The Property — Four Points by Sheraton Flushing
A functional, no-frills base in downtown Flushing, the Four Points by Sheraton feels like the business end of a chain hotel: clean, efficient, and utterly unromantic. Its USP is location—steps from the 7 train and Main Street’s chaos—making it ideal for budget-conscious travellers who prioritise transit access over atmosphere. Standing in the lobby, you get fluorescent lights, a Starbucks cafe, and the quiet hum of guests checking in for a layover or a Mets game.
Chronicles of Flushing
Flushing began as a Dutch settlement in 1645, one of the oldest towns in New York State, named after the Dutch city of Vlissingen. It became a key hub for religious dissenters, hosting the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657, a foundational document for religious freedom in America. The 20th century brought waves of immigration—first European, then Asian—transforming its Main Street into a dense corridor of Chinese and Korean restaurants, herbal shops, and banks. Today, Flushing is arguably the most dynamic Chinatown in the US, where Cantonese and Fujianese dialects compete with Mandarin and Korean. The skyline is a jumble of 1960s co-ops, new luxury condos, and the occasional old Quaker meeting house, a testament to relentless reinvention.
Best Time to Visit
Full Flushing guide →Best months
May and September—warm but not stifling, with lower humidity than July-August. Crowds are manageable because school is still in session, and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park is at its best for picnics and a walk to the Unisphere.
Peak / festival surge
July and August, driven by summer heat, school holidays, and the US Open tennis tournament in late August. Hotel prices at the Four Points can double during the Open, and the 7 train is packed with fans. Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) also spikes demand locally.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer milder weather, the best flight and hotel deals, and far fewer tourists. April sees cherry blossoms in the park; October brings crisp air that’s perfect for walking the neighbourhood.
Weather & packing
June in Flushing is humid and prone to sudden thunderstorms, especially in late afternoon. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and sturdy walking shoes—you’ll need them for the subway and the occasional monsoon shower.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Four Points by Sheraton Flushing, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor away from the lift and ice machine – less foot traffic and no overhead noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms next to the lift or housekeeping closets – door slams and trolley noise start early.
Best views
Ask for a room facing away from the main road if you want quiet, or a high corner room for a slightly wider outlook – but don't expect a landmark view at a 3-star hotel.
Quietest floors
Upper floors (above the 3rd or 4th) are quieter – street noise and lobby bustle fade higher up.
🔊 Noise notes
Back-facing rooms and interior courtyard sides are usually calmer. The lift shaft can cause low hum on adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. Call the hotel directly after booking and politely request a specific floor or wing – staff often honour simple requests for a quiet room. 2. Bring a small white-noise machine or earplugs; thin walls and hallway echoes are common at this tier.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
