La Quinta Inn - Queens  

We booked this hotel for a weekend break to nyc, the first weekend in December 2011. Our budget was around £100 per night and this hotel was perfect, as many in Manhattan within our price range had terrible reviews and pictures. Location was fantastic. Subway is no more than 5 minute walk from hotel in each direction, although we used 33rd St station most. Subway takes you directly into Times Square in approx 15mins for $2.50. Perfect. Felt safe in neighbourhood walking short distance from station to hotel, even at night. Room was large with a huge bed, plenty of room for 2 cases, wardrobe, drawers, iron and cable tv. Everything was very clean and we received fresh towels every day. Lift is very slow but really unnecessary as hotel is not that big. Would def recommend this hotel. Perfect place to rest your head in a city that never sleeps.

Quite close to the subway line 7. Breakfast is very good.

Location and cost

Lack of room at breakfast had to carry heavy bags up to 1st level to get the lift stairs were steep no map of the local area to help you orient your self- E.G. where were the restaurants mentioned in the handbook in the room girl at front counter did not know where a laundromat was- we found many in surrounding streets

Access to subway, continental breakfast, limited off street parking(good considering the public parking is limited in just about every way you could think of). The staff was very accommodating and helpful.

The room key cards kept loosing their data from placing too close to your credit cards, or electronics in our pockets. We had to daily have our cards rescanned at the front desk. They are using the old magnetic strip type cards, what junk. La Quinta Corporate, you need to get with the times and provide or mandate the use of new technology such as chip technonogy like Best Western uses. What a hassle...

Not much... It wasn't too crouded as described in the other comments I read... The location is good, almost nothing to walk to gat to the metro station!

The staff was very cold!! They didn't care about leaving the door downstairs during breakfast, even if it was freezing cold outside... The bed... There was one that was to soft (way too soft) and the other one was just uncomfortable...

The room was very comfortable and clean; the location was very convenient to the train and we were able to park the car and not have to worry about it for the duration of our stay.

We had to request wash cloths and towels - they did not leave any wash cloths and not enough towels for the number of occupants; got the impression they did not have enough wash cloths and only got 1 for 3 people.

Great value. Breakfast had eggs, saugage, and the usual fare of cereals, bagels, fruit, etc. and ran from 6 - 10 AM. The room was clean and we had two queen beds which is difficult to find in Manhatton. The subway entrance was about 4 blocks away and I really enjoyed Pete's restaurant which was about 1 block away. Trip into Manhatton should have taken 20 minutes, but due to repairs on subway 7 route it took us about 40 minutes.

The room was nice and the breakfast good--a good value for the money. We thought we were a little closer to La Guardia so we had to spend $50.00 to get to the airport and back..

It was fine.

Hotel lacation was conviniently close to Manhatten. Hotel was clean, the staff was polite and supportive. A little noise form railway located nearby, but nothing disturbing. Free WiFi available in the room was great value.

close to road, very noisy

I liked the fact that La-Quinta was easy to get to and from. It was excellent for getting back to JFK on the trains. It was great location for getting in and out of Manhatten and for visiting friends in Brooklyn and Cambria Heights. Staff were helpful.

Breakfast plates were too small so had to keep going back and forth for other things. Could do with another computer as had to wait a while until when the other one was finished to confirm my flight.

Clean facility. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. OK breakfast. Close to subway.

Better if elevator was on same level as lobby. A few more coffee and tea options in the room would be nice.
