Fantastic stay. Ester was incredibly accommodating and kind. She gave us breakfast and great coffee every day. The room was bigger than most hotels I've stayed in previously in NYC, clean and had everything we needed. The TV with lots of channels + WiFi was a nice touch. It's a 20-min trip into downtown Manhattan and easily accessible.
A few caveats about location:
- It can be tricky to get back into Queens on the late trains (after 11pm) as they don't run all stops. We cabbed back one night because it gets complicated trying to navigate the late trains/shuttle buses at times.
- If you're spending the day in Manhattan, don't plan on going out that evening. We didn't make it out to any lounges or clubs as we were too tired by the end of the day, and it's not realistic to go back to Queens, then out again. We still had a great time and got to enjoy a few bars, but it's worth staying closer to central Manhattan if you want to go out.
