Hotel Highgate Independent di Long Island City

"The staff were excellent. However, the property was very rundown, even though we were in a newly renovated room. A lot of excess charges and taxes, and the icing on the cake was being charged $5.00 per each piece of luggage stored. This is a very busy part of town, so be prepared to wear noise canceling headphones at night."

"Great location, great staff, clean room, huge bed. Now for the bad. If you dont like city noise, select your room carefully. Windows definitely are not soundproof or even slightly noise reducing, street noise (sirens, horns, etc.) was prevalent all night, but hey, it is the city! Other issue is lack of elevators. Be prepared to wait! Overall though, excellent experience and great location just south of central park next to Columbus Circle and Carnegie Hall."

"All staff were very helpfull specially the housekeeper very friendly and always willing to help."

"Staff were very helpful. Room and vibe were fun and water pressure was amazing!! We could barely sleep though because the room was 80 degrees and the AC seemed to barely work/broken"
