Excellent Event

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks ago
I held my birthday celebration at the Aloft. Everyone I encountered throughout the process were courteous and helpful, but especially Ishmael and Jennifer. Despite challenges outside of anyone's control, they ensured the party went off without a hitch, and it did. Also, the hotel itself is very cute, clean and in an up and coming neihgborhood.

They have the friendliest staff. They were very welcoming upon arrival. Breathtaking views of the NYC skyline and the location has many great restaurants and shops nearby. Had a wonderful stay at the Aloft. Definitely coming back to stay. 10/10 would recommend it!

2nd time staying here and it was another very good experience. Staff were very nice and helpful. Our room was clean and we had a great view. Definitely recommend this hotel. Grateful that we were also able to get a discount in the parking garage!

The best in LIC!!! If you're ever in Long Island City or Planning a trip to NYC - this hotel is the place to be! Very accessible to the city ( a few minutes away from manhattan) and the view is STUNNING!

The area where the hotel is located has tons of good restaurants, cafes and pizzerias! It has groceries and convenient stores that you can walk to which gives you everything you need.

The beds are comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful!

I had a private event in their rooftop which is connected to their penthouse, which makes it's the best venue to date! Not to mention the scenic NYC skyline view which is the icing on top.

Highly recommended!

Room tip: The best rooftop bar with the best nyc sky view!

So, just over a month ago I had open heart surgery. I am doing great and moving about my Astoria Queens neighborhood, even going to concerts! But twice in July we had heat waves in NYC, my AC does not work, and since I had to cancel all my summer travel plans I thought, let’s just chill at a cool hotel for several days. Long Island City has grown into a small city over the decade and has many new hotels. I have stayed at some, but after finding aLoft it is the only hotel I will stay at as a solo or duo visit. It is centrally located two blocks from the subway and 59th street bridge into Manhattan, there is a supermarket and drugstore two blocks away, and many amazing restaurants and good quality fast food and coffee shops.
The hotel has a bar, an indoor/outdoor first floor lounge, and an 18th floor outdoor deck with a Manhattan view. You can bring food and drink there. Each time I stayed I got a “room with a view” and could watch the sun set over the city on the 12th and 15th floors.
The staff is amazing, all professional and friendly and helpful.
The rooms are great for single and traveling couples. They are small, no real closets and a couple drawers, but if you are needing only 1-3 nights it is perfect. The bed and pillows are super comfortable. The bed was perfect for my back and some post surgery chest pain. There is a TV and fridge. The walk in shower is fantastic!
Again, I have stayed at some other branded hotels in the area, aLoft is my favorite and I highly recommend it!!

Room tip: Not sure about parking, there is a lot of construction of high rises but it is a safe neighborhood that is very diverse in population.

The staff was super friendly at check in. They let us check in a little early.
Room was very clean. It had a unique set up which I liked. The bathroom vanity had enough room to lay out all my items that I use when I get ready.
Full size Dry Bar products in the shower.
Location is good. Short walk from Queensbury plaza.
I would stay here again if I was in the area. We were here for a concert at Citifield .
