I stayed here because it was close to the venue for a wedding I attended. It felt safe enough, and it was clean, so it delivered ultimately on my two requirements for a hotel. That being said, it faces a giant power plant and is in a "struggling" part of Queens. It was generally quiet, but every 1.5 hours or so, there would be a lot of honking from the cars on the street below, and it woke me up a few times.
