Located in the redeveloped industrial area of Long Island City, DoubleTree by Hilton Long Island City New York offers modern accommodations in a neighborhood marked by high-rises, art spaces, and riverfront parks. The hotel’s setting provides a quieter alternative to Manhattan while remaining conveniently connected via subway, which is a 10 to 15-minute walk away. Guests appreciate the ease of commuting into the city while staying in a less hectic environment.
The property presents clean, contemporary rooms with practical amenities such as streaming services on the television, which many previous visitors have found welcoming and comfortable. The hotel supports an LGBTQ+ friendly environment and hosts a coffee shop, Ora’s Market, located on site, known for quality service and a welcoming atmosphere.
Guest feedback highlights the attentive and courteous staff, with several reviewers mentioning helpful front desk personnel and housekeeping services. While the location has an industrial character, some find this to add authenticity to the New York experience. However, parking can be a challenge for those renting cars, and rooms lack certain furnishings like chairs, which may affect longer stays.
The hotel’s proximity to prominent cultural attractions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, and Central Park adds to its appeal for visitors interested in the city’s museums and outdoor spaces. Its overall 4.3 rating from over 400 reviews reflects general satisfaction, making it a practical choice for travelers seeking a clean, well-managed hotel with easy access to both Queens and Manhattan.
