The property is a great deal for staying near Manhattan. The rooms a large, well-designed, and modern. The only downside is that the local area is a bit of a dead zone and walking at night doesn't feel very safe. These are not issues if you take the subway out into manhattan to enjoy your time.

Nice inexpensive LIC hotel
Nice quiet hotel a bit off the beaten track but I needed to be in the LIC area so it worked out just fine. Plan on using Uber to get around though.

Great space, even better balcony!
We had a great stay. Aaron was so incredibly helpful during the first half of our stay at the Modernist. The hotel is in a great location. The hotel is close to several coffee shops and restaurants. We had the king suite room which comes with a beautiful and huge balcony. Our favorite part was ordering dinner each night and sitting out on our private patio. Thank you for a great stay. Will recommend it to family when they come visit in the future!
