Fodor's Expert Review Courtyard by Marriott Long Island City/New York Manhattan View
29--15 Queens Plaza N, Queens, New York, 11101, USA
Hotels have started to realize what New Yorkers themselves have known for years: that Long Island City is a convenient base for exploring Manhattan. All the budget chains are here, but among the most smartly located is the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, right near multiple subway lines, in a neighborhood that has gone from shabby warehouses to gleaming high-rises in the blink of an eye. Rooms are incredibly spacious and more reasonably priced than their Manhattan counterparts. Meanwhile, the hotel restaurant nosh! offers breakfast sandwiches and evening cocktails, and hotel staff will help you choose among a wealth of local dining options, including the nearby Adda Indian Canteen, that offer delivery.
PROS
- spacious, reasonably priced rooms
- easy access to Manhattan
- free Wi-Fi
CONS
- no-frills hotel with basic service
- directly next to an elevated subway line
- neighborhood might feel a bit empty to some
