I had a nice overall experience at Vista Lic Hotel, Premier Collection By Best Western. The staff, especially Simone at the front desk, were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making for a warm welcome. However, I encountered some issues during my stay, particularly with the dining experience at Michael's restaurant, where I felt ignored. Overall, I'd say the positives outweigh the negatives, but some improvements in service could enhance the visit.

Rooms

8.0

My room was clean and spacious enough for NYC standards, but I wished it had a refrigerator. The comfort of the bed made up for this shortcoming.

Service

6.0

While the front desk staff were cheerful and helpful, the service in Michael's restaurant was lacking, as I felt completely disregarded during my visit.

Location

9.0

The location was excellent, just a short walk from subway stations, which made exploring the city very convenient.

Dining

5.0

I had breakfast in the hotel, but it was just mediocre, and the weekend staff seemed disinterested in serving guests.

Facilities

The facilities, including the rooftop terrace with fantastic views, were a highlight of my stay and a great place to unwind.

My stay at Vista Lic Hotel was a mix of pleasant moments and frustrating experiences. While my room was comfortable and clean, the service I encountered left much to be desired, particularly at the rooftop dining area. I appreciated the hotel's cleanliness and convenient location near public transport, but the overall impression was marred by some service shortcomings and noise issues.

Rooms

6.0

The room was decent and clean, with a comfortable bed. However, it felt a bit small, and there were a few quirks, like uncomfortable pillows and a leaking shower that could have been better maintained.

Service

5.0

The staff were friendly but inconsistent. My check-in experience was less than ideal, as I faced a lack of recognition despite my loyalty status, and the communication from some staff felt brusque. Dining at the rooftop was disorganized and slow, which was disappointing.

Location

7.0

The hotel is well-situated near subway stations, making it convenient for exploring the city. I appreciated the relatively quiet neighborhood, which was a nice escape from the usual NYC hustle. However, the surrounding area is still in transition.

Dining

5.0

I had mixed feelings about the rooftop restaurant. The views were stunning, but the service was frustratingly slow, and my dining experience was overshadowed by delays and a lack of utensils. I expected better considering the price.

Facilities

6.0

While the hotel offered some essential amenities, like laundry facilities and a gym, there were noticeable lapses in upkeep, such as ice machines not being on every floor. I found the overall facilities to be adequate but could use more thoughtful maintenance.

My stay at Vista Lic Hotel was a mixed bag. While the location was great for accessing public transport into Manhattan and the staff were friendly and accommodating (which I appreciated during a family emergency), the overall experience left much to be desired. The room itself had some cleanliness issues, and the rooftop dining experience was less than satisfactory.

Rooms

5.0

Unfortunately, the room I stayed in felt cramped, and I encountered issues like weak water pressure in the shower and leaking windows during rain. Additionally, there was only one bar of soap for two people, which felt inadequate.

Service

7.0

The staff were generally helpful, especially when we needed to adjust our reservations. However, my experience was marred by a lack of attention in certain areas, especially related to the dining service.

Location

7.0

I appreciated the hotel's location since it was just a few blocks from subway stations, making it easy to explore Manhattan. However, the neighborhood itself didn't feel particularly inviting to walk around.

Dining

5.0

I was really looking forward to dining at the rooftop bar due to its really good views. Unfortunately, the service was very slow, and my food was served without utensils which made for a frustrating experience.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel offered basic amenities, but there were definitely some missing features, like a microwave and refrigerator in the room. Additionally, the common areas felt inviting, although they could use some maintenance.

While the hotel's location was convenient for subway access and the staff were friendly, I encountered several issues during my stay that detracted from the overall experience. The room cleanliness left much to be desired, as I discovered molded sheets, and the noise levels were disruptive, especially with loud parties happening late into the night. Despite the pleasant rooftop bar views, I wouldn't recommend returning based on these problems. 😕

Rooms

5.0

My room unfortunately had molded sheets, which is unacceptable. Noise from parties on higher floors made sleep difficult, too.

I recently stayed at Vista LIC, and while the location was amazing for getting into Manhattan, there were some hiccups. My room had a great view and was spacious, but it felt a bit dated and could’ve used a mini fridge. The staff were incredibly friendly, but I encountered issues with cleanliness that diminished the experience. Overall, it was a decent stay considering the price and location, but there's definitely room for improvement.

Rooms

My room was spacious and clean, which was a plus. However, it felt a bit outdated, especially the bathroom, and I missed having a mini fridge.
