Me and my wife stayed at the Howard Johnson in Long Island city for our anniversary. Our plan was to stay there for 5 days, but we would spend all our time and energy seeing the sites. The hotel was exactly what I wanted. It is the best price I could find for a decent size room. We had a... More

This is my second time at this hotel. My first stay was in 2010 and was pleased with the result for the money spent (you can check my other review at this website). Again, I needed to stay for two nights in April and had been chasing hotels at Hotwire and other websites looking for deals that never appeared. My... More

Howard Johnson, Long Island City, NY Dear Management: As a frequent visitor to NYC with concerns about parking my own vehicle I booked the Howard Johnson’s Long Island City to give them a try. The free parking, wifi, and breakfast and value pricing with easy access to the subway was inviting. The rooms were very cramped but I’ll consider them... More

First let me mention that if you are displeased with the Best Western Long Island City please consider that this Howard Johnson is ran by the same staff and owners. After being told that "at least we weren't kicked out on the street" by the Best Western which had overbooked (and no we didn't use a third party booking site),... More

Best part of the hotel, hands-down, is its proximity to midtown Manhattan - just 5 stops to Times Square. F line stop is about a 3min walk from hotel. Area is beside a housing project but if you just keep to yourself, you will not run into problems and we did not feel threatened walking at night just to &... More

Lived in Astoria about a decade ago and was impressed with the overall change of the area. We were a group of 4 over Easter for 4 days. Really wanted to like this hotel but the aesthetics just did not measure up for me. PROS: Quick, efficient, and friendly check in. Rooms spacious enough for 4, that we weren't up... More

Couldn't have gotten a better deal... price was great. Room was nice, bed pretty comfy. A bit of mold around the tub surround; otherwise clean. Block and a half from the F line - we walked at night with no prob. Neighborhood aethetics are not great, but the locals were friendly. Don't count on parking. Breakfasts were meh. Coffee was...

I just returned from a two night stay at this property and came away willing to stay again if I found myself in Queens, and certainly willing to recommend this property to my fellow Trip Advisor travelers. The property is located across the East River from Manhattan, which is easily accessible from the "F" train subway station just half a... More
