We had my fiancée’s bridal shower at this incredible place, and it was perfect from start to finish. The service was top-notch, and the scenery made the whole day feel special. The room was clean, organized, and had a comfortable, home-like vibe that everyone loved. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

I stayed at this hotel last December with my friends and we had a really pleasant experience. The location is fantastic—it's conveniently situated near key attractions and transportation options, making it easy to explore the area. The service was excellent as well; the staff were friendly, accommodating, and always ready to assist with any request. I was also impressed by the parking situation. It's very easy to access, which made my stay even more stress-free. Overall, a great place to stay, and I would definitely recommend it!

I had a comfortable stay at Starlight Hotel near LaGuardia—just a short walk from Flushing–Main Street station, SkyView Mall, and public transport. The location is superb for dining, shopping, and access to Citi Field or Arthur Ashe Stadium . The room was very clean, with modern touches like keypad entry, a comfy bed, and free Wi-Fi . The rooftop terrace was a lovely bonus—perfect for a relaxed breakfast or quiet moment . Staff were friendly and efficient—check-in was smooth and they even let me store my bags securely while I shopped nearby . A couple of minor things: rooms can be noisy—either from hallway traffic or outside—so light sleepers may want earplugs . Also, parking isn’t on-site; there’s off-site parking for around $24/day .

2nd time staying here and it’s a really nice, very modern and cute. The hotel could use better maintenance in the rooms. I was also really disappointed this time because of the mold on the curtains which was touching one of the beds……also few stains on the sheets this time smh. But overall nice hotel! I recommend! Just please make sure things are extra clean and less hazardous for future guests smh thanks again for having me.

Great stay a short walk from Flushing downtown and 7 train, close to Skyview Shops. Not too noisy. Unique hotel from the door pin code to the TV (use LG Channels, very app based). Self serve basic breakfast options in a rooftop with decent views. Seems recently remodeled, so the bathroom marble tiles, bedroom furniture and floors are in mostly great condition. A bit tight so no closet, live with the standing coat rack.

The hotel looks modern inside and out; however, the maintenance needs significant improvement. We stayed for three nights in a City View Suite. Upon entering, we noticed that one of the legs on the pull-out sofa was missing, and the swing-out desk on another sofa was unstable. There was no body wash in the shower. We informed the front desk, and while the staff member was courteous and nice, the body wash was unfortunately never replenished during our stay. The suite itself is spacious but a bit spartan (no closet, just a standing coat rack). Breakfast is also very basic, consisting only of coffee and very limited choice of bread and cereal. That said, the location is excellent. It is a short walk from downtown Flushing, the 7 train, and the LIRR. The Skyview Shops are right next door. Just be aware that noise from the streets and train tracks is unavoidable.

Stayed for 4 nights. Room was smallish but quiet; except for the air conditioner which was very loud and hard to sleep through. The floor had a minor crack, the breakfast was tiny, but none of those things bothered us much; we weren't vacationing to not eat out. Great location; the Mall nearby helps a lot, no trouble at all, staff kept to themselves but weren't unfriendly. Short walk to the 7 and good food options around one of the most interesting places (Flushing) we've ever been! The primary languages are Mandarin/Cantonese, but we weren't treated poorly as tourists and the area was fascinating and culturally unique. Best part: the price was just right. Can't complain, would stay at again.
