The location’s awesome—just a 10-minute walk to the Queens Plaza subway, which gets you into Manhattan pretty quickly. Parking’s kind of limited though. The bed’s pretty firm, almost like sleeping on a wooden plank, but it’s manageable. The elevator sometimes feels like it might get stuck, but it hasn’t actually done so.
It’s a decent budget-friendly hotel for families. There’s a microwave in the lobby, which is super handy for late-night ramen or quick meals—definitely useful for families. If you need parking, there’s a garage around the corner, but watch out if you’ve got a low-clearance car—the road’s a bit uneven and you might scrape the bottom.
If you're coming from the East Coast, I’d recommend it—it’s less of a hassle than crossing into Jersey via the Washington Bridge. But if you're coming from the West Side of Manhattan, you might be better off staying somewhere west of the bridge.
