Top Long Island City Hotel Reviews

Doubletree by Hilton New York Times Square South

Doubletree by Hilton New York Times Square South

10/10 Excellent
"They were super accommodating with my mom and I, we flew in on Frontier (0/10 experience) and Frontier had kept cancelling and rebooking us, but the hotel staff was super understanding of our stressful situation! The bed was SO COMFY and the location was super convenient. The bar and restaurant were good too. If I go back to NYC I am considering staying here again!"
