I lived in Queens, most of my life and know the area to be quiet and respectable. Still, I was a little nervous about a motor lodge. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and efficient the hotel was. Ok it is not the Waldorf, but it felt comfortable. No surprise charges, and a nicely renovated room were greatly appreciated. It was near to my destination had free parking and was near to a variety of restaurants. I could have walked if I werent so hungry. Parking did fill up at night so I squeezed in so just be aware if you are out late on a weekend. Would stay again.
