Home2 Suites Long Island City/Manhattan View

Very clean, and beautiful building! I appreciated walking into a building that felt like a break from my day to day.

Home2 Suites by Hilton is truly a home away from home. Located in a prime area of Long Island City near Queens Plaza in Queens, it sports a breath-taking view of the Manhattan skyline in the midtown area, that includes the magnificent Empire State building. The Hotel is actually a studio apartment with a full-fledge kitchen, a large microwave, a large fridge, electric stove and conventional oven, toaster, utensils and implements, dishwasher, coffee maker---all these appliances are in excellent working condition. Lots of room with a large bed, sofa, a mobile kitchen-"counter" of sort, a decent open closet space also is provided. Especially convenient is its pivotal location...just a couple of stations away from Manhattan on the E subway line. Also, W and N lines to 39th Avenue, L. I. City. Housekeeping keeps the rooms spick-and-span. Continental breakfast is sumptuous (for a vegetarian like me, cereal, milk, fruits, juices, yogurt inasmuch as you could devour!). Mention must be made of the front-desk personnel...particularly, Enzo, Jeff, Marko and all their colleagues who manage the Hotel in an exemplary way. They are all so polite, helpful, and provide pointers on the Hotel's neighborhood in Queens and Manhattan as well. There are convenience stores in the neighborhood, the savory Goodfellas' Pizzeria (only take-aways) on 40th Avenue, Laundry-Lab on Crescent Street are conveniently located in the vicinity. There are no negatives, except that they may consider providing some vegetarian items in the breakfast.
