Room was very clean, staff were all very pleasant. Free street parking was easy to find most nights right out front of the hotel. I'd stay here over a big chain hotel every chance I get!
The hotel staff are very friendly. The balcony on the roof is very large and the transportation is convenient. I will choose this hotel again in the future.
I absolutely loved my stay at The Modernist! I came for a solo birthday getaway, and the staff made me feel welcomed immediately! Elena was so helpful and my check in and check out process was so smooth. Spacious and comfortable room, great location and beautiful aesthetics. I will definitely book here again.
The best, most accommodating hotel I’ve ever stayed at! From the most friendly staff to the clean room. Not to mention the 24 hour art room with installations and projections that was such a comfortable and amazing vibe. Thank you so so much! Highly recommended.
The check-in process was smooth. The front desk staff, Sofia was extremely nice. I stayed in a Studio Queen and I have to say it was one of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in, in years. There wasn’t a spec of dirt and the room smelled so fresh. I’m a neat freak, I always check the sheets and pillows. It was spotless! This was a staycation for me so I could get some work done but I would definitely return.

The staff was so welcoming and helpful! They were quick to answer my texts before checking in and were available during our stay. It was such a lovely hotel! The room we had with the private balcony was so beautiful and perfect. It was also such a short walk to the subway. My daughter and I had an amazing stay and will be back!
Great location. EZ access to midTown on yellow subway. Very quiet. Hardly any traffic noise. Big room with living room, separate bedroom. Small table. Big windows. Comfy bed. Penty of space like an apartment. Really enjoyed our stay.
I am so glad I found this little gem of a hotel. We had a king one-bedroom suite, and it was very spacious, especially for New York. It felt like we were staying in a friend’s apartment. Staff was very kind and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.
The room is lovely. Spacious with a big picture window. Clean, modern decor. Hot shower. I had never stayed in Long Island City, but there was a convention in town and Manhattan hotel prices were inflated. The Modernist was fairly priced given the market. I would gladly stay here again. Just two stops and a brief walk to midtown.
Loved, loved the desk gals and housekeeper! Always helpful and friendly! A gem of a hotel with a lovely suite! Everything you need without a crowd. Will return!
Area is not bad, just not as nice as downtown. Room is much larger than others I have stayed in the area (Manhattan & Queens). Hotel is 2 blocks from N, W subway line or 5 blocks from 7 line (15 min from Midtown). All three lines stop at the Queensboro Plaza so you can change trains or walk. Cost/accessibility to downtown is very reasonable.
