Holiday Inn Express Queens - Maspeth by IHG: NYC

While officially rated as a two-star property, rooms here feature fresh paint and new amenities. The Maspeth location is farther out than transit hubs like Long Island City, making it best suited for road travelers or quick stops near LaGuardia. Beyond the basics, the hotel includes a self-service washer and dryer, fitness and business centers, and all-day coffee made with fresh-ground beans. Note that temporary elevator outages have occasionally required guests to use the stairs.
