Skylux Hotel - Long Island City

This was a very basic hotel. I have no complaints.

Overall good, no problems. Just wish they had some coffee, or at least hot water for instant coffee. Front desk had cold drinks for sale, but ran out of bottled water. When I arrived a little early for checkin (1pm-ish) and asked to hold on to my luggage till I come back for checkin sometime between 3 to 5pm-ish, the guy at the front desk said I must come back by 3pm otherwise they'll charge me $20. I hesitated for a few sec, and the guy then said never mind no problem no charges. Nothing really happened, but I was a bit confused for a moment because all hotels I've been to hold on to luggage till checkin free of charge. I don't know whether that was a standard procedure at that hotel. Didn't bother to ask.

Unfortunately we didn’t have the best stay. From the time we arrived it was one disaster after another. I will say the staff did try to assist us but the problems outweighed what cold truly satisfy us. Upon arrival we were given an upgrade because our room was unavailable but then told we would have to switch back to our original room the following day. Then when we got to the room they assigned to us, the TV wasn’t working. Even when the worker came to attempt to fix it, it still didn’t work and we had to change to another room. They didn’t have any closets in the rooms and no hangers. There was only one very small drawer and the water pressure was barely there. Furthermore, the sixth floor that we were moved to smelled extremely foul our entire stay. The room size was good however in the king sized room that we moved to, the bed is pushed so close to the air conditioner that you can step on the floor to get to the bed. Also the AC pushes out Sir really hard instead of circulating properly through the room. They said they had an area to sit outside aka foyer but it was a small table with 4 chairs and a view of dilapidated buildings. Just not appealing. So unfortunately we rate this establishment very low. This was the first time we’ve had to deal with such terrible circumstances at a hotel.

Big spacious with balcony
