Priceline Hotel: 2.5* NYC Airports (Long Island City) Comfort Inn

[Bowden68]

FYI on a recent stay of mine...

For those that may not know, Long Island City is right outside Manhatten. You can take the train there. I had business in the city the next day but did not want to spend $200 a night, so I rolled the dice and pricelined a room in Long Island City.

Use this as a public service, but stay away from bidding 2.5 stars in Long Island City because you may get the Comfort Inn. First, this hotel is in the middle of an industrial park and I am not kidding. You are surrounded by scrap metal shops. Think of it as a row of Sanford and Sons. Just not a safe area.

There is a wharehouse across the street, which they load goods after midnight so if you are fortunate enough to get a street side room, you will be awake all night listening to fork lifts unload semis.

There is no parking, not "no free parking", I mean NO PARKING, so you have to walk blocks away to park your car in run down, muddy lots. Then you get to drag your bag a few blocks to your hotel!

The main treat of this hotel are the rooms themselves. This was the smallest room I have ever seen. I walked it off and it was 10 x 10. If you lose your balance getting out of bed you may crash through the window. When I ordered a pizza (because there were no restuarants nearby the scrap metal yards), I had to eat it on my bed since there was not enough room to move the chair out from the "desk".

With the non stop noise, no parking and 10x10 rooms, I would not stay here again even if it was free.

You get what you pay for.
