The Modernist Hotel

It’s a spacious hotel and good value of money, especially in New York City!! It’s also very clean!

First time staying here and definitely not my last. The front desk staff was super friendly and attentive. The room was clean and offered a lot of nice amenities for the kitchenette and dining room area. I would definitely stay here again.

Great decor, very clean, very spacious. Aaron at front desk was great at check in. Though the bed we had in Room 700 squeeked a lot for the softest of movement. Unable to sleep comfortably, infomred manager/front desk at check out but wasnt offered any voucher or credit on anything

The Property and service was great!

Misleading website and TripAdvisor listing. Above all: the room rates are $20/night higher than advertised/booked due to a disguised "Urban Fee" (clearly meant to sound like some kind of municipal tax but actually a hotel charge subject to yet more tax). On TripAdvisor you're told that there's "complimentary coffee" but you will pay dearly for it as part of the "Urban Fee." Here is the explanation provided via email from the Front Desk: "Our Urban Fee covers the business center/computer access, robes, slippers, in-room toiletries, coffee (in-room & gallery), fitness center, in-room safety deposit boxes, plates/glasses/silverware/wine glasses, in-room water bottled water, and access to the art gallery." Rest assured that none of these things are worth $20/night and indeed we did not use any of them besides the coffee. (There was no "in-room bottled water" at all.) The "art gallery" is the hotel's only public space -- so you are being charged to use the lobby. That's a first for me in decades of travel. More broadly the look and feel of the hotel did not match what one is led to expect based on the website. It's a stark space with no signs of "art." It's certainly quiet and seemed clean, and is one of the few options in Long Island City.

I had the absolute best time ever and the staff was so nice. Thank you Sofia sooooo much you were incredible. I came here last minute and needed help coordinating my trip to New Jersey and it took about an hour but was able to search the bus I need to take and how to get there. Printed out the directions and helped me download the bus app to pay for it. I was here by myself and this was not my strength and she was such a big help

Spacious!

Small intimate family run boutique hotel. We will stay there many more times I’m sure
