A sweet stylish boutique hotel.
Such a cute hotel. I love the layout of the main room (I had a king room) it felt spacious and stylish and the view was lovely.
The bathroom is a bit small and oddly laid out w/the tub kinda small and extremely close to the toilet. I’d love to see some longer shower curtains so the floor doesn’t get so wet. The bed was like heaven, great design and style. The balcony is just big enough to stand out on and get some fresh air. Loved that there was a kitchenette and the robes and slippers were a nice touch.
Walls are a little thin but I was across from the elevator so that might have been the reason.
I believe the deposit of $350 is a bit high but it’s a small 14-16 room boutique hotel so it’s to protect against damages.
The day staff were lovely.
The evening guy seemed a little distracted but nice.
A few more outlets at reachable levels would be good.
I used to run a 345 room hotel in NYC so my review is very specific. Even considering the improvements I mentioned, I would easily come back to this sweet hotel and actually wish I’d had more time to enjoy the Lounge space which was decorated in art.
Why?
Most of the hotels in LIC are cookie cutter but this family owned space is a breath of fresh air and I’ll recommend it to anyone who asks me where to stay not just in Queens but in NYC as well. 🌺

Only stayed one quick night but the room was nice and the bed was clean and comfy. I liked the decor and the balcony. The lobby was tiny, wish I had time to check out the art installations, the funky room behind the elevator looked cool.

Quiet cozy friendly hotel a quick hop to the city
We really enjoyed this cozy boutique hotel. Friendly staff. Quiet and comfortable, with quick ride by Lyft or subway to sights and sounds of NYC (without the noise and bustle when you want to sleep!). There are only a few rooms per floor -- felt like a private apartment. A corner deli about 50 feet from the door, which was handy. The room could use a few more outlets next to the bed and maybe a few more amenities in the kitchenette. But otherwise a great stay.
