Ramada

I stayed three nights, hotel is quite nice and clean, easy to get there by two subway stations. Stone throw away is the Manhattan which makes it perfect for people who don’t want to pay a lot and still want to have the best for their money. Breakfast place is quite small and not much they offer but it’s free so I don’t complain :)

This hotel was a great value for a 3 day getaway!
Pros:
–FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST!
I woke up super early to beat the line, and took my food back to my room. The selection was a pretty good one for free breakfast. It included 3 different cereals, donuts, waffle maker, bagels, jam, butter, cream cheese, oatmeal, hot chocolate, coffee, tea, OJ, milk, water, sausages, and boiled eggs. There was also a toaster and a microwave. seriously one of the best continental breakfasts I have had for the price I was paying.
–The room and bathroom were VERY clean.
~8 minute walk from the train! That’s not a bad walk at all, I’m confused as to why some reviews listed this as a con. YOU’RE IN THE CITY, GET USED TO WALKING!
–Woke up late the day of checkout, called down and was able to check out an hour later free of charge!
–20 min train ride to go into the city (times square, Manhattan, other popular places)
N, Q, and 7 lines all go here, and the E line is in the opposite direction on the ground level.
–super friendly staff
–Nice view of the city
Cons:
–Room was a little small, but our only purpose was to really sleep there and go sight see
–Area looks sketchy at night because of the warehouses near by, but we walked back late one night (~1am) no issues at all.
–TV had limited channels.
— Ice machine and microwave are on the 1^st and lobby floor (respectively) was a little annoying to take the ONE elevator down and up again.
Overall, great place and location if you don’t want to spend a lot and have easy access to the train system!!!

April 18^th still trying to contact Mr. Kaufhik Patel regarding the situation. Left my number and name numerous of times, with still no response. The man at the front desk caught an attitude with me when I had called back after being transferred to a voicemail that was too full to leave a message. I will be contacting BBB most likely and filing a complaint with a state attorney very soon.

Pas mal par rapport à la distance de mannathan (métro à 5 minutes à pieds) Hôtel non conforme à la description du site. Chambre pas très propre, petit déjeuner médiocre, salle de sport sous équipé. Personnels désagréables. Vraiment juste pour dormir

1. keys didn’t work.
waited an hour to get into the room because the key is not working. It’s not only our problem. People who live next door also has similar problem with the key. They have to stay in the room, keep the door open and wait for the key to be fixed.
2. price is not competitive
they reduced the price by 50% after I checked in. If I had time, I could have canceled my reservation and booked nights at a very low rate. However, I didn’t have time during my stay. I’m really not satisfied with the price.
3. elevator is not working efficiently.
every time the elevator stopped at a floor, the door kept open no matter how we pressed the close button. Apparently the elevator is optimized for the maid. We lived on 10^th floor. So it took around 10 min to get to the ground floor.
4. maids are not doing their work.
one day I stayed in the room and the maids came in and cleaned our room. They did everything in a rush. During the cleaning, they accidentally pushed my comb on the bathroom ground but they just left it there. They had no intention to pick it up for me. After the cleaning, they brought clean towels and gave it to me at the door. Usually they are supposed to put them on the hanger or towel bar. But they just gave the towels to me at door and demanded me to put them on the hanger.

Pros:
I dont know any.
Cons:
8 – 10 min walk to train station, not so close
Price is not too high, but still doesn’t worth it because its not a very good hotel
Coffee in breakfast is not free :(:(:(:(
Breakfast is really simple and limited
Theres only one elevator, be very patient! And dont forget to bring $ with you for coffee before you come downstaires with elevator :(
Rooms are TOO small (I never have seen like this before. You cant even walk here)
They charged us 21 $ more for taxes every night :(which is too much tax for the price
Neighburhood is not good at all, full of garbage and dirty/​not clean area (but its not so terrible either)

I stayed at this hotel for 4 days in April with a friend. I picked this hotel based on room availability and a government discount. I was told this area was a safe area for tourists and easy transport access. The Pros: the beds were clean, good size, room size, had a fridge, wifi, no loud noise from other rooms aside from a car hour, the ac wasn’t noisy and kept the room comfortable and MOST importantly they allowed me to check in at 10am when check in wasn’t till 3. Cons: the dead bolt didn’t work but ²⁄₃ locks did the job, they wouldn’t let me have a late check out due to a late flight. The access to the subway was a 3 – 4 minute walk and had no issues in safety or feeling unsafe in the area. Great hotel in my book! Will stay there again when or if I return to the city.

Pros:
1) 7 – 8 minute walk to the 39 AV subway stop, which is 15 – 20 minutes from Times Square. Getting to the subway stop itself is extremely easy.
2) Big, comfy bed; always fun to come back to at the end of a long day of walking through Manhattan.
3) TV with cable and a basic breakfast (donuts, bread, egg patties, etc.) Honestly, I preferred to eat a real, NY-​style bagel downtown, but if your budget doesn’t allow for that, this breakfast should hold you over at least until lunch.
4) The room itself was relatively clean; couple stains on the carpet and cracks along the ceiling, but you’re not paying for Hilton.
Cons:
1) The neighborhood itself is nothing to look at, and I definitely would not expect to spend a lot of time there. We personally spent 99% of our time in Manhattan, and only used the hotel as our «home base».
2) As far as safety goes, we didn’t have any problems. When we walked to the 39 AV subway stop in the morning, I felt completely safe. At night (around 10:00 PM), it got a little sketchy, but again, we never had problems. There are a number of hotels in the area, so there were always at least a few people roaming the streets. If you are used to urban areas, you won’t encounter any surprises. If you are truly concerned, I’d recommend taking the N train to the subway stop at 39 AV. We took the Q train one night, and there were far fewer people. To be completely honest, if I was coming back in the early hours in the morning, I’d probably take a Taxi, but I am generally pretty paranoid.
3) The breakfast area gets really, really packed; I wouldn’t expect to eat the breakfast at one of the tables they provide. Go down early, grab the food you want, and eat it in your room.
Overall, this hotel is a great choice for people who want to visit NYC but who are on a budget, and who cannot afford to stay in Manhattan. As long as you keep your expectations in check, you’ll have a great time :)

Great NYC value!
I was apprehensive about staying in Queens but the Long Island City neighborhood is right over the bridge which made for a convenient place to stay without the Manhattan prices. This type of hotel would easily be an extra $ 50+ a night if it were on the other side of the Queensboro Bridge but this location was no less convenient.
About a 7 – 8 minute walk to Queensboro Plaza subway station (N, Q, and 7 lines all go here) and then 2 stops to 5^th Ave/​Central Park South. All combined, you could be at Bergdorfs or The Plaza in 20 min. door to door if you catch the train at the right time; that’s less travel time to this area then some places in Manhattan!
Rooms were on the small side but very clean and had updated furnishings and television. Our view of the Manhattan skyline and Q-​boro Bridge was pretty cool.
Included breakfast was basically continental but did feature pre-​formed egg patties so they could call it «hot». The doughnuts were from Dunkin’ so you could stick with that if need be.
Only complaint was that the lobby and corridors were kept rather hot. A/​C in the room was perfect but they could have lowered the temp in the common areas a bit since it was 90 outside.
I would surely stay here again when in NYC if I want to save a few bucks.

This place is disgusting. We got a room with two beds and because the room is so small, one bed is against one wall and the other bed is right up against the air conditioner. While I was sleeping through the night, there were a couple bugs crawling on me. The bathrooms are very small and not very clean. We also found hair in our beds and the beds were not tucked in under the mattress. I’m pretty sure they didn’t replace the sheets. There is also no parking and this neighborhood is ghetto. I wish somebody had warned me about this place so I wouldn’t have booked here, so here you go people. By the way, they also do not have parking; either you park in front if there is space, in the other questionable streets, or a parking lot a couple blocks away. This is the second time I’ve booked with an Indian owner and also the second time I was disgusted/​disappointed. Definitely not going to trust Indian-​owned hotels anymore; can’t handle the uncleanliness.

My fiancé and I recently spent three nights at this hotel. Overall, I would say it was a pretty good hotel. We were on a brief trip to New York to visit family and friends and were looking for a basic and inexpensive room by New York standards. My fiancé used to live in New York City and I have spent several weeks in the city before this trip. This hotel met our expectations and even exceeded them a little bit. We were able to check in three hours earlier than the posted check-​in time (we called ahead 1^st and they said it was Ok after a certain time). Our room was nice and clean. Bathroom was fine. Wi-​fi in our room on the 3^rd floor worked with no issues. We didn’t have any issues with loud street noise which can be an issue in New York especially Manhattan but is pretty quiet in this part of Queens. Only real noise issue was our air conditioner which was real loud and needs some attention (room 308 if anyone from the hotel reads this). I forgot to mention this to the hotel staff so I won’t take off too much for this but they surely have to be aware of it. Free breakfast was included but we only woke once in time to take advantage of it since we were out late (served from 6 – 10 am). It is basic consisting mainly of bread, cereal, juice, coffee, and eggs.) One bad side to breakfast is that the dining area is rather small and most people were eating close to 10 so there wasn’t much room to sit. Some people were taking food back up to their room. Location of the hotel is pretty convenient to public transportation. It is located a few blocks from either the 39^th Ave subway for the N & Q lines, Queensboro Plaza for the N, Q, or 7 trains, and the 21^st street station for the F train. It is pretty easy to get to from the airport too. We took the M60 bus and transferred to the subway to reach the hotel. Price was reasonable since it included breakfast, free wi-​fi, decent room, and a good location. We paid $ 100 per night and that was with an AAA discount. We booked only a couple weeks out. Anyway, good base location for seeing NY whether or not you’ve been there before or not.

Setting: It was my boyfriend and myself visiting New York during the Christmas season; we are in our 20s.
Pros:
— both the bedroom and the bathroom were both very clean
— there were more than enough pillows
— the television was of a good quality
— the breakfast wasn’t so bad: there was the usual coffee, juice, bagels (my bf ended up getting 2 of them with no problems)
— we never had to fight a crowd to eat in the dining room
— the staff was quite friendly
— the ride to the city was only about 10 minutes so that made it convenient
Cons:
— the bed was a little too high for my small size; I had trouble getting up on it
— there is no storage of luggage if you get to the city early or leave late after check-​out
— holy moly, in the dead of winter the walk uphill to the hotel from the subway was horrendous!!!
— there wasn’t too much walking space around the room; when the luggages were opened when packing, we could barely would around
— some of the towels were thinning

This is a prettty solid place to stay away from the city and definitely good value. Just be warned that that walk to the subway is about 8 minutes and there is not much in the area in terms of food (we found a japanese place near 39^th avenue which was ok but pretty pricey for what they served… esp. at lunch!). the breakfast is also pretty disappointing and what’s a bit offputting is the guy who monitors the entire buffet and only replaces items once they’ve run out. Having someone watch me eat breakfast and control portions doesn’t exactly give me a sense of well-​being when im on vacation! he also tsk’ed at me when the coffee machine ended up spewing out more stuff and I had already taken out my cup because i thought the machine was done.
The rooms are small and the heater/​ac machine is LOUD. however, you get what you pay for, so 3 stars for being functional is not a bit neurotic.

First Unilocal — but I had to for a Great place like this. We were looking for something clean, safe, close to the subway lines and cheap. For 6 nights we got all that and a Manhattan view. The subway was a 10 minute walk, the city was a 10 minute ride from there. There is a laundry 2 minutes from the front door and the continental breakfast was very good. Bagels, donuts, eggs sausage, coffee. The people were friendly. The rooms and eating area were a little on the small side but, in my opinion (and wife and kids) this was a great place to stay for a family on the cheap.
