Asiatic Hotel by LaGuardia Airport

Clean room with comfy bed. 24 hour desk was a bonus when our flight was delayed. Location near La Guardia was good. There is a bus Q48 from the Flushing Main Street metro to La Guardia which was very convenient. Metro line to Time Square. OK breakfast.

Since the hotel area is in chinatown, the breakfast food is a blend of western (croissant, bagel, bread, muffin) and asian (porridge, mantou, bakpao/ bao), fruit. Have electric kettle in the room which is handy to make hot water. The second day of the stay after breakfast, I tried to go back to the room and the card didn’t work. Went to the front desk and they ask what color on the door lights, I said no colour. The lady was surprised and asked a cleaning lady to check. The card still didn’t work and finally they figured out the fault is on the door itself not the card. The front desk called maintenance and notified me it will take half hour to fix it. She is apologetic. Since I am not in a rush I do not mind waiting approx 45mins from noticing the issue and fixing it. They provide shower cap, slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste. Elevator is only one but enough to service 8 floors.

The mattress protector is made of plastic material which creaks when I sit, the good thing is when I sleep it didn’t make much noise. No fridge. Tv didn’t work on second day however I can’t be bothered to complain. First day outside of hotel have lots of garbage bins, maybe it was rubbish collection day. Air conditioner does not get cold.

The room space is spacious, the check in receptionist was very friendly, will come back to stay for next visit in New York.
