LIC MANHATTAN VIEW HOTEL, New York

The hotel is situated in a residential area of Queens, 5 km from LaGuardia Airport and approximately 30-45 minutes by car from JFK (no shuttle). The immediate vicinity offers a variety of dining options including a steakhouse, pizza, sushi, and cafes within 0.5 km. The 39th Avenue (N/W) and Queensboro Plaza (7, N, W) subway stations are a short walk, allowing easy access to Times Square, Central Park, and other attractions. The neighborhood is generally quiet and felt safe even at night, though some litter and homeless individuals may be present on nearby streets.

Accommodation options include double rooms, family rooms, studios, and suites. Most rooms are equipped with a TV, work desk, free toiletries, and hairdryer. Some rooms have mini-fridges (rooms with two beds or specific suites). There are no kettles or coffee makers in rooms; a microwave is available in the lobby. Many rooms have windows that open. Rooms on higher floors (12th and above) offer expansive Manhattan views. The decor is functional and somewhat dated; carpets and furniture show wear. Air conditioning has been a persistent issue, with many reviews reporting non-functional AC. Some rooms have motion-activated lights that may turn on automatically. Soundproofing is limited; noise from corridors and neighboring rooms can be heard. The Deluxe Two Queen Room and suites like Brooklyn or Bronx are recommended for better space and views.

The hotel no longer offers a breakfast service. However, guests have access to a self-service area with coffee, tea, and hot water at all times. There is a microwave in the lobby for heating food. A deli and several cafes are located across the street and within a short walk, providing affordable breakfast and snack options. The lobby dining area with terrace seating is available for consuming takeaway food.

The hotel's fitness centre is not available at this time due to ongoing renovations. No other leisure or wellness facilities such as a pool, spa, or sauna are offered on-site.
