Wyndham Garden Long Island City Manhattan View - New York

My flight from LaGuardia was cancelled so I ended up staying here. Not a bad place at all. The neighborhood isn't much but the hotel and staff were nice. Clean rooms.

This was our first trip to NYC and the hotel was a great ending to every day. The bed was very comfortable and the hotel was extremely clean. I never used the exercise equipment, but looked in, I think it was a total of 4 machines total, elliptical/treadmill included which is all I was interested in. Apparently this area of Queens used to be not that […] great (per one of our waiters that lived in queens for 25 years) but I honestly never felt that way. There's an amazing BBQ place about a block away and the staff there is great. (John Brown Smokehouse) I had to call down to the front desk for a towel once, on the last day they didn't give us any washcloths or handtowels, and someone brought it right up. We also wanted a car to take us back to the subway the last day with our luggage since we had some snow accumulation and it was very messy outside, and they arranged that for us as well. Great for you if : you want a nice, clean hotel at a great NY price and don't mind walking a few blocks to the subway. Read more

The hotel rooms were much smaller than pictured and the "city view" you pay more for is not of the actual city, but a well lit taxi storage area, some nasty streets, followed by the Queensboro Bridge in the background. None of the "close by" attractions are actually close to the hotel and it is located in a very shady part of town that we felt scared […] to venture out of even during the day and we're from the ATL! Also the pictures of the outside of the hotel make it seem much taller than the 7 floors that actually exist. However, the rooms are clean, the staff is very nice and helpful, the shuttle is fast and on time, the subway is close by, and the restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices. Read more

Pros: Clean, good quality of service... Cons: they withdraw the deposit money from the bank account on the spot BUT they return that money after 7 days!! NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY SHOULD AND MUST RETURN THE MONEY ONCE YOU CHECK OUT.

Small room but clean and cozy. Convenient location to subway and price is reasonable.

In simple words I highly recommend this hotel. Everything was Clean, cozy, comfortable. Very good hotel in NY & reasonable price= Whyndham Garden Long island city.

The hotel room was small, and the staff was not helpful at all. I booked a Manhattan view, which turned out to be no view at all. Also, the walls are very thin and you get to wake up to all sorts of noise throughout the night. If given the chance, I would have paid the little extra money and stayed in Manhattan.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a new facility so from that perspective it is good. It is in an industrial zone however so done expect much in terms of streetscapes or view. The so-called City view is not of Manhattan - but of the Queensborough Bridge. The restaurant staff are friendly and efficient, though the food is marginal. What ruined the experience for me was the rigid […] and bureaucratic attitude at the front-desk - starting with the Front Desk Manager. All requests for variation were summarily dismissed. if you stay one minute past the 12 Noon check-out you will be charged half a day extra. I had the misfortune to stay there for 4 nights - never again. Read more

The Wyndam Garden is a very nice hotel - room was very clean, updated, and very comfortable; free wifi was great, close to the subway (they have a shuttle to get you to the subway, but it is a very short walk.) The main problem - the location. You feel like you are in the warehouse district, and the "Manhattan View" in this hotel's name is only for […] about 1/4 of the rooms. Definitely not a bad choice, but not great if you are looking for a quaint neighborhood. There was a grocery store nearby, and that was also very handy. Read more

Staff just hangs out and does nothing. They sent me to the wrong room and thought it was funny.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The front desk was very accommodating with our requests. However, whomever serviced our room the 3rd day did not give us clean drinking glasses or give us a new bag for the ice bucket. It seems they were neglectful with their duties. However, the room was clean. One of the shuttle driver's was not knowledgeable of the area close in proximity of the […] hotel which should be a must for their duty. We had 2 other drivers who were very knowledgeable of the area and even pointed out some points of interest. Overall it was a nice hotel in a convenient location for our purpose. Read more

Not to far from Times Square. Affordable compare to other hotels especially being to close to all the main tourist attractions.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Bed was very comfortable but price was high (even for NYC) considering it was in Long Island City, not Manhattan. They told me on the phone it was a 2-night minimum stay, but I easily got one night by booking on Hotels.com.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If you don't have to be in manhattan I recommend this hotel. It's a short ride into the city and even at peak traffic times, I didn't hit traffic. Room was very nice, big and had all the modern ammenties. Only down side, no room service but there is a restaurant onsite and local places that deliver. I had a room with a city view, which was a great  […] view. Read more

Initially, when we reached the hotel, we were slightly concerned about the location and proximity from subway stations and other necessities. However, the hotel offered free shuttle services on half hourly basis which was really helpful. During rains, they also offered umbrellas which was a nice surprise. The rooms were clean and the staff was very […] helpful The overall experience at this location was great and would definitely recommend for travelers looking for alternate locations to the pricier hotels in Manhattan.

New clean hotel. Will stay again. It is a big savings from staying in Manhattan. Subway is a 10 minute walk. There is a shuttle to the subway station for some hours of the day which was a convenience. The neighborhood is industrial; still, I felt safe.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Staff is very friendly n helpful. Rooms are small but clean n nice. Would come back :)

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were in a room on the 1st floor and could hear all the noises from the lobby. We were also directly across from the elevator so any time someone used it we would hear the pings (sometimes up to 3) to announce the arrival of the elevator. One night we went to reception to ask about the noises coming from the room next door. After a while we then […] phoned them as it was now close to midnight and we had an early morning wake up for a flight. The banging and noises were from the staff using that room. Maybe we were just in a badly positioned room for the noise. If we were up higher or away from the lobby and the elevator it would possibly have been much quieter. The complimentary bus, which picks up and drops off at different subway stops was very handy and at one stage the driver even went a bit further to drop us right where we needed to be. Read more

The hotel was pleasant enough, but located in a stretch of industrial sprawl. The view of the city from the room is kiltered. It's a nice view of the Queensboro Bridge with the Manhattan skyline on the side. It's an emerging neighborhood--took a late walk to the waterfront park six blocks away. Some cool places and great views. Not for the faint-hearted […] as the blocks close to the hotel are a little desolate, but it felt safe. Really nice little coffee shoppe a few block away. This hotel is at the edge of what will be a cool neighborhood in a few years. But for an inexpensive place to stay in the city--it was great. Left my truck on the street overnight so didn't even have to pay for parking. Hotel staff were pleasant. Room was nice but not spectacular. Read more

If you are looking for just a room, stay here, if you want a nicer experience while staying on LIC, stay at the Z. . Here's where things get interesting....The day we arrived, there was a parking space in front of the hotel that was open. We parked there. The man that owns a small coffee shop right next to the hotel was outside smoking and walked up […] to our car, looking at it...I saw this, but thought nothing of it at the time. When we returned that evening, a car had parked in front of ours and because there was so little space between our car and the hotel entrance, that car was on our bumper. We moved our car back to get away from this car, staying inside a white boxed area that was about 4 feet from a fire hydrant. It sat for a day, that night we came back, our car was gone. We didn't know the traffic laws, thinking this white box was the "parking area" YOU MUST BE PARKED 15 FEET FROM A FIRE HYDRANT IN NYC... Our car was towed, the hotel didn't know we were the owners, so there was not way for anyone to contact us. There is no parking on the other side of this hydrant, so it was not a safety issue, it could have been accessed, but we were towed anyway.... We had to pay $185 to get our car out of impound and the another $115 for a ticket. We were told be the judge that cars are RARELY towed for this, but we were!! My theory is that the fine man that owns the cafe called and had it towed because we were taking his personal parking spot. TELL YOUR GUESTS ABOUT THE PARKING. Read more

Very nice

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Since the hotel allows pet - I wondered if there were separate "pet rooms" and "non-pet rooms" at times I felt like our room smelled like urine. Throughout the whole night we could also hear people coming and going - we could hear the doors closing behind them.

This hotel is very brand new and everything is very clean. Rate is good since it's located in queens but it's only few subway stop (2 or 3) from Midtown. So very cost saving

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A nice hotel for the money. Very,very clean. accessible to manhattan. Actually liked the fact that it was off the Frey of the city. My only suggestion is better coordination of the transit to the subway. Maybe they can write down guests names who call for pickup and then cross them off when they arrive..

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great place. Brand-spanking new. Clean rooms, excellent food in the restaurant. The staff is very professional and attentive. Accommodated a change of room request with no problem at all. Close to the subway into Manhattan. Only area for improvement would be to have a bar or something open later at night if you don't want to be in your room, but don't […] want to leave the hotel either. Read more

Best hotel ever!!! Great place, close to the subway station "courth sq" I will comeback !!!!!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was much smaller than it looks on the pictures. The area around the hotel looks kind of shady and industrial and probably that is why the hotel offers shuttle service to the nearest metro stations. There was a very unpleasant smell in the room and the bathroom (also very small), the sheets had some stains and the room generally was too small […] for the three of us, but the receptionist refused to change our room due to lack of vacancy (though the reservation had been made for three people). The breakfast was not included in the hotel rate and though the food was OK, they charge $10 for double espresso, which is outrageous as it is 5 times the price at Starbucks (and the breakfast restaurant doesn't not justify it at all). The so called "business center" is just a desktop computer and a printer, which cannot open files from flash drives, cannot open pdf files, so basically all you can do is check your email and print only web pages. If you buy tickets online or want to print your reservation (pdf) you gotta go to the reception to ask them to do it for you. To sum up - it is very close to Manhattan, but I'd rather make a different choice next time. Read more

This hotel was the perfect place to stay while visiting NYC. Gets you out of the heart of the city at night and is close enough to the subway to get you to the city in a matter of minutes. Suggest always picking a room with a view of the city although not perfect for the price its well worth it. Definitely hope the cost of this hotel stays the same […] so I can return. I have a feeling though while establishing themselves they will be a destination hotel for visitors and the price will go up. Read more

Convenient for us as it was fairly close to family in LIC and to the Metro for our daily treks around NYC. Restaurant advertised as breakfast, lunch and dinner..only open for breakfast. Room had a very small bathroom..no space on the vanity to set any thing down. Neighborhood is slowly changing from warehouse, industrial but felt OK. Advertised WI-FI […] didn't work well and when it did it was horribly slow. They should look for a new internet provider. Read more

The only problem that we had was on Sunday, between 10:30 and 5:30, while we were out, they had not cleaned our room. After calling the front desk, they still couldn't do it for about another hour. The housekeeper did give us fresh towels, though, so we could get showered before going to dinner. The room was very clean and comfortable. We would stay […] there again, as it is very close to where we were visiting family. Read more

It's a modern hotel in a location that is just a few stops away from Time square on the metro. My room was decent sized though not particularly big. It was clean and had a nice view if queensboro bridge. The surrounding area has a disproportionate number of cafes. It's pretty much an industrial area, so it doesn't look very pretty but seemed safe enough […] for those coming back to the hotel late at night. If. You are interested in a more upscale looking area outside of Manhattan, I'd suggest Newport, but I found long Island city to be just fine. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was a very clean, comfortable and even somewhat stylish hotel. It seemed to be on the radar of the European and Australian crowd, so the word is out. The rooms are generous in size and nicely appointed. The location is little out of the way in Long Island City, but just a short walk to two different subway lines that are just one stop from Manhattan, […] so it's very convenient. The price is much better than Manhattan for something comparable. The fitness center was closed for renovations and I didn't eat the buffet, just got a quick egg and cheese on roll with coffee from a little place on the corner. Long Island City, itself, has a number of really great restaurants, bars and pubs. A great, old world Italian place nearby on Jackson Avenue is Manducatti's... They really treat you right. Also, Manetta's was very good. Read more

Brand new, still working out a couple of minor kinks, but generally great, easy taxi ride fm Manhattan or subway. Their shuttle bus will take yu and pick you up if you use the subway

It was an amazing experience. Me and my girlfriend stayed at this hotel for a few nights and the service was awesome! A++++ rating for sure!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Wait a year before staying here. The staff is really nice, but the hotel is not fully operational. They informed me they just opened a month ago. The night time bar / rest described in the room brochure to be open ffrom 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. is not open at all. I booked and paid extra for 2 beds with a view, and got neither. The one single picture hanging […] on the wall in the room was hanging on the wall broken. The shower stall door is not sealed and water gets all over the floor. The sink is a poor design. There was an iron, but no ironing board. There is nothing else on the block. You have to walk a few blocks to get a bite. The trash truck came to collect at 4:30 a.m. so don't count on sleeping in on your vacation. They may not answer the phone when you call. I called three times, they did not answer and there was no answering service. They did have a good breakfast spread which was a positive. Read more
