Holiday Inn Express & Suites Woodside LaGuardia Airport

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Woodside LaGuardia Airport Overview

First Impressions

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Woodside LaGuardia Airport sits right on Queens Boulevard, and honestly, it’s one of those places that just makes sense when you need to be near the airport without feeling like you’re stuck in some industrial wasteland. I mean, Woodside isn’t exactly Manhattan, but there’s something refreshingly real about this neighborhood — you’ve got authentic Filipino restaurants, Irish pubs, and actual New Yorkers going about their daily lives. The hotel itself is a modern three-star property that doesn’t try to be something it’s not, which I actually appreciate.

Location That Actually Works

You know what surprised me? How well-connected this spot is to everything you’d want to reach. Sure, LaGuardia is the obvious draw — it’s literally minutes away — but the 7 train stops at 61st Street-Woodside, which means you can get to Times Square in about 30 minutes. The couples who stay here seem to get this; they’ve rated the location 8.4 out of 10, and I can see why. There’s a Target practically next door, plus some solid local eateries that won’t break the bank. Roosevelt Avenue is just a short walk, and that’s where the real Queens food scene lives.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from Holiday Inn Express — clean, functional, and designed by people who understand what travelers actually need. The beds are comfortable (not amazing, but definitely good enough), and there’s plenty of space to spread out your luggage without feeling cramped. What I liked most was the work area — it’s actually usable, with good lighting and enough outlets for all your devices. The bathroom is standard but well-maintained, and the air conditioning works properly, which matters more than you’d think in Queens during summer.

Breakfast and Practical Perks

The continental breakfast buffet is honestly better than I expected — it’s not just stale pastries and weak coffee. They’ve got hot items, decent coffee, and enough variety to fuel whatever your day holds. The parking situation is a real win here; having private parking at the hotel means you don’t have to stress about street parking rules or walking blocks with your luggage. For a neighborhood like this, that’s actually a pretty big deal. The staff seems to know their stuff about airport logistics too — they can help with shuttle timing and give you realistic estimates for getting to your terminal.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it delivers on the basics without any pretense. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or rooftop bars — you’re getting a solid night’s sleep, a decent breakfast, and easy access to both the airport and the city. The 8.4 rating makes sense when you consider what most people need from an airport hotel: reliability, cleanliness, and location. It’s the kind of place where you can catch an early flight without stress or use as a base for exploring Queens’ incredible food scene. Sometimes the best hotels are the ones that just work exactly as advertised.
