Holiday Inn coming to Woodside

From Sunnyside Post:

The western Queens hotel boom has not neglected Woodside, with an eight-story, 135-room Holiday Inn Express planned to go up on Queens Boulevard.

The hotel is going to be located at 64-06 Queens Boulevard and is being developed by Century Development Group, a Flushing-based company.

The project will include a restaurant, recreation room and office spaces, according to city filings. There will be meeting rooms as well as 39 parking spaces and 21 bicycle parking spots.

While most of the 135 rooms are standard guest rooms, some will be booked for extended stays only, no less than one month.

On its website, Century Development Group heralds the hotel’s proximity to LaGuardia Airport and Manhattan, as well as Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, the Queens Museum and Citi Field.

Raymond Chan Architect of Flushing is designing the building, according to records. Century Development Group estimates that the hotel will be complete in 2018.

Yes because the first place I would go to if I was a tourist would be to woodside! Why would I even want to go to Manhattan to see time square when I can go to woodside and see a bunch of illegals standing at the corner?

Why wasn't this space devoted to "Affordable Housing"? And who are they kidding about the location? That hotel is miles from the airport and the park.

Queens is more concerned about temporarily housing the lonely planet than the homeless.

so why isn't Jimmy Van Bramer complaining about overcrowding on the 7 train.

This is blocks from transportation and anything else. Another future shelter.

Why? Because I get stopped all the time at 58th and Queens Blvd, 61st and Roosevelt Ave, 56th and Woodside Ave, by people asking "Where is there a good hotel nearby?"

A Holiday Inn for the unfulfilled demand for hotel rooms in Woodside.

Same group that is doing that big building next to Flushing Town Hall? These people are killing Queens. Who are they?

Why couldn't this "group" take over the Pan-Am Hotel when it was up for sale? It's a much better location
