I wanted 5 days in NYC for some peace of mind on a break from the busy life I was leaving behind in London but I wanted a great view of the skyline and good transport links too - Aloft LIC perfectly met all of my needs to have a relaxing break without the frills of a hotel but support from concierge when needed - I was left to my own devices with freedom, the ability to see the skyline at night on the rooftop as well as travel to and from places in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. It was a seamless experience and close to both airports I was travelling to and from. Communication was clear from the start to the end, and my room was perfectly clean and had all the amenities for a solo trip. It couldn’t have gone any better and the groceries and restaurants around were perfect too. But next time I want the room with the view - so there will definitely be a next time!
