The hidden fees are outrageous!! $350 per night incidental deposit $75 fee to check in early between 12-2 $75 fee per our for late check out fee (Yes Per Hr) No vending available The first room we were in didn’t have any outlets next to the bed, only 1 by the tv, so we were upgraded to suite that was better but the electric shades did not cover the windows in its entirety so light came in. Just not a good experience all the way around!

Shockingly good
Shockingly good. Uber driver couldn't find it the first two tries, but once we did it turned out to be a hell of a deal. The lobby doesn't tell the story of the rooms. I'm still shocked we were that close to LaGuardia with so much space, for that price.

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 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.
