Courtyard by Marriott Long Island City/New York Manhattan View

Courtyard by Marriott Long Island City/New York Manhattan View Overview

First Impressions

Walking into the Courtyard by Marriott Long Island City/New York Manhattan View, you immediately notice how the lobby feels refreshingly spacious compared to most Manhattan hotels. The three-star property sits right on Queens Plaza North, and honestly, the location surprised me — in the best way possible. You’re technically in Queens, but Manhattan feels close enough to touch, especially when you catch those skyline views from the upper floors. The modern design elements throughout the lobby create an inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for your entire stay.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about Long Island City — you get that authentic New York neighborhood vibe without the crushing crowds of Midtown. The 7 train is literally steps away, which means you’re in Times Square in about 15 minutes. I mean, couples consistently rate this spot 8.9 out of 10, and after staying here, I totally get why. You can walk to some fantastic local spots for dinner, then wake up to those Manhattan views that would cost you triple in a hotel across the river. The neighborhood has transformed dramatically over the past few years, with new galleries, shops, and cultural venues popping up regularly.

The Room Experience

The room itself hits that sweet spot between functional and comfortable. The beds here actually live up to the hype — guests consistently rave about getting quality sleep, and I can vouch for that. You know what’s nice? The rooms feel properly sized, not like those cramped Manhattan boxes where you’re bumping into furniture. The Manhattan view rooms are worth requesting if available, though honestly, even the courtyard-facing ones are perfectly pleasant. Each room includes modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, work desks, and updated bathrooms with quality toiletries.

Breakfast & Dining

Breakfast here covers all the bases with continental, American, and grab-and-go options. The grab-and-go is actually clutch if you’re planning to catch an early train into the city — you can fuel up without sitting down for a full meal. There’s no fancy restaurant on-site, but that’s fine because Long Island City has developed this amazing food scene. You’ll find everything from authentic Greek spots to trendy gastropubs within walking distance. The hotel staff can provide excellent recommendations for nearby dining options that suit any preference or dietary requirement.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests rated the location a solid 9.0, and after spending time here, that makes perfect sense. You get parking availability (which is basically a miracle in this area), reasonable rates, and you’re positioned perfectly for both Manhattan adventures and Queens exploration. The staff genuinely seems to care about making your stay work, whether that’s helping with directions or restaurant recommendations. It’s one of those places that doesn’t try to be something it’s not — just a solid, well-run hotel that gets the fundamentals right. The fitness center is well-equipped, and the business center serves corporate travelers effectively.

Hotels near me in New York deliver quick walks to Central Park picnics, museum nights, and Hudson River biking.

  Wonderful location. Just 2 subway stops away from manhattan and also on a direct line leading to the airport train. Subway station about 3 mins away and overall the location felt extremely safe. The staff was friendly and helpful. Room was really clean and sufficient . You can kind of hear the subway if you’re a light sleeper which can be annoying to some but it’s not too bad.
