EVEN Hotel Long Island City - New York by IHG

Great stay. Friendly staff. Compact accommodations as expected in NYC but convenient to multiple subway lines and Queensboro Bridge. Good food options nearby (including the superb Manducatis, great Chinese restaurant options, and closer staples). Great stay

It’s a new property that is clean all over. Staff are amazing, thanks to Douglas, Juan, Matt and the young lady on the desk, sorry I didn’t get your name, were so helpful, friendly and made our stay so comfortable. We didn’t have breakfast but there was always a free tea or coffee in reception that was a welcome extra touch. The bathroom had a feeling of a little extra luxury with the walk in shower and double shower head making for a lovely shower. Extra clean all round and I would certainly recommend this hotel as a world wide traveler. Nothing at all. The only comment I would make is, it is a little way from Times Square if you want the tourist sites, but we took the ferry and walked which was fine for us with no mobility issues.

We had a lovely stay indeed. We felt like home on the first day. I can only recommend. When we come back to New York, we will stay here again. <3

Not much to offer

Everything excellent

What a great find! The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was larger than expected for the NYC area. Great location close to Greenpoint. Area was very walkable. Rooftop area is lovely. We didn’t eat/drink there, but on a nice day that would have been very nice. We will definitely stay there again.

The staff was not reachable at the front desk via room phone after 11PM. I had to call the hotel through the outside line to reach them! Housekeeping would not consistently provide floor towel for the shower; I had to resort to using a bath towel for that. The restaurant upstairs leaves much to be desired. They are adequate but not very good.

Good location in LIC, close to several subways stations, downtown LIC, and the water front. The highlight of the stay was the friendly staff. Douglas at the front desk made me feel like at home, I would consider returning just for the friendly staff. The breakfast is served by friendly staff as well, at a nice room at the top floor. Took a bit long for the shower to have warm water in my room.

The room was truly tiny and hard to move around for two people. You would have to remove the chair in order to get by between the bed and the desk. That was the only minus.

Close location to the subway. I was attending an event close to the hotel & its location to both the subway & venue was what made me choose this hotel. The room was perfect for a quick stay. Douglas was very friendly during check-in.

I wanted to give this hotel 5 stars because the staff couldnt have been nicer and more helpful. Literally. So amazing. However, our room's AC was broken and apparently ours wasn't the only one, they just couldnt get somone out to fix it. Thankfully the fan would turn on everything so often but our room never got below 75.

Room was not prepared when I arrived, coffee makers did not work, room was hot and noisy in the AM.

We also enjoyed the vibrant life of Long Island City more than I thought we would. It's lively without being touristy. And the proximity to the East River, with its views of the Manhattan skyline, and the New York City Ferry system was another unexpected plus!

Location, cleanliness and helpfulmstaff. Towels were a bit rough and had strange detergent smell. Market food options were very limited.

Stayed there twice. First time was no issues. Second time I checked into a room where the A/C wasn't working but as soon as I told the front desk, someone came up and tried to fix it. When they couldn't fix it they switched us to a new room. The staff did a great job pivoting and overall I'd stay there again

Douglas was super welcoming and fun to talk with about New York and was very helpful in all things. I greatly appreciated it, and put me in good spirits immediately and helped me see this as one of my best New York stays in recent memory. The room was adequate, well supplied and clean. The bed was comfy. Water pressure was good. On my side of the building there is an elevated roadway which you can hear cars drive by throughout the night, which for me was not a problem since I wear ear plugs, but for some sensitive people I think it's good to point out. I think it only affects one side of the building. I didn't use any of the hotel facilities, because I was too busy exploring New York. There a multiple subway lines that are within a very short walk of the hotel and can get you into Manhattan in less than 10 minutes. You can pick up groceries at Target or Trader Joes, or choose from the many nearby restaurants including the Court Square Diner which is a must!

The only downside was the noise in the room. The building is close to a highway, and the windows do not block the noise very well. We stayed on the second floor, and after the first night we asked to move to a higher room. The staff helped us quickly and moved us to the fourth floor. The noise was still noticeable, but we managed it by using earplugs. Overall, we had a very good stay and really appreciated the staff and the hotel’s location.

Good hotel in Long Island city well located close to metro station. Rooms are a bit small but comfortable. Great bed.

Staff and checkin are excellent. Friendly and extremely courteous. Was not fond of the barn door bathroom door. Convenient and close to everything including transit.

Great hotel! It had everything we needed and it was in the perfect location. Will definitely be staying here again.
