Long Island City is so close to Manhattan, it's worth it to stay here to save money. Area is little gritty looking but is perfectly safe. Plenty of car/pedestrian traffic up to 9:00 pm on a weekday. I never felt unsafe walking back to the hotel at night. There is a 7-11 next door. It's a 5 min walk to the 33rd St station on the 7 train, and it's 5 stops to Grand Central.

The rooms are clean, but the furniture/fixtures are beat up. Toilet handle was loose (missing the retaining nut). The switch on one of the wall lamps was loose (again, missing a retaining nut). Guests really bang things up. Still, these little things should be fixed. My wardrobe closet had the door removed. Probably broken by a guest. The fridge in the room is big, which is nice, so you can store larger bottles of water/soda standing up.

The toilet in the bathroom is extremely low flow. I swear, it seems like it doesn't flush more than a quart of water. But it works, much to my surprise.

The continental breakfast is basic, but it's pretty decent way to start your day--eggs, sausage, juice, coffee, bread/rolls, cereal, yogurt.

Stayed here Bc most hotels booked during fashion week. Inconvenient location (have stayed elsewhere in LIC without any difficulty getting a cab/Lyft or food nearby). Staff is the only highlight as everyone I encountered was kind and helpful. The hotel is poorly maintained. I got stuck with a smoking room and was appalled by the condition of the room (see photos). The bed was comfy but everything in the room had this patina of misery and the stench of old cigarettes and desperation. There were people in and out of my floor, the emergency exit door was propped open at all hours, and I’m pretty sure the room’s door couldn’t withstand a swift kick. The continental breakfast was inadequate (would only trust the raisin toast) and the eating area was filled with boxes and didn’t look clean. This place needs a overhaul; it doesn’t live up to the usual Wyndham experience.

Girl at the desk was very courteous and efficient. Parking is almost non-existent. Walls are very thin. 4 rooms in our party and none slept because of noise from elevator, other rooms, trains and traffic. Rude ignorant morning clerk refused to give me receipts for my rooms. Says i booked 3rd party.... i booked directly through wyndham as the records show. He was sleeping on the couch when i came into the lobby, had to wake him, he was just too lazy to print out receipts... one of the rudist encounters of my traveling career.
