Four Points by Sheraton Flushing
The hotel was beautiful a the room was clean. The only thing to note is they use a lot of perfume and cologne through the whole hotel, including the room. I have allergies so I am sensitive to it and that caused an allergic reaction.

This was never nice hotel. Very clean. The staff was nice. I’d stay here again for a longer stay. There’s a restaurant in the hotel. The food wasn’t good but the server was nice.
