Aloft by Marriott Long Island City-Manhattan View

This was my first time in New York, and the staff at Aloft made sure that it was memorable! My room had a beautiful view of the Brooklyn Bridge through the large windows. The room itself was well-maintained and did not feel stuffy like I tend to see with taller buildings. Even though this was a solo trip, I loved the games and pool table in the common area as well. The building has 2 train stations less than a 10 minute walk away so it is great if you are using the metro as your primary mode of transport. As a foodie who would be too tired to commute at times, I really appreciated that there were both nicer and more casual restaurants just a few steps away from the hotel, usually around a 5 min walk. Fred Garcias was extremely considerate and accommodating, even when I had to check out much earlier than expected. He ensured that I was sent off with a little breakfast since I would have missed out otherwise. Thank you so much for an amazing stay, I will definitely be coming back!

Truly enjoyed this hotel. Area felt very safe. Subway not too far from the hotel making it easy to get around. Perfect amount of space for a NYC hotel room, even included a fridge. Lighting in the mirror area is excellent, shower felt amazing! Everything is placed very strategically throughout the room. Had a great view of the city. The attendants at the front desk were great, Kim went above and beyond to give us local food recommendations.

Really well located hotel, near major subway lines into manhattan and queens, the cost per night is really worth it compared to other venues. The staff was friendly and courteous and the room was clean and had adequate space. The top floor has a great view of the manhattan skyline and Long Island city. Overall, anytime I’m in NYC, this hotel would be my choice of stay.

Didn’t have an issue with this place. Pretty good price for the duration that I stayed. Stayed in the guest king room and honestly not so much space to work with if you have a lot of luggage but it worked for me as a solo traveller. Bed super comfy and shower pressure was so good!! Had to go all the way downstairs for boiling water though but other than that located in Long Island which is one subway stop from manhattan. Great for a first time traveller to NYC. Didn’t get the great view everyone else was talking about.

I had a nice room with a great bed and bathroom. The service was great from the front desk to house keeping. But the service from Urna, the food and beverage manager was outstanding. The breakfast was very well done and the bar in the evening was also excellent. Especially, however, was Urna’s special attention assisting me with suggestions for local restaurants and things to do and see in the area, and giving me directions for transportation. She was like a concierge ! Thank you !! David Gerstein
