Great Stay Again

I have stayed here twice now. I like hotels like this so much better than the large chain ones. It’s so cute when you pull up and there’s plenty of free parking. The staff is so friendly. We had a room with a bed and pull out couch. The pull out was actually comfortable which never happens. The location is amazing for anything at or near Queens. The breakfast (included) was good - something for everyone. I have 4 stars for cleanliness, perhaps harsh, as it was based in n a chair in the hall that had seen better days. I would definitely return to this hotel.
