Free 24/7 airport shuttle that actually runs frequently
Heated indoor pool (a rarity for NYC airport hotels)
Recently rebranded to DoubleTree, bringing fresh cookies and updated standards
En bref : A functional, recently renovated airport fortress that does the job perfectly if you don't expect to walk anywhere.
Évalué par @littlewanderingwren : I've stayed here three times now for the tennis and I honestly wouldn't stay anywhere else. The suite is spacious enough to relax in after a long day at Arthur Ashe, and the shuttle service makes getting to the matches completely headache-free. It feels like my NYC home base.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
The hype
Travelers appreciate the massive rooms and reliable airport shuttle but universally hate the expensive parking and isolation from walkable food.
Reality check
You will hear planes. It is directly across the Grand Central Parkway from the runway. Earplugs are not optional for light sleepers.
You have an overnight layover at LGA
You are seeing a concert or game at Citi Field
You are a Hilton Honors member chasing points on a budget
Propreté et entretien
7.8
Housekeeping: Daily service is standard, but attention to detail (dusting high shelves) can be hit or miss.
Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, with new grout in renovated rooms. Older rooms may show wear.
Maintenance: Good. The recent renovation fixed most peeling paint and broken fixture issues.
Linens & towels: Crisp, white Hilton-standard linens. Towels are plentiful but not luxury plush.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells like DoubleTree cookies; hallways can occasionally smell of cleaning chemicals or stale air.

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir
The hotel has officially transitioned to a DoubleTree by Hilton — expect the warm cookie at check-in.
There is zero street parking. You are a captive audience for the $30/night garage.
The walk to Citi Field is possible (approx. 20-25 mins) but involves crossing busy highway overpasses; a cheap Uber is safer.
Quoi emporter
High-quality earplugs or noise-canceling headphones
Swimsuit for the indoor pool
Uber/Lyft app downloaded (essential for leaving the hotel)
Génie des chambres
Meilleurs choix
High-floor rooms facing away from the highway for slightly less noise
Renovated 'DoubleTree' branded rooms (ask specifically for these to avoid older decor)
Connecting rooms if you aren't traveling with a group (sound bleed)
Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I am a light sleeper and would appreciate a room on a high floor, facing away from the highway/airport if possible. Please confirm I am assigned a recently renovated room.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the airport shuttle actually free?
Yes, it runs 24/7. Call the hotel upon landing to track it, as it loops between terminals.
Can I walk to the subway?
No. The nearest train (7 line) is a mile away. You need the shuttle or a car.
Is breakfast included?
No, unless you have Hilton Honors Gold/Diamond status. The buffet at Pavilion Grille costs ~$23/person.
Is the neighborhood safe?
East Elmhurst is generally safe, but the immediate area is highways and industrial lots. It's not 'dangerous,' just desolate for pedestrians.
Do they have day rates?
Yes, they often offer 'day use' rooms for long layovers. Call directly to book.
How much is the deposit?
Expect a hold of around $50-100 per night for incidentals.
Conseils d'initiés
✨
The 'shuttle to the subway' drops you at Mets-Willets Point, but getting picked up there can be tricky. Get the driver's direct number.
✨
Skip the hotel restaurant for dinner. A $12 Uber gets you to Jackson Heights, the best ethnic food neighborhood in NYC.
✨
If the garage is full (rare), there is a cheaper lot at 30-56 Whitestone Expressway, but it's a trek.
