What City View Inn actually is
City View Inn is a modest property in Long Island City whose name reflects its main asset — the Manhattan skyline is directly across the East River, and rooms facing that way have genuine views at a fraction of Manhattan rates.
Facilities are basic. The value is the combination of view, rate and access: the subway reaches Midtown in around ten minutes, and Gantry Plaza State Park's waterfront viewing points are a short walk away.
