Great stay.
Very clean, 2 mins walk to Queensboro Plaza train station. Everything’s great. I just wish there were different breakfast option for people living more than 2 days. Having said that the breakfast was very nice, no complaints on that part.

Good value and easy walk to 3 MTA stations.
Breakfast was the same each day, but quite a range ofcoption so that you can have something different each day.

Steps from the N, W and 7 subway lines. Hotel room was immaculately clean. Breakfast buffet was included and offered both cold and hot items. There was also a convenient hotel shuttle to nearby airports available for an additional cost.

Great location
I have stayed at the LIC Plaza Hotel a couple of times. It is a great location near restaurants, bars, grocery stores and quick access to the subway. The room was comfortable and clean. The bed was firm. I liked that there was a mini fridge and microwave. The staff was nice and helpful.

Beds very hard and extremely uncomfortable. In a quiet location. Rooms a bit small, no place to put suitcases.
