    We had booked two rooms for 4 nights. One of the rooms given had no centralized Air Conditioning and a portable air conditioner was kept in the room which was not too good as the room had a musty smell and the air circulation and cooling wasn't good enough as the weather was quite hot outside. At first they declined our request for a room change but after we requested for a cancellation with booming.com the lady manager immediately gave us a room with central cooling. The room amenities did not even include a water kettle or a mini refrigerator. House keeping would forget to keep towels in the room the next day. Bathrooms were no so good with water clogging in the washbasin and the shower. Stains on the bathroom floor. Overall not a very pleasant stay. There are cheaper hotels in the locality.

    Check the above answers. Not worth the money.

    The washroom sink is blocked. The room is too small. The location is not good. Breakfast was offered when booked, but not provided. No water in the room, and not enough supply for the persons who stayed.

    Nothing

    We stayed only a few nights and it was the worst experience of my life. I have been traveling all around the world (because of work and family issues) since 2010. Never had I experienced the worst treatment and such disorganization. First, they checked someone else into the same room as my family and me. My children were sleeping, around 9 pm, one of them was sick, when somebody entered the room with THEIR own key. Imagine that. I thought we were being attacked. Then they decided to "compensate" their wrong and gave ONE free breakfast. There were four of us. After we had eaten and paid, they decided they should give us three more complimentary breakfasts. But we did not need it anymore and would have to have breakfast again the next morning and pay for the fourth person. Terrible management. To top it all, they said they had charged my card, although the booking stated we would pay on-site. I did not want to pay with my card; I did not have the funds. So they said they could charge another card (my husband´s) and reimburse mine. But they did not. So we paid twice for this incredible experience (not).

    No parking. The garage was full and I had to drive around 5 times to find a spot close. Especially because it was dark and I didn’t feel the area as safe to be walking a couple blocks with suitcases and my teens age daughter. The receptionist wasn’t very helpful or nice when I asked her about the parking.

    Not much. It was a good place for a one night stay. Front desk guy was friendly.

    Lack of thorough cleanliness in the bathroom i.e. long hair on shower floor. Soap and shampoo containers empty. In the bedroom, both pillows are lumpy. Mattress has seen better days. AC very noisy, even when fan is at low.

    Reception staff is pleasant and welcoming: A good 1st impression. At the roof-top bar, the view on Manhattan is impressive. Drinks are good, Kalamari appetizers are really crispy and light. I would recommend it.

    My stay at Vista LIC was uncomfortable, stressed and unfair in which I will never stay again.

    1st, the bed was caved in, making it very uncomfortable to sleep in. Furthermore, the sheets had some old stains. 2nd. The TV does not have a smart function to be able to see things like Youtube among many other apps. 3rd. I had a work emergency and I had to leave one day early. I asked Sunday at 9am, if it was possible if they would not charge me the last day and the front desk lady said I would have had to cancel 72hrs in advance. I asked for a manager, and she said that there were no managers on Sundays. So, I left Sunday at 9:30 am and still had to pay till Monday. "Talk about building a good relationship with your customers..." I also believe this hotel has the incorrect rating. This is a 2.5-star hotel, not 3.5. The picture of the building in the add is a very old picture, like when the hotel was new because this building does not look like that.

    I called the day before traveling, to verify my reservation was up to date and everything was. The manager greeted me and gave me information of restaurants in the area. Housekeeping person was very friendly. Breakfast at the in-hotel dinner was very good.

    Nothing. The service was great. The people were very pleasant. I would definitely go back to this hotel.

    The property was very inviting. This hotel was hip and apparently very popular. I felt young being around this crowd. On the last night, there was a wedding upstairs and the dining room was also open before the wedding. We got to see the beautiful set up of that space! It was amazing. The floor below had the reception I guess because when the doors opened to the elevator, there where beautiful place cards on the table, gorgeous flowers draping the surrounding, little candles glistening. That was just a glimpse that we were so lucky to see. In the evening, there were lights on that floor you could see from the train. It just looked awesome! That was the place to be.

    The hotel's environment was marked by excessive noise. Following a long drive, our ability to rest was compromised due to the disruptive sounds emanating from the neighboring room and the ICE maker machine in the hallway. The room's cleanliness was disappointingly subpar, underscored by the discovery of two used soap remnants within the shower. Despite the cordial nature of the staff, their handling of customer concerns appeared to be hindered by inadequate training. For those considering a stay at this hotel, it is advisable to avoid the 9th floor and instead request accommodations at a distance from the ICE maker machine.

    The hotel boasted a favorable location, surrounded by various grocery stores and fast-food options. Additionally, its proximity to the subway allowed for convenient access, and Times Square was just a short subway ride away. Moreover, the hotel provided a pleasant view of the Manhattan skyline.
