Red Roof Inn

When you can get a clean room with comfortable bed in downtown Flushing for $ 105 per on a weekend, you should grab it. So, I did. Of course, I was on one of those discount travel sites, but what the hey?! It worked for me.
The Red Roof Inn on Prince Street was opened in 2010 to help with the shortage of beds in the area. It was an improvement on the existing room stock, but has since fallen behind somewhat due to the heavy hotel development that has taken place recently. It does make for more competition — always a good thing.
I was on the 5^th floor facing Manhattan. Loved the view and the beautiful sunset (no charge). The king room was clean and comfortable with working HDTV, fridge and microwave. When you are surrounded by great Chinese restaurants, those amenities do not go to waste. The 11:00 am check out is a bit early, but if you ask the front desk, you might get an extra hour. The thermostat in the room seemed stuck at about 68 °F, and was cool for sleeping without a heavier blanket or quilt, so I put on a sweatshirt. The bathroom was Spartan, and needed a utility shelf near the sink to hold toiletries. Other than those shortcomings, the room was all I needed.
Parking was an issue, too. There is an independent subterranean garage across the street, but it was already full when I drove in around 3 on a Saturday afternoon. I had to find another a few blocks away and haul my stuff up to RR in the rain. Not the most fun thing to do in November.
The location is perfect if downtown Flushing is where you want to be. Surrounded by scores of restaurants of every Chinese alternative you could possibly want, as well as Vietnamese, Thai, and even a stray Italian joint or two, the area is literally a feast for the senses. Be sure to take advantage of all the diversity.
As I come to Flushing with some regularity for business and pleasure, I have been pleased by the arrival of newer and more upscale hotels, but that does not mean that a good bargain is not appealing.
When Red Roof Flushing has one, and I am in the area, I will jump on it again.

Stayed here because my flight to Pittsburgh was canceled till the next day. Would have stayed in the airport but I had my 2-​year-​old with me so wanted a hotel. We had a lovely stay. The room was clean, very comfortable, and we enjoyed the free wi-​fi and free breakfast. Only negatives: lack of control on the heat in the room and the breakfast had cereal but no milk and eggs with no way to cook them. Thought that was kind of weird. Would def stay there again.

Stayed there on two seperate occasions, both times the room was pretty clean. The breakfast was just average, Tang and pastries from Costco. The location is fairly close the the 7 lines finally stop at main street and flushing.

hm… too bad there are such wishy washy star ratings…
i enjoyed my stay here. The major negative part is PARKING. Theres no freakin’ parking garage available for me to enter and exit freely without paying 15 bucks a pop! crazy! plus, the parking garage the hotel recommends is run by the SLOWEST moving attendants ever who have the audacity to ask for a tip. I’m sorry… tips arent mandatory and maybe if you’d move your ass faster, there’d be a tip. (waited 15 minutes to fiddle with thier stupid papers and finally get my car out)
BUT the parking garage isnt affiliated with the hotel, so back to redroof stuff. The room is small, but comes with a fridge and microwave (dont get temped to stay in the expensive Sheraton as they have no fridge or minibar– insane! esp considering their prices!).
Staff is friendly and the hotel is clean. What more can you ask for?
Someone else complained about noise… but i didnt hear much at all during my stay.
Heck, they even gave me a late checkout till 3pm!

Small but clean rooms, reasonably priced (for NYC), close to LGA (constant noise of flights). Be aware this is in China town, so searching for other kinds of restaurants is often futile. Not bad for short stay.

Ugh. Noisy. Room to room noise was unacceptable. You can hear doors slam and echo all over the floor (no sound dampening for some reason). Can easily hear the people and tv in the next room. Seems the other guests are in totally different time zones as they were active ALL night/​morning.
Cheaper than most places, but you are getting what you pay for. Attitude of the staff is non-​chalant at best and down right condescending in some cases. I had a form to sign put in front of me and the lady was irritated that I actually read it since it was my first time there. In general, it did not seem that any of them take pride in their work as is reflected in their casual dress (no uniforms, less than professional outfits), lack of eye contact, curt greeting, and general poor attitude.
The building and facilities are new but you can see the shine will wear off when you take a close look at the quality of the building. So, if you stay here, enjoy it while things are still new.
There is NO on site PARKING! You have to park on the street… in Flushing… Queens, NY… at night. Nice of them to forget to mention it on their website. If you’re travelling only by subway or cab, this is less of an issue.
On the upside, the wi-​fi was free and fast. Easy enough to get a laptop and iPad going with a few clicks of a password.
Breakfast at 7am on a weekday? Really? Most folks have to be gone by then to make their meetings (business) or tours (holiday). So, I can’t really evaluate the food there since we had to be gone by 6:45am.
So, rating knocked down a star for room to room noise and another one for the staff attitude.
We cancelled the second night there and moved to another hotel that was more interested in taking care of us than making a cheap buck.
If you can afford to stay at another hotel, I recommend doing so. If you can put up with these annoyances, then you’ll be fine with a stay here and save a buck. For my money, I’m staying somewhere I can sleep well.

Not too shabby, Red Roof Inn… not at all…
I was expecting a lot worse in terms of cleanliness and space but turns out that the room was a lot bigger than expected. There’s garage parking right across the street but we didn’t even have to pay for parking since there was ample street parking available. Getting in and out of the hotel isn’t that bad except at night when the front desk personnel all disappear completely… quite annoying that you have to call to get them to open the door — automated key entrance perhaps?
The room was super clean and looked recently renovated with simple layout. There’s a free continental breakfast set-​up in the mornings when you go to the 2^nd floor (i think?). Again, nothing spectacular but much appreciated.
Plenty of places to eat, the subway is available and there’s a brand new shiny Target in the area as well. We were visiting friends so we didn’t go into the city much. Overall, a very accessible area but can’t say there’s much to do besides eat and eat.
