Another New Hotel In Queens Plaza, No (Hot) Sheet!

When it comes to offering hourly rates, just say no:

A new Quality Inn Hotel featuring sleek, modern accommodations for tourists and weary business travelers located just minutes from the Queens Plaza transportation hub has been opened in Long Island City.

The hotel opened its doors at 30-03 40th Ave. last weekend. Owner/manager Vipul Patel and his staff welcomed Big Apple visitors to its 48 units — each featuring a complimentary Internet connection, a daily complimentary breakfast and a 32-inch plasma television for use via complimentary satellite dish TV service.

. . .

Tourists will find that rates at the new Quality Inn will save them valuable vacation dollars, too. Introductory prices include a queen-size unit for $129 per night and a double-double unit for $149 to $169 per night. Grand opening prices will be adjusted at a future date, he added.

Patel guaranteed that the hotel would not offer short-stay rates. “If our staff is approached by anyone seeking such accommodations we will tell them ‘No,’ and suggest they go elsewhere.”

But does that big hole in the ground really count as “access” to Penn Station?

Patel said, “This is the perfect location for tourists and business travelers seeking quick, easy access to all subways, buses and highways. We are also just minutes away from Long Island Rail Road access [to] Pennsylvania Station. Who could ask for more?”
