and the place was decent- maybe not as a four star hotel.

This hotel is close to several train stations so it’s very easy to get anywhere. The room was quite small but worth the price we paid. I would stay here again based on location and value.

No brainer/best in Queens/NYC
This has to be the best deal in all of NYC. This probably wouldn't be the place for first timers to the city but you will not find another place with as much room as the Paper Factory. We absolutely loved it!

Cool aesthetic. Room was austere and barebones. Our door was found open when we returned from a day out. Cleaning had been in, so I expect they forgot to close it. This is a major safety concern and I'd like a refund for 1 night of the stay.

Watch out if you have loud neighbors
During our recent stay, we were woken up by extremely loud neighbors at 4:15am. We called the front desk to take care of the issue, but nothing changed. The neighbors stayed loud, and we contacted the front desk again at 4:50am. The front desk offered us a different room, but it was 4:45 in the morning and my traveling companion had an important event the next day. My companion had ear plugs and was able to somewhat sleep through the disturbances, and changing rooms would have meant waking up fully to pack and move - making the situation even worse (I did not have ear plugs and had to fully deal with the loudness). The hotel should have removed the guests at this point. This didn’t happen and the guests remained loud until 6:15am. I emailed the manager and requested a refund because the hotel failed to deliver a good experience. The hotel should have removed the guests, and upon failing to do so, the hotel should have granted the refund we requested. Instead, the manager told us that since we turned down moving rooms at 4:45am, that he wouldn’t refund our stay. When hotels.com contacted the hotel asking for a refund on our behalf, the manager again said no and denied any refund. Furthermore, the manager said that hotels.com could request a refund as often as they’d like, but the answer would always be no. This is reprehensible customer service by the manager. It was the hotel’s responsibility to take care of the problem. It was not our responsibility - as the injured party -
