I wasn't able to meet Lashmee in person but she seemed nice when we communicated. The check in process was a breeze. I suggest booking one of the private rooms over the beds in the living room. Comfy beds and clean bathroom. The immediate area isn't too great so I don't recommend us ladies being out and about. It's a great area if you need to get to JFK or the LIRR. Noisy since it's on a freeway. Good if you need a place before a trip.
