Check rates at these 3 hotels in Long Island City (in Queens across the East River from Manhattan, not to be confused with Long Island). Rates have been running cheapest on each of the hotel's own web sites.
the Verve [probably sold out] http://www.vervehotel.com
La Quinta Inn http://www.lq.com/lq/properties/propertyProfile.do?ident=LQ6014
the brand new Country Inn & Suites http://www.countryinns.com/queensny
Metro: Queens Borough Plaza Station is one block from the hotel.
The Country Inn & Suites New York City is conveniently located between 40th and 41st Avenues on Crescent Street in Queens... just one mile east of Queens Bridge Park on Long Island.
