I stayed here shortly after it opened. I have stayed in several of the Long Island City hotels and this one is one of the best in the area, in my opinion. The knock against L.I.C. is that the area is industrial and clears out after work and leaves some folks a bit uneasy as it can be a bit deserted. There are few dining options in the area as well. With that said, you are about a block away from the train station and one or two stops to mid town, closer than if you stayed in the financial district. There is a little bodega across the street that will make you a huge egg, cheese and bacon breakfast sandwich on a kaiser roll for about $2.50, grab a free coffee from the lobby and you are set.

Do you recall your last rejected bid for this area?

130 and it gave me the option to rebid 180. Knowin I was close I made my final bid for lic at 144 and was accepted
