'Elmhurst Hotel' To Open In Jackson Heights This Summer

JACKSON HEIGHTS, QUEENS -- A new hotel is slated to open its doors in Jackson Heights next month, offering affordable rooms to the summer tourists that flock to the city.

The Elmhurst Hotel has hung its inaugural "Opening Soon" banner at its new spot at 37-59 81st St. in anticipation for a late June opening, Manager Andy Shas told Patch.

The seven-floor hotel will offer just 35 rooms ranging from $150 - $300 per night, Shas said.

"It's a small property," he said.

When asked why Elmhurst Hotel would be opening in its neighboring community of Jackson Heights, Shas said the location was the owners choice, but declined to give their names.

Each room the hotel comes with access to WiFi, air conditioning and heat, satellite and cable TV, free bottled water, a safe - and a mosquito net, according to its listing on Agoda, a Singapore-based discount booking site.

The listing also boasts Elmhurst Hotel's spot less than three miles from LaGuardia Airport as a "convenient location" for travelers that offers "easy access to the city's must see destinations."

"Elmhurst Hotel enjoys a commanding position in the shopping business, transportation hub of New York," the listing says. "From here, guests can make the most of all that the lively city has to offer.
