Surprisingly modern bathrooms with heated towel rails
Legitimately clean rooms that feel newer than the price suggests
Resumen rápido: A diamond in the rough of an industrial Queens neighborhood, offering shock-value modernity if you can ignore the warehouse views.
Reseñado por @sierrataniahofficial: I was honestly shocked by how premium this felt. The skyline view from my 6th-floor room was stunning, and the marble bathroom felt so luxe. Being just 10 minutes from LaGuardia made my trip completely stress-free. Highly recommend for a layover or budget NYC trip.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
The hype
Travelers are consistently stunned by how clean and new the rooms feel compared to the gritty exterior.
Reality check
The 'soundproof' windows lose the battle against LaGuardia flight paths and thin internal walls.
You are driving into NYC and need a safe place to stash your car
You have an early morning flight out of LGA
You prefer a pristine bathroom over a lobby scene
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
8.5
Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is consistent. Reviews rarely mention dust or missed spots.
Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Grout is usually white, and the modern fixtures are well-maintained.
Maintenance: Newer build means less wear and tear, though some scuffs on walls are appearing.
Linens & towels: Fresh and white, though not high-thread-count luxury. Towels are kept warm by the rack.
Odors & scents: Generally neutral/fresh, with occasional hallway whiffs of weed from other guests.

Genio de Habitaciones
Mejores opciones
High-floor rooms facing away from the street for slightly less road noise
Corner rooms for a bit more light and fewer shared walls
“I'd love a room on a higher floor, away from the elevator, to minimize hallway and street noise. If a corner room is available, that would be amazing.”
Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is there a free shuttle to LaGuardia?
No. You must take a taxi, Uber, or Lyft.
Is parking actually free?
Yes, but it's first-come, first-served and the lot is very tight. Late arrivals might struggle to find a spot.
How far is the subway?
Far. You have to take the Q25 or Q65 bus to Flushing Main St to catch the 7 train. It's a trek.
Is the neighborhood safe?
Yes, College Point is generally safe but feels industrial and desolate at night. It's not a walking neighborhood for leisure.
Do the rooms have fridges?
Yes, most rooms have a mini-fridge and a coffee maker.
Is there a gym?
Yes, there is a small 24-hour fitness center on-site.
Consejos de Insiders
✨
The 'restaurant below' is LY Time Asian Fusion — it's actually solid for late-night Chinese food.
✨
Walk to MacNeil Park (15 mins) for a surprisingly nice view of the East River and Manhattan skyline.
✨
Ask for a room with a 'city view' — on clear nights you can see the Manhattan skyline in the distance.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The heated towel rails in the bathroom are a luxury touch you never see at this price point.
💡The 'Lounge' is basically just a seating area; don't expect a bartender.
💡You might smell marijuana in the hallways; ventilation between rooms isn't perfect.
💡The elevator can be slow during morning checkout rush.
💡There is a 'secret' beach nearby (Big Rock Beach) at the end of 28th Ave, but it's more for looking than swimming.
