Four Points by Sheraton Flushing
First time in New York, overall can’t complain. Lovely staff, clean area, but at check-in they just told us that breakfast was from 7-11am, assuming it was free. We had no issue paying, but it caught us off guard, since we’ve been to a lot of hotels that include breakfast.
