Comfort Inn Long Island City - Long Island City 40.75006, -73.94107

The immediate environment doesn't bode well (dump over road from window; rather down-at-heel neighborhood) but the hotel proved really good value for money. Room was a good size and bathroom too. Breakfast a bit limited and room could be crowded but you got a basic continental breakfast for free to start the day. Staff were very helpful and courteous. A pretty easy link from JFK Airport via firstly the SkyTrain and then the NY Subway. Direct to Queens Plaza and a short walk from there. Into town was easy -literally at the end of the road from Queensborough Plaza Station and about four stops to Times Square. Far cheaper than being right in the middle of town and, in any case a one week travelcard for subway and bus is only $25 and that repays itself easily. Convenient, good value and we'd stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stayed at this hotel, yes the breakfast room is small but if you ask for a tray you can take it to your room. The neighborhood is a bit scary at first but we walked every day and every night to the sub station which is 1/2 block from there nothing bad ever happened to us. So for the price, hotel and proximity to the sub is well worth to stay in this hotel

We definitely had a great stay we were expecting a lot less but it was GREAT parking on the street very quiet area, looks sketchy but felt safer than Harlem!! 10 minutes we your time square! Good breakfast included.

We read the reviews before booking!! The hotel and our stay were wonderful, but we didn't expect 5-star service at a 2-star hotel either! We were looking for price, convenience and safety and we found all three at this hotel! Yes, the hotel does overlook a dump and the part of town does look run-down, but so do most of the old neighborhoods in NYC. The hotel looked almost new though. We weren't there to stay in the hotel all day anyway. We slept there then were off to see the city sights. We read in the reviews that the hotel had limited seating for breakfast, so we already expected to take it back to the room--no big deal: boiled eggs, waffles, fruit, muffins, doughnuts, coffee, tea, juice, toast, croissants, and cereal were among some of the choices for us to eat. (good breakfast!) Go around 8-8:30 there was still a lot to choose from. Free copy of newspapers each day. Also there's a diner one subway stop from the Queensboro Plaza, which is literally one block from the hotel. I think they had late hours. Take the 7 sub right into Grand Central, 5th Avenue or to Times Square in less than 15 minutes! My husband and I felt completely safe in and around the hotel, even when we arrived back at the hotel around 1:30 am one morning. We drove, and were aware of the limited parking. Luckily, we arrived mid-afternoon on a Sunday and could park on the street for our stay--no charge. Next time we go to NYC we will definitely go to this hotel. The beds were comfortable--lots of pillows. The only thing was our air had been turned off when we were out during the day??? Maybe they were trying to save energy. That's fine if it helps keep the rates down. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this hotel for a great price and great service compared to hotels in Manhattan--save the money for shopping! Read the reviews. That will give you a good opinion of the hotel before you book. We already knew about the dump, limited breakfast seating and parking, so it wasn't a surprise and noth

This hotel is very closed to the subway,and the staff was very helpful and kindness.

I have stayed in the hotel before and loved it. It is just after the 59th St bridge and it is a doddle to get to Manhattan literally within 5 mins and 15 mins to 34th and 42nd Streets. There is breakfast every morning and free wireless. The staff are very friendly and the area is quite safe. If you over look the dump yard on the backside of the hotel. You are good to go. Would definately stay there again if there was a good deal.

Don't be put off by the appearance of the surrounding area, it is actually a very nice neighborhood. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and neat. A bonus is that it is located close to a subway station for ease of travel. This is a hotel my family and I will return to again on our travels.

close to metro in Queens, small breakfast room (only 3 tables), poor choice for breakfast, clean but small room and bathroom

Comfort Inn at Long Island City is reasonably priced (by New York standards) and is just one block away from Queensboro Plaza, which can get you to Times Square and Grand Central Plaza in about ten minutes. Also, the Queens Plaza station is just a few blocks away, which gives you easy access to JFK Airport through the E train, which connects with the Airtrain at Jamaica. The hotel isn't the greatest, but the rooms are clean, and the free breakfast is a real treat. I highly recommend Comfort Inn at Long Island City for those of you who are on a budget but who want easy access to Manhattan and JFK.

Hotel location was great ... 2 minute walk to the Queensboro Plaza Station. 10 min by train to Times Square. We could see tops of Chrysler and Empire State building from our window which was cool. But we could also see a junk yard which is right next to the hotel. Breakfast was okay ... less dinning space. Upgraded bathrooms but bad odor. I had to spray almost half bottle of my body splash to get rid of the odor over our 3 night stay. Clean linens.

I have stayed at this hotel before and the location is great! It is a few stops away from Manhattan...The front desk service does not go out of their way to help you, but gets the job done. For what you pay it is worth it!

The hotel is about twenty five mins by car to JFK, about fourty five mins by train to JFK. The hotel has good transportation links, three mins walk to the Queenboro station and a five mins walk to Queens plaza station. It is so close to Manhattan that a taxi ride could about ten to twenty dollars. The neighbourhood is not to bad because it is just by the beginning of Jackson avenue coming from Manhattan. Train ride to Manhattan is less than ten mins. The hotel is clean, the room is good value for money and it comes with a complimentary breakfast. There was not much to offer but good enough for the value and at least you get to have breakfast at no extra cost. I was quite impressed with the room, wireless, clean sheets and modern clean bathroom. The hotel comes highly recommended and i would definitely go back in the near future.

When we first arrived we were not too sure about the location(looked liked an industrial estate) but after settling in and having the subway and New York explained by the security who took our suitcases to our rooms for us we started to feel ok. We literally walked to the top of the street to catch the subway every day with no problems at all (Bought a weeks metro card which would recommend anyone who stays there to do) as we spent all day and evening in New York,not returning till late back at the hotel. Breakfast was really good considering it was complimentary only negative was there was only about 5 small tables and could get busy.Would definitely stay there again as a really cheap base for excellent standards in hotel. ,

Very comfortable stay. Rooms are a little small but well equiped and the free buffet style breakfast is good. Free coffee, drinking water & internet all day long. The subway is at the end of the road which is very convenient. Staff were very friendly.

Rate was reasonable. Hotel was clean. Room was clean and with updated furniture. Continental breakfast was adequate. Hotel service at the counter was great. The hallway was hot, I do not know why. The views are not impressive, but I was not there for the views. I had no problems there. Good place to sleep and rest when not out and about in the city. Easy access to the train and buses. Not far from the airport. Convenient location.

Rates were good value for money. The staff is great. How ever the breakfast area is very very very small, 4 tables surrounded by few chairs. it is convinently located near the subway. Thats a big positive.

Very close to the Subway, clean hotel, good breakfast. A nice value if you are visiting Manhattan, etc.

The hotel's location for the price is great. While not in Manhattan, it is very close. The hotel amenities are simple, but nive. It exceeded the quality of other budget hotels. 24 hour coffee and tea was nice, though coffee was burnt. Very nive continental breakfast, lots of bread options. They even had wifi. I've stayed in a lot of hotels in the city. These rooms were very spacious by New York standards. The hotel is right across from a dump, literally. Neighborhood is only drawback, but it was fine.

just 100 mt from the tube makes it a very good and cheap alternative to a manatham hotel.

I lived in Astoria so I knew this area. It is not a nice area, but convenient to the subway (just one block away). As long as you understand this is just a place for you sleep and you're not expecting anything from the neighborhood, this is a great deal.

if you enjoy a view of a garbage dump from your grungy, cramped hotel room you will ove this place.

Very close to the subway, 10 minutes to Manhattan. Free breakfast was decent.

The hotel is located right next to an elevated subway and is not adequately soundproofed. Bring earplugs. Otherwise, a good value. The subway, as I said, is right there, one stop away from Midtown at one-half to one third Midtown prices. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. Other Comfort Inns offer insipid factory bagels and boxed cereal. this one had hard-boiled eggs and fresh fruit----a big improvement.

This hotel is a few blocks away from the subway and one stop away from being in Manhattan. The place is clean and there is a great free continental breakfast every morning. The staff helped you when asked, but did not go out of their way to help you. Other than that, the room was very clean, yet small. But it did not matter as we were only sleeping there. Great place to stay and the price is right!

The hotel is a short walk from the subway station.

For the amount of money paid in NYC, this is a veru good hotel. The bathroom was very clean and comfortable. Very helpful staff. The bedsheets were a little dirty (had hair... i don't know from which part(s) of the body.. but I don't really want to think about it).. but other than that.. every thing was good. Small rooms but what do you expect in NYC?

This hotel was very close to the subway, one block, you could see the station from the front door. I was very pleased with the room and friendliness of the staff. While the room was small- it was very nice and clean. The room I had was remodeled recently with granite in the bathroom. The staff was accomodating and very helpful with recommending which subway train to take and whether or not it would be cheaper to take the taxi or the car provided by the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

Convenient location, firendly staff, rooms are small but clean and the neighborhood doesn't look very safe but it certainly is. Subway station is around the corner.

Stayed from 12/30-1/01 and was a great inexpensive option vs Manhattan. It was about 1 block to the Queensboro Plaza station and the area was mostly deserted at night so felt reasonably safe. We had a room on the first floor which is half underground which is a disappointment, but the room was nice. The breakfast was good enough for free... juice/coffee, pastries, cereal - but there's a severe lack of seating so we had to take back to our room. Definitely recommend if the price differential is enough vs a decent Manhattan hotel.

Conveniet, 1 minutes from subway station and 1 stop away from Central park. Breakfast is OK, although it could get crowded in the morning due to limited space. Hotel is as good as new, rooms are clean. Best of all, wireless internet included. Great value for money! Deserves at least 3 stars!

I would describe the hotel as a mini, Comfort Inn. Each hall had rooms down the left side of a hallway and the exterior wall on the right side of the hallway. The bedroom we had had a king-size bed, a small, freestanding closet, desk, tv armoir and 2 endtables and just enough room to get around the bed. They gave you plenty of pillows and the bed was very comfortable. The heat/air worked great, the window actually opened if you wanted outside air and the bathroom was modern and a decent size. Probably the only thing that could have been a little better was the shower water pressure- temperature was fine. I know the view from the window is of a scrap yard but, who cares. It was quiet and because it wasn't a residential area, we had no trouble with parking our car right next to the hotel. Look at a map to find the best way to the hotel because the streets are all single directional.The breakfast was adequate, there are only 4 tables so get there early or you may need to take your food to your room. The location is perfect for the City, Long Island, New Jersey, and Westchester visits. The hotel staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The price was amazing. Don't miss this opportunity.

Our family of five stayed at this Comfort Inn the weekend before Christmas. The room was half the size of other Comfort Inns where we have stayed. The only place available to put a port-a-crib was in front of the door - we then had to climb over the corner of it to get to the bathroom. The hotel was nicely kept, though a tight fit, but the neighborhood was a little shaky to have young children walk in, especially after dark. The subway was very close, and it was a quick ride downtown by train. The staff was very accommodating.

We went to NYC for the Christmas experience and everything exceeded our expectations! The people were so friendly and helpful. We were aware of the "not so beautiful neighborhood" around the hotel, but we were just there for sleeping, so who cares? The price was affordable, everything was clean, the continental breakfast was wonderful and the coffee was fabulous!! The room was a little small, but what do you expect in NYC? The location was very convenient - only about a block from the subway. We will definitely stay there again and recommend to others!

We were very satisfied with the location and condition of the property. Location seemed to be a little isolated but then we found all the action a five minute walk away. Very easy and fast to get to Manhattan via Subway.

Nice hotel for the price - much cheaper than downtown Manhattan. Subway on a block away - in times square within 10 mins. Area not great on the eye but always felt safe. Would stay again no problem. We stayed for 6 nights so saved alot of money, if you only want a couple of nights maybe its worth paying more to be more central. Room was a little too small for two people.

All the facilities you need and awesome location for the price. Would definately go back!

I would definately stay at this hotel again. It's very close to two major subway stations. The room was clean and workable. The bathroom was surpringly nice and spacious (considering New York City standards). The neighborhood wasn't great...more industrial than anything else, but I didn't feel unsafe. I thought that the breakfast area was small, but they allowed people to eat in the waiting area of the lobby.

For the price, being so close to Manhattan and being so close to 2 subway stations, this place was a steal. It wasn't the fanciest place, but I felt it was clean and safe. Although I do have to say that the surrounding area is a bit sketchy, so I would only take a cab back after 10pm rather than the nearby subway. I also really appreciated that they had 24 hour access to a computer with internet service and a printer at no additional charge. That made planning our days and our transportation with the subways so easy! Great place! I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends. They also allowed us to leave our luggage there for several hours after we checked out, which let us check out some more sites before we had to be at the airport later that evening. And the staff was super helpful as well with our questions. Great Place!
