TownePlace Suites by Marriott New York Long Island City/Manhattan View

Positives: Polite, helpful and humorous front desk! Room was clean, access to roof and partial views of Manhattan, great breakfast and we felt overall safe walking home from Melrose Ballroom about a mile (20min walk) at 2:30am. I added photos of the roof top views!

Positives: I love the location the perfect stay great view

Positives: N/A

Positives: We always stay here when we're in NY because of it's comfort, cleanliness, nice staff + great breakfast!

Positives: The staff were all friendly and accommodating and the check in was quick and professional. The room was a good size, was modern and the kitchenette was an extra that I wouldn't expect in this priced hotel. Bathroom was clean, spacious and functional. The bed was large and comfortable. The TV, air conditioning and the curtains all functioned perfectly, which allowed for a really pleasant stay. I mention these as our trip saw us in multiple hotels throughout the States and some places failed in these basics. The free breakfast was good, without being great, but had all the buffet options, so most people would find something to eat, to start their day. We joined the hotel club for free, which allowed early check in and late check out. If you want a very reasonably priced hotel, with great amenities, very friendly staff, that's very close to Manhattan, I thoroughly recommend this establishment. In relation to the location of the hotel and some of the negative comments left by others - It's a five-minute walk to the subway and yes you walk past some groups of people of different ethnicities hanging around the markets/shops, but at no time were we hassled and we walked through the area multiple times, at all hours of the day and night - and not that this should matter but we are Caucasians - and we got hassled for money in Manhattan, multiple times, as happens when you travel to any big city. We used Ubers when we went out to eat at a couple of local restaurants, because it was pretty cold, and the trips were $10 USD or less. If you think I'm promoting this place too strongly, feel free to check out my other reviews - I always give an honest review because I would want to know as the proprietor of an establishment, what I'm doing right or wrong, so my business flourishes.
