Is Queens and Long Island City right for your trip?
Queens and Long Island City comes in below the city median: $185 against $229 for the New York City selection as a whole.
Review scores in this area have a median of 8.3, and 13 of 43 sit at 8.5 or higher. We rank on a review score weighted by how many reviews it rests on, so a perfect score from a handful of stays does not outrank a strong score from thousands.
Stay here if
- you are trading a more central address for a lower nightly reference price
- a pool matters, since 1 of these 43 list one
- apartment-style space suits the trip, which 3 of these offer
Consider another area if
- your trip is anchored to a landmark on the other side of the city
