Z NYC Hotel

David Kelley

I stayed at this hotel for the view which did not disappoint. The view was amazing. Another positive was that the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately that is where the positive things end. My first shock was when I got off the elevator and started to my room. The hallways are not heated and enclosed with some weird plastic with holes in it. The room itself was average size for New York. Plenty of room for 2 people. The bathroom was extremely small. The room had a safe and mini fridge however the mini fridge did not cool very well. My drinks would have stayed cooler if I had placed them in the hallway. No coffee maker in the room. Asked for washcloths the second day there but never received them. If you plan on using the subway be warned. It is a fairly long walk. Overall I'm glad I stayed here for the experience of the view but next time in New York I will stay elsewhere. There are much better options in Long Island City.

Lobby and lower lobby bar/lounge/restaurant are great. Love the decor and setup. Staff is very helpful and welcoming. They have a free shuttle that takes you across the bridge and drops you off in the middle of some great shopping and picks you back up. The views are amazing. Rooms are small, the cleaning could have been better, as well as some of the towels and furniture are tattered.

ROOFTOP BAR REVIEW! I didn't stay here but I went to the rooftop bar and it is worthy of this review! You can see that the rooms would also have incredible views but if the hotel itself is above your budget still be sure to check out The Cellar Bar on the rooftop! I had went to another rooftop bar in Manhattan and was not satisfied and ended up here. It is a very close walk from the subway station in a pretty safe feeling but quiet neighborhood. When I was there it wasn't crowed, there was a live DJ and a very good mix of music to suit anyone. You can walk all the way around the rooftop and see incredible views from any angle. I do believe that this was my favorite spot in the city. We found reclining chairs next to the wall and sat back, relaxed and took the city in. This is a must do for anyone looking for a rooftop experience, I promise you won't be disappointed! There is no cover charge and drinks average around $15 but the view is priceless! I didn't hear a dress code mentioned and most people looked fairly comfortable, no one was particularly overdressed, very laid back bar.

I’ve stayed here about a half dozen times over the last 3-4 years and always enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised to see the great, new remodel to the rooms. Clean, bright and contemporary. The view is, as always, unbeatable. The staff is friendly and courteous. Two suggestions: 1) How about in-room coffee? I love a cup before I get moving in the morning. 2) And this one is almost a dealbreaker - I like a hot breakfast in the morning! The buffet is very well done. Fresh fruit, bagels, the works. But I’d rather not pay the $25 added to the bill and get some eggs, etc. for breakfast like I used to be able to get here. I miss that. Disappointing for a hotel that otherwise exceeds expectations.

Very cool hotel. Amazing skyline view from room. Very clean minus the half eaten chocolate covered strawberries in the mini bar. At check out we mentioned the half eaten strawberries and they waved the $25 a night fee which was very cool of them. The free continental breakfast was great, nice tea, bagels, danishes, fruit, cereal and even some hard boiled eggs, really good. Great experience for a great price. I would definitely go back.
