First of all this is a four-star hotel. It is new, modern, immaculate, spacious,
and beautiful. The casino off the main lobby is a surprise for anyone who grew up in this area decades ago as I did. The staff at the hotel is accommodating and pleasant. I must give a special “shout out” to Mr. Thupten, the hotel manager. When I explained to him that my husband and I would be landing at JFK at 8 am, having flown from RDU in North Carolina at 6 am and having been up since 3 am, he was so kind to us. He arranged an early check in for us so we could get some rest before our very busy day began. We were in our beautiful room by noon instead of the standard 4 pm. We were able to get a sumptuous breakfast at The Sugar Factory (where we ate multiple meals during our stay) and relax. He accommodated us in a most considerate way as we had flown up to JFK for our brother’s memorial service, and we are grateful.
For anyone coming to NYC, who must stay in Queens, this is the place to stay. It is close to JFK. However, you never hear the planes arriving or leaving. How amazing is that! Three other family members from out of town stayed here too! There was even time for me to win a few dollars at the casino! I give this hotel 5 stars!!!! Great place to stay! Best in area and one of the best in the city!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
