    Great place to stay with a lot of room.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Lovely space. Would love to see kitchen sponge and ability to use the kitchen sink. Patio was amazing. Staff were wonderful. Some minor cleaning issues but all in all, loved the space and would book again.

    Newly renovated hotel, close location to food, train, nice and central to everything, quick hop to city!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Hotel is very clean. Pablo was amazing and made our stay worth it. Friendly service and suggestions for locations to eat were a good help. Only down fall is pictures are not clear I purchased room assuming patio was the view that is depicted on the site hoping to catch the fire works for the Fourth of July. Was told that roof top terrace is only for penthouse suite not general public. Balcony in room is just a window very small space not enough for a chair or two people to stand out on. Also note there will be a $350 hold on your card for each not for incidentals. Room was clean just like pictures. Cool for a quick stay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The Modernist Hotel has been one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. It was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I love the room I had as well-it was aesthetically pleasing. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to my my friends and family and I look forward to hopefully booking again!

    The rooms at this property were lovely. I was in a balcony room and enjoyed the light in the opportunity to open the door and get some fresh air. I’m a fan of flooring at this point in hotel room so that was definitely a major plus for me. I enjoyed the colors and the decor. I especially liked having a kitchenette and a small table to eat meals at my room was also extremely clean. The location is probably one of the only things that presented an issue, but there is public transportation nearby so I was able to navigate it. Just a tiny thing was the glass brick wall. I enjoyed it because it allowed more light into the space which was amazing my only thing about it was that in the morning it just was super bright.

    Very friendly staff, clean rooms, nice view

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Everything was perfect except for the blackout system in the room.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The staff was accommodating to hold our bags before and after check in and check out. They cleaned our room nicely after the first day. They provided various amenities including an extra set of bedding, toiletries, silverware, dining set, ice, and water with fruit. Overall, nice stay for two nights.

    Work trip in LIC. Great location with ease of in-and-out.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    2bed room well appointed and big. Bathroom was roomy. Lobby was inviting. The art room in back was spacious and quiet. Very clean and well kept. Good selection of food, coffee close. MTA/Queens plaza was 5 block walk. I will definitely revisit The Modernist on my next visit. Neighborhood is walkable, quiet and safe. Very pleasant.

  • Engine customer May 2026
